BORLA gets my vote.

Go to a car show or to a local corvette club meeting and listen to some in person. Maybe even get a ride to hear if there is any drone. Corsa is a bit quiet if you are looking for a loud exhaust.

Corsa pace car!! The touring is too quiet. You'll regret it. It's real quiet until you nail it, then all hell breaks loose. No drone, quiet enough to hear your passenger and stereo. If you search for posts, most folks that have the touring don't like them. David

The car show advice is something you might want to take into consideration, because that is the best way to get the real feel of what you want.

I agree with Tellefan. I have a Corsa touring and if I didn't know better I'd swear I still had the stock system. At least until wide open throttle. If that's what you want, I can recommend it.
