Default Corsa Sport vs. B&B PRT on 2011 C6 base Corvette

I am looking at a new axle back exhaust system for my 2011 Corvette purchased last summer. I am interested in either the Corsa Sport or the B&B PRT system. I have heard both from the outside of the car and on videos but not inside the car while driving. I would like to make sure my wife and I can hear the radio while cursing down the highway. Would appreciate any feed back from owners. Thanks!

Where do you live? I have the Corsa Sports & just love 'em. They're just loud enough to be aware of them. Very enjoyable working the gears around town and barely audible at hiway speeds. Doesn't intrude with conversations with the passenger or radio operation at all, and won't attract undue attention from LEO's, but you're always aware that they are there. The tires make waay more noise than the Sports. Sound clips aren't gonna give you any idea what they sound like. You have to go for a ride with somebody. I couldn't get a ride, so I did the "Hail Mary" and bought a used set, locally, figuring that I could always resell them if I didn't like them. Needless to say, these won't be going back on the market. I'm more than happy with the muffs, all by themselves, but they sound even better when I added an Airraid air cleaner.

I have the Corsa Sports and love them. They are not a problem on the highway. Only hear them when accelerating moderate to hard.

. Sound clips on youtube won't give you a good indication of how the Corsa Sport really sounds. To be honest, I hated the sound of the Corsa Sport from the sounds clips. Then I heard it in person and it was TOTALLY different and sooooo much better. I immediately purchased a set for myself and never looked back. They sound awesome on the inside and even better on the outside. Wish I bought them sooner and didn't wait. The weather in NY is starting to get warm now so I am looking forward to taking the top of my car and hearing how they sound with the open air. Go Corsa Sport you will love them!

The Borla S-Type 2 doesn't drone and you get a little bit deeper tone without going to the ATAK. I have the ATAK and it doesn't drone so I assume that applies to the S-Type 2 as well
