Default Exhaust

I currently have the corsa touring edition cat-back exhaust with tiger shark tips... it sounds real smooth and all at WOT but just dont really sound like what i want it to... sounds more like a indy car or something... I was looking for something really loud, really loud.... my buddy has a Z06 with mods and what not caint think of his exhaust but you can here him coming from a mile away looking for something like that...
Also willing to trade...

I hear GHL makes a pretty wicked system. Either them or Borla is who I'm going with once I have an extra $900 to throw around.

I have the GHL Magnums - sounded pretty tame to me until I removed the cats and used O2 sims. Night and day difference in sound. Much more aggressive.

The touring is not much louder then stock, you should have got the pace car ones.

IMHO the GHLs are not very aggressive sounding if you leave the cats on. I believe the loudest systems out there if you chose to leave the cats in place would be SLP loud mouths or B&B.

I put Corsa Indys with Tigershark tips on about 9 months ago. The tips looked great, but the sound just wasn't as muscular as I wanted. Even my wife said they sounded a little too high pitched (no insult to those who like them, it really is personal preference). Anyway, we changed them out for Borla Stingers with the Dual 4" tips. Now it sounds exactly what we wanted and looks good too! Good luck.......what sold us was riding in someone's C5 who had the Borla's.
