Started with flowmaster ( no idea why) hated it. Went to lm1, liked it till I got lt's and heads and all that stuff and hated it. Now I have Corsa and I LOVE it! I'm not a big fan of Borla, I think it sounds goofy.

You're going to regret getting rid of those duals. Instead of sounding like a roar its gonna sound like a kittens purr when you put on a catback. I have duals with longtubes and have no ground clearence issues at all. I would go to an exhaust shop and get the duals tucked up better and save some money instead of dumping 800 bucks in a catback.

Borla pn#14464, was my very first bolt on mods way back in 1995. Has it's own distinct sound, even when the car was mostly stock. If I were to put a cat-back exhaust again, I'd get the same Borla system, no doubt.

All I can say is I own a Corsa, Had it on my LT1 383 which I loved so much I xfer'ed to my LS1 and I get nothing but compliments.

As for price, you need to really search. Sam Taylor Buick and Caddy had the lowest prices at the time when I was buying, JEGS had the 2nd.

even if you spent about the same amount of money i think it would be worth it. After running mine for about a year evertime i hear a car with a catback it just sounds

I think "Cat-Back" choice is a like choosing rims, everyone likes something different on different things.

True Duals on my 70 CHevelle w/ an H pipe sounded wicked w/ FLowmaster Delta Flow 40 Series mufflers.

On my T/A or old Camaro, I do care about ground clearance and the ablility to work on the car. My old exhaust was ALL welded, OMG that was a ***** **** to work on.
