When choosing a cat back exhaust system remember to factor in what other mods you may do down the road.
If you are putting headers on, you may not want the SLP's as they can get brutally loud. Many aftermarket exhausts sound great through stock manifolds, but become horrific after a header install.

If you are sticking with stock manifolds then the Corsa, GHL, Borla etc. are all good sounding, relatively low resonance mufflers.

If you are going to go with headers eventually, I'd look into GHL's or even keeping your stock Ti's as they still have very good flow, are light weight, and won't become obnoxiously loud after header install.

The last thing is there is no replacement for hearing them in person on a similarly set up car. Web sound clips and word of mouth are just that. There are probably a few Forum guys near you that would be happy to let you give their car a sound audition.
Good luck with your choice!

I ordered the SLP because of the look!

The sound is not a concern for me since i have turbo's wich lower the sound. Look at this site: http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.119.6363
There you can play the sound

[B]Have you heard the corsa pace car exhaust in person or from a sound clip? I have this exhaust and love it. The idle sound is like a marine motor, with no interior noise at cruise speed. Put the peddle to the floor and it gets loud fast. I gutted the cats, still no interior noise at cruise, and the sound stayed the same at idle, but floor it and it gets really loud fast. Overall the sound is unique.

thanks that helps alot actually!!!! I have heard sound clips for the Corsa Pace car exhaust on Corsa's site and madvet.com ----- both sites it sounds good....Nice sounding and I agree with the marine part! I was also looking at the SLP Power-flo but now thinking the Corsa is the right way to go....If you got any pics or sound bytes I would love to hear or see it!!!

It's a tough decision!
In my world looks is far more important than sound, that's why i choose the Powerflo! I will get a different sound with the turbo's anyway.
But you can tune the sound a bit on your own if you as an example install the midsection from the XR1 i think you will get a mellower sound...
The tailsection from powerflo should have been sold as a separate item or with a bigger muffler for people wanting a mellower sound
