Had Corsa's too and decided to switch to Borla two tube. Much deeper, throatier growl. But I also have Kooks long tube headers and no cats. So it sounds VERY mean!!! I get so very many compliments, especially from the members of my Vette club. But this isn't for everyone!!! Mine DOES droan below 1700 RPM but that is something it rarely sees. Agree with most everyone else. Go to a gathering and check out various systems. To each his own.

I just installed LG long tube 1 7/8's and Big 3 exhaust with no cats. Sounds really good to me, deep and throaty till you get in it(like most). But I love the ear candy so I will have a by pass welded in along with DMH 3 inch cut outs next week.

Lots of great options out there...

Default Magnaflow

I just got Magnaflow axle back and I love them. Great look on the tips and the sound is perfect to me. I have driven more in the last 3 weeks then I can remember. I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore. Love the sound.
