I had corsa on my old camaro. Sounds awesome with a cam. I have true duals now, but if I was doing a catback on my current car it would be Corsa or Borla

Really? Dang it! I was just getting ready to put a Corsa on with Kooks headers and the Kooks CAT-less y-pipe. Now you've got me rethinking based on your description here...

I heard it on an ls1 with lpp longtube headers and an ORY, with hi flow cats and I think it sounds amazing cruising and then awesome at WOT. You'll love it trust me

if your doing headers and dont plan on running cats your only choices in a catback that sounds good are magnaflow or hooker...and they are some of the cheapest and best flowing. i went with the magnaflow cause it was stainless and got it for under 400 bucks. i also put a magnaflow stainless bullet in the i-pipe to control some unwanted rasp caused by the hooker ypipe i used to run.

I have had my Corsa on my car for 6 years now with headers and its loud at a lot of throttle but I really like it. I only put the cats on when I have a hard time getting inspection sticker. Just my opinion but if any exhaust has any kind of flow then its going to get loud at throttle. The Corsa looks great when you polish the tips up when cleaning the ride up.

Corsa and GMMG are hands down the best sounding y-piped catbacks ever. You'll be incredibly happy with the sound of either

If he went without CATs, would that give you more of a low tone?

hey says that he has a catted y. i have the same headers and y but without the cats. i just think its how the corsa muffler acts with the headers. i just think my setup sounds smoother also...less poppy

I've had Corsa for a few years now, I've made a few changes along the way.

Here is a link to those changes.

http://www.streetfire.net/video/exha...es_2028780.htm

I guess I should point out that all clips are with Pacesetter LT's and never any cats.

the first clip is with Pacesetter ORY, after that the rest are with a QTP ORY.

first clip 6000rpm rev *oops*
all other clips between 2k and 4k

I don't think so. If you can afford the dual tips do it. You'll be glad you did. Single tips just don't look good on a T/A

I have looked at picture after picture and the dual tips just look... crowded... Matter of opinion I suppose.
