Corsa vs. slp looking for a catback system and i do plan on getting longtubes and high-flow cats. What would you guys think would sound the meanest but still clean, and overall appeal the loudmouth or corsa?

Loudmouth will sound wicked mean (I love my setup), but it's also pretty raspy. Corsa has a great rep for sound and quality and I was thinking about getting corsa. The reason I bought LM comes down to this. I bought exhaust for performance, so obviously I want the best flowing exhaust (not including true duals). Anything without a muffler (LM) is going to flow better than something with a muffler (corsa), so why pay over double for an exhaust that isn't going to perform as well?

Corsa will fit your bill. LM gets obnoxiously loud the more mods you do, especially if you don't have cats. Corsa is up there in terms of best flowing catbacks too. Just look through the muffler when you get it

I've heard a lot about how the LM gets really raspy when you go with headers. But i don't know from personal experience. I have a LM but no other exhaust mods. I love it. A really loud aggressive tone to it. It's also pretty cheap, I got it from LMPerformance for $377 shipped. The Corsa is gonna cost you a lot more. But listen to them both. Pick the one you like better.

LM is for RedNECKs. If you ask me haha. Corsa IS a sweet exhaust. Quiet when crusing. AND Screaming when you get it on. As for Performance i dout there is Much differ at all between the 2. You paid $377 for your exhaust. For $170 more you could have had Corsa. AS for APPEAL CORSA all the way. I have allways thoguht you paid for SOUND QUALITY when it comes to exhaust. One of the reasons it coast $600 or More
95% of people can't stand a LM system with header and cat changes from stock. The Corsa is also going to be very loud with those upgrades, but it will still have a tuned sound to it.
If you like the loudmouth you really ought to just get a cut-out.
You may be ok with both but if you are at all gunshy about it being too loud, I'd stick with the Corsa, if not a quieter system.

I love my corsa exhaust. Absolutly no rasp whats so ever. You can hardly tell there is an exhaust on the car unless your abouve 2k or into the throttle. I only draw attention to myself when I get into it. You wont be dissapointed if you go the corsa route
I use Corsa, no issues, love the interior noise which is near nothing. Awesome sound and I get alot of compliments.
I drove in a c5 w/ a LM1 and a MS4 cam, it popped and farted and shitted all the way down the road, and I could only talk to my passanger at stop lights....
