Is it worth it getting a corsa catback?

Poll is close but im starting to lean towards buying a cheaper cat back and using the rest of the money for other mods.

Cheapen out on the sound and look you wanted and you'll regret it forever. You're going from the most refined and unique sounding catback out there that looks hands down the best to the least refined, most basic looking catback out there that sounds horrible with anything but stock manifolds and cats to save money that won't matter to you next year.
Sounds like you'll regret your decision in no time. Instead of spending your money on something you'd love, you'd rather throw it away on something you don't want because it was a good deal. That's like going to buy your dream car, driving to the dealership, then buying a car you don't like because it was on a great sale
Take my advice. You only live once and you're only young once. Don't make a mistake you'll kick yourself for for the rest of your life. You don't want to look back at your younger years regretting your decisions over money that is ultimately useless in the long run.
Don't have the cash? Start saving. The problem with America is everyone wants it NOW NOW NOW! The sun will come up tomorrow. You'll be here. Don't let your impatience or useless money hold you back.
fwiw i only lost 2 rwhp/ 2 rwtq with an closed cutout over my corsa. so it flows damn well. and this is cammed with a very good flowing y pipe. so it makes the power. but it is loud w/ lt's unless u go with a catted y or a bullet in the mid pipe.

Wow
The loudmouth sounds like absolute ****. That's my opinion, and the more you mod your car, the worse it sounds. It sounds like a redneck farm truck. I knew a guy with an '00 Z28, stock manifolds/cats and a loudmouth. It was the worst sounding V8 I've ever heard. That's my opinion.
And because it's cheaper DOES mean it's not as good of a system. That's why Corsa is a lot more money. The Corsa catback is better made, better looking, has more expensive components (muffler and tips are very expensive), comes with a lifetime warranty and is significantly more refined. The Corsa is dead quiet at highway cruise, mellow at normal acceleration and screams at WOT. The Loudmouth is loud all the time because it's a cheap system with no real muffler and nothing to it. You're paying for straight pipe and extremely basic tips.
Some people prefer McDonalds over a gourmet restaurant. You're apprently the guy that'll take a Big Mac over a $100 steak. You may like a Big Mac better, but the steak is still a hell of a lot classier.
I'd say GMmexican should probably go with a Corsa, not a "borlamouth" monstrosity. If he was as interested in that as the Corsa, he probably would have made this post about a borlamouth monstrosity.
Everybody knows what opinions are like...
The price difference between a used LM and a new Corsa is a lot. You can practically get LT's and a y for the difference. The quality of the LM isn't bad either, but people think it's cheap because, well, it's cheap. Since it doesn't include a real muffler and the tips are plain.
LT's, catted y and a LMII sounds great IMO

Corsa is too quiet IMO, the tips look cool tho. Personally I would go with Hooker because its not as obnoxious(sp?) as the LM once cammed. Also I'm pretty sure no one would regret what exhaust they put on their car when they were young for the rest of their life, especially when they saved that much money.
