I just bought the Stingers (still waiting for them). I heard them on my neighbors car and loved the sound! Most people will say to hear them all before making a choice. If you search the forum you can find some links to sound files (not nearly as good as live, but at least gives you some idea).

Good luck - keep us informed :thumbs:

Almost everything out there is louder then stock. And louder usually sounds better. That is probably the number one reason most C/O there's. Some systems add a little more HP too. Good luck.

If you want loud and mean then B&B Bullets are the ticket. (sounds like the old big block chevy with the classic turbo mufflers) just my 2 cents.

Borla Stingers are the best! If you want a muscle car sound then this is the way to go! Its not as raw as some straight pipe versions, but meaner than the Corsa's.

Actually there is no such thing. How something sounds is strictly personal. It's like trying to say which speakers are best. Many subjective qualities are involved.

No one can answer this question with any honesty.

Go listen for your self and you decide. That's what I did.
