I'm sure you can find some cars in your area that you can see, hear and get a test ride. Too many variables to make an informed purchase decision based on text that appears on a PC monitor. That's what I did. You'd be surprised how the same system will sound differently between two cars. That's why it's hard to tell someone how a system sounds.

Every once in a while someone will speak up with a negative report, but for the most part all you'll hear is "the system I bought is the best".

Go locate cars in your area and have fun.

Since you have a 99 get the Corsa Touring catbacks. They will sound about like the Corsa Indys on your car. Why? You don't have the added restriction of pre-cats! Your car will sound a bit louder than newer C5s with the same mufflers. :yesnod:

I'm not sure when GM added the precats but I'm sure the 99 doesn't have them.
