nothing compliments a T/A better than those corsa tips and nothing else sounds like a corsa - i mean, no one really has one. be unique! stand out from the crowd.

Whaaaaaa? now the loudmouth has some rasp. magnaflow is awesome with LTs and ORY . whether it is at idle or cruise or WOT, it is SWEETTT heres a video of it on my car at idle, WOT and cruise in 5th and 6th gear
I dont have to feel bad about coming home at 3am either..

I have the Magnaflow and don't much like the sound anymore, too mellow. But, I'm getting full length headers soon and I've heard Magnaflow with them and really like the sound. It will have a little rasp to it. If I wasn't getting headers I would get the Corsa. I don't like the sound of headers and the Corsa, too raspy.

Oh yes. It definitely does pick up some noise with LTs.

I just ordered my corsa a few hours ago for $619.99 with free shipping. Is that a good deal? I thought it seemed a little cheaper than some other sites I looked at.
