I say Hooker. Way cheaper. I never liked the sound of the Corsa.

I'm runnin Hooker & its great. I have heard many combos with it & its always very aggressive. I would just get Hooker & spend the other money on more mods. Corsa is just too expensive IMO.

Hooker may be cheaper, but it kind of sounds just like loud exhaust. Corsa on the other has a sound all its own, it really growls especially when hooked up to some nice headers...

Hooker sounds awesome with an ORY, I would go with that, put the money elsewhere instead of the Corsa

I' ve heard a Corsa, through Dynatech LTs, and cats' , and did not like it. Sorry... I DOES have a sounds all it' s own, but, IMHO, it just doesn' t have a sound I look for. I have heard the Hooker on a cam' d car, with LTs, and it sounds pretty wicked. IMHO, go to ls1sounds.com and take a listen. Or find cars with these and have a listen.

IMHO: Hooker...

If you dont care about price..... CORSA all the way. You definately get what you pay for! As mentioned, it has its own unique sound then every other LS1 on the road. I have huge heads, huge cam, Kooks LT, and ORY and its unbelieveable! You couldnt pay me enough to switch to anything else.... not even GMMG (been there done that dont care for it and never will).

If possible you need to hear both in person with similar mods that you have or intend to do.

I had corsa w/ a catted Y and it was awesome. Corsa has a great sound that no other catback can mimmick.

This time around I'm throwing the hooker on there, for something different and the price is a bigger factor the second time around ... so i'm just going w/ the hooker and i hear it sounds good w/ a modded car.

Hooker is awesome. I had it on my last car and there is nothing on the market that can beat it. IMO the Corsa is way over priced. Stay away from anything involving the 'loudmouth' unless you want to sound like a ragged out 305.

CORSA! I went the cheap catback route first, a Loudmouth, and the old saying is true - you get what you pay for!
