Default it's been beaten to death..Corsa or B&B?

Corsa or B&B


i'm trying to decide on which premium catback to get. i'm more than likely still going to get a cutout before the cat for use at the track.

my soon to be setup is...(after i buy my headers and y pipe and cat)

LT1
longtubes with ORY with a highflow cat put when it gets back to single pipe again and cutout before the cat.

it has a custom straight pipe exhaust on it now that i've had for a few years now, i think it would be rediculously loud with the headers...and i'm just ready to step up to a nice catback.


so....which on would you choose?

Corsa w/ premium tips, BUT why spend the $ on it if you could just pick up say a Magnaflow for half the price???

cuz from what i've heard/experienced, the corsa sounds badass. and every clip i've heard of the B&B it sounds badass too

i'm just not sure if i'm ready to spend that kind of money yet, and i'm doing my research.

It depends how much do you value your hearing? If you like being deaf and not hearing anyone sitting in the passenger seat go B & B. If you value actually being able to talk and hear full sentences and you want to be able to actually control the volume get Corsa!

Where did you get that info?

My B&B set up is nice a quiet at cruising speeds. I couldn't be more happy. I've never owned a Corsa, but I've heard them. They seem a lot louder than the B&B.

Unles your on it, the B&B is totally DD. When you get on the gas it sounds awesome.

The one I rode in was a C5, with LT's and an X pipe and it was ear bleeding loud. But then again the F-body system is different. Are yours the bullets?

Nope, It's got a regular muffler location. It's really on the quiet side of the scale.

Scroll down to the B&B section. The Quad tips look **** with the Trans Am bumper.

Dude, the B&B Tri-flo is a catback system, not a bullet. And it's quiet. I have it with LT and my exhaust is still quiet to some people.
