Here is a few for comparison:-
Stock exhaust:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLPfRg3wTds

Corsa Catback:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jP7lQiBPZI

Corsa Catback with LT Headers no cats:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwTktfUB3og

Trying to catch the sound on camera is difficult without a decent microphone. All the above were using the one built into a compact camera. In side the car the car sounds a whole lot different, however on camera they are not to different.

i just put a corsa on my g/f's head/cam trans am. this is about her 4th catback lol. the corsa is pretty quiet on the inside but on the outside is almost as loud as a borla. it's def. louder than the hooker catback that i switched out for the corsa. she previously had borla adj., hooker and now the corsa.

My car (H/C) has a corsa with a bullet in the I pipe. It sounds really good, a little toned down but really deep sounding. I will try to get a video up in the next few days.

Here is a vid of mine driving down the road towards the camera..then going WOT right in front of it. Vid done with a bad mic..but shows how it goes from quiet to really loud. I've owned a few catbacks before, and the Corsa really shows why its so expensive.

When I had just the lt's, ory, and corsa it was loud as hell except at idle. I put a cut out in it under the pass seat, and it took the rasp out and made it deep sounding. Just like choco said, with the cutout closed it's real mellow. Since then I've added a cam and that just made it all around louder.

I have the same setup as 91foxcoupe on my WS6, it's fairly quiet inside during low rpm cruising, but opens up and screams nicely when pushed. It's up on LS1sounds too, for a good comparison check out the "'02 WS6 - Hot cam, racing an dumdumdumdum at the track" vid. You can't hear my car at all over the dumdumdumdum w/ 4" exahaust dumped until the tree drops and then all you hear is me.
