Default Best quadtip exhaust? Corsa or B&B?

Hi guys I need some help choosing a catback system. I really like the look of a quad tip system and the most popular ones I've found are the Corsa and B&B Tri-flow. Anyone have experience with these systems? I'm looking for a good idle sound and WOT, but nothing too obnoxious. What would you say is the best exhaust for the buck? All systems produce the usual 15 to 20 HP gain right? Thanks

i just had the corsa on my car. i traded it for some headers. i loved it though. it not only looked great when you shined the tips, but it sounded good. it was kinda quiet i thought, unless you got on it. it had a pretty good sound at idle if you were standing behind it. i just have my stock manifolds and cats right now, so when i get my new exhaust after the headers, it is prolly going to sound quiet even then. as for the other, i dont know. but i give corsa a <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Stock the corsa is a little louder than the B&B, once you get headers the Corsa will get REALLY loud @ WOT.

the idle on both are similar. I prefer the deeper sound of the B&B. a B&B w/ headers even though it'l get loud @ WOT no where near as in your face as the corsa.

Loudmouth, but I doubt it would be what you are looking for. It is a love it or hate it type of exhaust.

Get the B&B sounds awsome <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> The looks alone put it in a class by itself <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Here's another vote for the Hooker cat-back. Sounds good, looks good and costs @$280 vs. the $700 for a Corsa <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> .

Corsa vote here. Great sound at idle and you'll here it rip at WOT. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Lot's of compliments also. Price is a bit high, butin my case it was what I've been looking for.

IMO the best quad tip system right now is the new one from Banks..It is all stainless like the others and the tips are killer,but it is much cheaper...

their is some pics of the old style system (which I have) on www.speeddemonmotorsports.com and I love the system,but the new quad tipped system pics I have see floating around look so much better IMO..I know MTI,Thunder racing and a few others are carrying the Banks new kit,but you may need to call Banks direct for the lowdown.I know it is the new system they were releasing so they can probably give you the scoop on who has it..Their # is 800 438 7693 and I spoke to Chris over their when i bought mine..Very nice system though! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

how can you not go wrong with Borla? adjustable sound and good looking quad tips..especially if you polish them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
