I like my hooker. haha it flows very well and sounds very good with my set up. If I was just doing an exhaust syetem I would say get the corsa.

I vote Hooker.
Sounds good with long tubes and no cats. Really comes to life once you get into the throttle. I personally chose hooker b/c it was one of the quiter cat backs that flows pretty decent. Its really about preference and what you want.

I had the Hooker catback on my previous car and I liked it so much I got it again when I purchased exhaust for my current car. I have always had it with longtubes and an ORY though, so it's plenty loud enough for me......even louder with a cam.

Is it just the sound quality of the video or does the Corsa really rasp that badly?

I've never had any raspyness with my car. I'm running LT's/ORY/Corsa and I love it. The only potentially harsh part of it is how loud it gets at high RPM's, but that's how I want it. The only bad thing about Corsa is the price, its worth it though.

My buddy and I both have '02 Red WS6 Convertible M6 TransAms. Exact same car (except mine has the CD Changer).

I have a Corsa (premium) and he's got the Hooker.

I personally love the Corsa and would choose it any day! He chose the Hooker because of $$$.

It comes down to what you want (the poll is close to 50/50...but Corsa's still winning...hahahaha!) I would chose the Corsa, but the Hooker is a Really nice system as well....especially for the price.

This is a hard one. I have Corsa, and my buddy has Hooker. My car is LOUD with LT's ORY. His car remains more civil on the decibel level. Corsa is SS. Hooker is painted muffler and mild steel piping. Corsa is lighter. Corsa has nice tips, but you can get nice tips for the hooker wihtout going over $ for the corsa.
I voted Corsa, but if I needed a new catback, I could get a hooker...

*so much talk about hookers, drives me crazy*

Yeah, Corsa is ignorantly loud. There's no argument with that. My buddy has Hooker on his car, with LT's/ORY. It's nice, but it's too tame at idle for me. I want something that's gonna shake some nuts at idle. That's just me though. That said, Hooker is a nice, deep very smooth sound. If it was a tiny bit louder, it'd be perfect.

if you are ever going to do headers, orp and a cam, get the hooker.
its still loud be not crazy loud.

also for all that money the corsa costs, the mufflers have been known to fall off.
