Default Corsa or GMMG

I have been kinda debating on going with Corsa or GMMG cat-back on my 02 ws6 and I wanted some feedback.

Ive had a Corsa catback exhaust on my car for a litle over 3 years and could be more pleased. You do have to polish the tips but just takes 10 minutes or so, no big deal and I only do mine once every month or two. I have never seen anyone with GMMG and Im sure they are good exhaust but I was afraid it would be to loud because I dont have cats converters on my car.

I think both of these have very distinct sounds. My advice is to listen to as many sound clips as possible before deciding. I think the gmmg oval tips would look good on your ws6 though.

I love the sound of my GMMG. As far as the premium tips, they would look better with a rolled edge. For what you pay they aren't worth it. If I can find some Corsa sized clones I'm going to ditch my GMMG premiums.

GMMG is great with stock manifolds. It is a challenge to make it sound good with LT's because it becomes extremely loud and raspy.

I would disagree. I have had nothing but, compliments. With cats it sounds nice and deep. I was surprised at how even though it is louder, it was very comfortable inside. I was afraid it would be too loud. I have HEARD that it is too raspy without cats though. Regardless, it's all personal choice.

That's what I meant by saying it's a challenge to make it sound good with LT's. I started with ORY and it was horrible. Cats really helped. But I didn't achieve perfect sound until I added a powerpack in the I and Hooker resonator tips.

sound GMMG

Tips/looks - Corsa. The way the corsa tips look on a ws6 is second to none.

This is a tuff choice. I say GMMG with corsa knock off tips

^ Rims look good buddy. I just put corsa on my car with an 2.5 ory w/ gutted cats and it sounds mean as hell compared to magnaflow. Perfect loudness and great tone with no rasp at all except at cold start ups.
