Very loud judging by the fact that there are two used sets of the Billy Boat catbacks on eBay.

You can probably find just about any of the catbacks on ebay so I wouldnt consider that a sign of discontent amongst owners. The bullets are loud. The corsas are not. No getting around the fact that those things are different. You have to figure out which one is the lesser of two evils. Loud but better sounding but can get old (for some) during ordinary driving. Or quiet but doesnt (for some) have the aural satisfaction of the louder exhaust. I have the corsas but my choice was based strictly on WAF and the fact that its a daily driver. If it was a weekend car I would have gone louder.

Do you have a sound bite of the BB and LG Headers that's the setup I want, but some are saying loud, some saying no, I'd like to hear for myself. Loud doesn't bother me, but on a trip, passenger may not agree
