I love my GHL, I have never heard another Corvette sound like mine. Well worth the money.

It appears that B&B Bullets drone.

I have the Mid America Quad Power and I like them, but I would like someday to try the GHL, I've heard many good things about them.

Personally speaking I'm not a fan of Corsa's. But that's just me, lot's of folks really like them.

I just had my B&B Bullets installed last week, and I LOVE them. It is easily the most aggressive exhaust note I have heard.

As for the "drone" arguments...

I drove over to a friend's place last night, most of the way on the interstate. Barely any drone. If you can't handle it, there is a thing called a radio. IMHO, it is more than worth it for the amazing sound!

The same can be said for the Corsa Extremes. Love mine, especially with cam/headers/high-flow cats. They're basically straight pipes with mufflers only used to kill the drone (they don't have discrete inlet and outlet tubes).

I've heard great things about GHL too, they were a very close 2nd choice for me...

Can't go wrong with either one!

We went with the 2.5" XS Power catbacks. I think they sound awesome. Will be adding an X-Pipe very soon though! Be sure to get an X-Pipe to go with what ever system you choose or you will be sorry. Can't stand the popping when decellerating!

If the Corsa Extremes are as good as the Corsa Pace Cars I have on mine now, that would be my choice. I've been very impressed with the quality and sound of the Pace Cars.

I had the bullets on mine and at cruising speed they drone bad, To hear the radio I had to turn the volume up very loud and forget about a conversation. I traded my bullets for a set of Tis even swap and I think I got the better end of the deal.
