Flows good, sounds awesome but I'd say the #1 reason you don't see alot of people w/ them is because of cost.

it does cost alot but my advice to you is dont buy a cheap catback because i have noticed the borla, and corsa really fit up in there well and hold up alot better, i bought the hooker catback because it was cheap, and cheap it was nice sounding catback but it isn't as loud as i wanted it to be, it will open up real nice with a set of headers. Now i am taking the hooker off and looking for a new catback out there, I am looking at either getting a borla, magnaflow, or corsa. all of them are very nice exhaust. Plus i drive my car daily and i want a stainless steal catback so that it dont rust, and the car will be on the road for the next few year so i dont want to have to do it agian, just my two cents, it was a newbie mod mistake for me.

I really like my Corsa - they do cost a lot now, got mine in early '01 off a GP for around $625. Still looks brand new. I'd seriously consider the GMMG also.

I' m partial to to Borla, simply because it' s tunable. From a GMHTP article, a recent test was performed on a T/A where some Dynatech LTs were added, and a Borla catback, with a QTEC. On nitrous, the car lost like 8 RWHP with the cutout closed, and like 30 RWTQ. I don' t know if that torque number was accurate, but that' s what they wrote. Anyways, I like the sound of the Borla and the flexability. The only thing I would change would be a larger I-pipe.

Make sure you check out Bassani before you buy a corsa or a Borla.
