I thought for sure you would say GTR tips as they are closer to the PRTs :D

Looking at the pic, it does not look like you can fit an exhaust plate between the GTR tips. That is why I don't like them.

And you mean my PRTs may be too loud after my heads/cam goes in???
Are you running with or without cats?
How much louder is it than before you had heads/cam?

This is with stock cats. The car sounds great at WOT from the outside but just too much resonance in the cabin during highway cruise. I'll send you a MPEG later this evening of what is sounds like. Its funny that another customer with heads and cam (shftn6) with PRTs and his sounds much quieter.

I think with the blacked out bottom on the rear that you should go with the Corsa GTR tips.

I am very suprised that you find the PRT too loud with heads/cam and stock cats. I didn't think the extra airflow with the larger cam and ported heads would make THAT huge of a difference on the resonance from the PRTs.

I went with the Pro tips. I am very happy with them. The Corsa system was wellmade easy to install.

I noticed that the exhaust system is available through Ken Fichtner Chevrolet for $750, I wish I knew that when I bought mine, I could have saved $100.

Good Luck. Tom
