Just something to remember... engine mods change the characteristics of any catback system considerably. What may sound best on a catback only car might be crazy loud on a heads/cam/headers car.
The B&B bullets sound wicked on a otherwise stock car, but the oem NPP setup is amazing on a H/C/Headers car.
Personally I have Stingers on my C5... I tried some Corsa Indys and loved the WOT sound and no drone at cruise, but at the end of the day I prefered the Stingers overall.
My car sounded very different w/ stingers only, then w/ stingers and Kooks headers, and then finally the full shabang w/ the G5-X2 cam. I know it's not a C6, but the point remains valid to compare apples/apples.
Corsas trademark (and some will say tradeoff) is awesome WOT sound w/o any drone at cruise. The Borla tradeoff is better idle and a deeper note but at the tradeoff of some drone.
PS: If I had a C6 I'd most likely order some Kooks 1 7/8ths headers w/ cats and Corsa extremes
