Default Corsa- should I?

Hey guys. I have Pacesetter lt's, ory, and LM1 and was going to put a powerstick in the I-pipe or even put a dual/dual on but I have the chance to buy a full Corsa cb for $500. I haven't heard an f-body Corsa in person ever so I'm wanting some opinions. Should I get it or save the $?

The Corsa will still be loud. I think they look and sound great. For $500 that's a great deal.

Go for it! If you don't like it you can always re-sale it. $500 is a pretty good deal.

Corsa is only loud when you get on it, its insanely quiet at cruise. I loved the Corsa I had, and that was even with LT's and an ORY. I say do it.

As long as there are no broken baffles in the muffler, thats a good deal. If it has tips thats a killer deal.

Corsa sound awesome. I love mine!

I love my GMMG but thats the most expensive catback made for an Fbody, like $1200. I dont know how they sound, I heard very good. 304 stainless & they come with sweet exhaust tips too. Thats a good deal if its in good shape.

Nope, just bolt ons. I can imagine it'd be a lot louder with a cam but not unbearable considering how quiet it was cruising.

Didn't think of that. That's why mine isn't on the car any more, still have the muffler but if you shake it hard enough it rattles....pisses me off.

Well my buddy saw the Corsa and he said there was a cut in the over-the-axle part of the I-pipe and there was a cut-out welded in also so I'm passing on that one. I'm going to throw my CME on the LM1 and an xr1 like Detoxx's older set-up. Thanks anyways guys!

I don't want one that's been hacked up. I'll stock with my uncut (for now) loudmouth.
