So you want a loss of power with the cutout closed? Engines need back pressure...

You are thinking of the Borla adjustable. It has a couple of plates that come with it to adjust how wide open it is, but yeah it's basically a giant cutout. I think the slp kits have about as much backpressure, and that's not much, considering it's a hollow can. Corsa is real nice on stock manifolds, but I've heard a few cars with LTs that sounds like with that. Too much rasp.

I've heard them on youtube, they are very raspy and loud with LT's and ORY but if you were to weld a bullet or twister in the I-pipe it sounds 10 times better it takes away some of the rasp.

I'm not sure about the fitment, but again, LOUD and extra raspy is the theme here. The corsa actually has LESS rasp than the loudmouth does with LTs.
