There are many good choices, some better than others - you need to tell us your budget.

I had the corsa catback on my 2000 T/A with 3.5 tips. Give a price range!
I would suggest KOOKS headers and catted Y-pipe, they tapper the end of the Y pipe but you have to cut it off anyways because the longer mid pipe that comes with the corsa.

I would not do an ORY because the corsa will sound like crap esp on deceleration - after i bought a catted Y pipe it really cleaned up the sound!

Another vote for the Kooks, that's what I want. Definitely do NOT get an ORY, they sound like crap. If you're willing to sell your Corsa, true duals would be a good choice.

Going against the grain but I have kooks with their ORY and corsa catback and I think it sounds monstrous. Exhaust notes are like girlfriends though, everyone has their own likes and dislikes in them. Either way you can't go wrong bc they are quality companies.
