Serioulsy, I've never seen or heard of anything more than + or -3 HP changing only the stock Ti. If they truly got 15tq, that is WAY cool.

I've seen several examples of aftermarket exhausts adding around 10hp on the before and after dyno, from individuals, not companies.
As far as which to choose. Just in terms of sound, I have spent a LOT of time listening to all of them and I think the Stingers have the best all around sound with the B&B Bullets being a very close 2nd. I think the stingers sound pretty incredible. Perfect balance of a deep sound with also sounding very tuned and refined. I like that. Personally I think the GHL Bullets sound sloppy and I don't like the tone either. But to each his own.
In terms of looks I think both Corsa and Borla's look nice. One thing I didn't like about the B&B's was they seem to sit too high..too close to the bottom of the car and just don't look quite right to me. Not that crazy about how the GHL's look, although the pic above looks sweet, they have this kinda shot-can look I don't like...hard to describe. But again, to each his own.

Check out the new Corsa Extreme system - I had it installed on my 2002 Z06 about a month ago. Love it - aggressive without drone.
Look at the design - I doubt the Stingers or the Bullets offer better flow thru. The Extremes are basically a straight thru system - with the cans to catch the drone.
