Default More Exhaust Questions

I have a 2001 and I would like to upgrade the exhaust. I am seeking moderate throaty sound, quiet on highway with low/no resonance. Also most of my time is spent below 3K RPM so I would like to be able to get some nice sound when I accelerate in the 2-4K RPM range.

I have identified Corsa Pace Car and B&B Route 66 as contenders but I would appreciate opinions on how well both (or other alternatives) meet my needs.

Many thanks to all.

I like the Magnaflow, its deep sounding and upon acceleration it opens up nicely, but you should go to a local show or event and hear the variety thats out there from fellow owners. Good luck

I have the Corsa on my 99 coupe that is stock other than the exhaust (came with them) and like them, but I do like the B&B better becuase they got a little more muscle car sound to them.

this is the best advice you will get on here! Anything else about a certain brand that an individual has will be biases (i.e. B&B are the best, no Corsas are the best, etc). go listen to them. In the mean time, do a search for "exhaust" on this forum and you will find hundreds of threads on this very topic as it comes up every couple of weeks. Good luck!!

Where are you located? Someone in your area would most likely let you listen to theirs. That is how I made my decision on my Corsa Indies. Good Luck
