Headers are a must I have the 1 3/4 Kooks with midpipe and hi flo cats
I used Corsa axle backs they make more power than Borla but in my opinion Borla sound better. My car sounds like a corvettte now
not that sewing machine it used to sound like.

Like they said, Headers are good edition. As far as a axelback, If you are looking for LOUD go with the B&B bullets, some people find them to be loud... but, those who have them could not be happier. There is some drone from what I understand (mine getting installed tomorrow)... but there are easy ways around drone on the highway. Street driving, is another story... Lots of fun, the way a vette should sound.

* Stay away from Touring models, too close to stock.
* Bad A$$ Muscle Car sound, get the BB Bullets.
* For a similar but less aggressive sound, get the Borla Stingers/GM Off Road.
* For a nice European sound, get the Corsa Sports.

I had the Bullets, now have the GM Off Road, soon to have the Corsa Sports. Anything is better than the Buick exhaust GM put on our cars

I just the B&B Fusions and I think I like them Just a little louder in the quiet mode than I was expecting, but I think I will get used to them. Really cool in the loud mode. My daughter was making faces at me yesterday because I kept changing them between modes while I was driving.

You need to listen to as many as possible and make your choice. Listen in person and maybe take a ride in the car. Corsa is high pitch european. Bullets are low pitched but give annoying cabin drone. C6 has a bad problem with cabin drone when you put a loud deep sounding exhaust on. Here on the forum, one guy will say he loves straight Bullets while another guy will drive them one mile and say he's taking them off. So what one person likes, you may hate after spending $1500.
