Default Exhaust questions

I’m looking for an exhaust that will give me that tough sound but will not cause the dreaded “drone” everyone is all ways talking about. I have narrowed it down to these. 3
1) Borla adjustable cat back
2) Corca 3” cat back
3) B&B tri-flo
I don’t want it to be to the point that a conversation can’t be had but I like knowing I have some power under the hood

thanks guys <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I think maybe the SLP dual dual exhaust might be the right one. I have the CME exhaust tips but they use the same cat back exhaust. At higher rpm's the car is loud, and at low rpms its quiet enough for your conversations.

I have the GMMG chamebered exhaust. A bit pricey but thres is NO drone. NOne. Zip. NAda. I love the deep sound it gives. I compare it to the loudmouth but no rasp or drone. Just a tad bit less loud. Reallt a great catback. Let me know if you have any questions.

Everyone has their favorite (usually what they are running on their own cars). I have a Corsa and I love the sound and the look of the quad tips. The Borla sounds nice wide open but I wanted something even louder that I could control like with the electric cut out. It didn't make sense to me to have a Borla AND a cut out. Basically it all came down to looks for me between Corsa, Borla, and GMMG Chambered exhausts. Thay are all excellent and I knew I wouldn't be dissappionted with sound/performance from any of them. So, the tips sold me on Corsa.
