How are you at handling drone? I thought my head was going to explode with the Route 66's. I'd go with the Corsa's.

Hey, is that a JLark Pimp hood scoop?

No problem with drone, I think I'm going with Flowmaster to save $$$$ but I dunno about the performance. is there any rwhp if I wanted Flowmaster?
Nope, it's a custom hood scoop

"Best" is an individual decision based on some research. I would do some looking and listening.

I have Bullets..........I've also laid Dynapad over the rear cargo floor and then set a cargo mat on top of that. There's very little drone now.

Putting headers on soon (if they ever come) and am curious how the sound will change.

I've had the Corsa Sports since Jan '05. No drone, nice sound. I added headers, x-pipe & hi-flo cats last week. It now drones from 1500-1900 RPM, quiet rolling at lower rpm, >2000 not a drone.

I love the way it screams but probably should have skipped the cats. Nah

Thanks a lot for voting, OK my main question now is about the Flowmaster. ppl who tried it, how much hp you guys gained from FL? everybody keep saying that an exhaust system is not for adding more horse power, the main reason ppl install it is for the sound plus giving your car a little breath.. what do you think about the performance? better than Borla?
Thanks in advance!

I have had the Flowmasters on my 06 for only a week.I dont think there is any hp gain.I may be wrong but the car feels like it was quicker stock.
