What is your ultimate goal? 60's Muscle Car sound? Exotic loudness? Do you care whether or not there are resonace issues?

Personanly, I say B&B Bullets. Mean purr at idle, loud as hell at WOT. I do have alot of resonace at lower RPM's, but once I'm on the highway, I have no issues cruising at 75 in 6th.

You will find as many opnions on here as there are members. Go to some local get togethers and listen to what folks have. Would be better if you actually ride in their car to get a beter idea of that particular system. What is right for me, may not be right for you.

Good luck in your quest.

Try a set of Borla Stingers and LGM long tube headers and you will love the sound. Sound at WOT is the best. I just installed a set and the sound is awesome.

After listening to numerous sound clips, I went w/ the dual tipped Borla Stingers....And I don't regret my decision.

Hate Corsa, too high pitched. IMO, B&B sounds the best. Borla also sounds great.

I ended up going with the Borla stingers two tip. I like the sound but would not mind a little louder. I am sure installing an X or H pipe will help. Not no mention headers.

If you want loud, ditch the cats.

Long tube headers (Kooks), x-pipe, no cats, and catback (Stingers) = Wake Up Call!!!
