Yeah but I live in an area where I would bet money that 80% of the time the cop's would rather A. Pull over the ricer trying to catch me. or B. Pull me over just to hear it again =) if worse comes to worse ill just put the stock ones back sell them and grab a different kind but I need to give it a try. Also i hear the stingers are controable as in if I just kind pussyfoot it if I see a cop its not gonna sound like a harley unless I start givin it some =) but only time will tell.

just fyi, i've read that bbk shorty headers will deepen the sound without making them really louder (i'm considering getting the shorties for that reason)

The stingers arnt that bad at all! I have been running Macs for the past year and a half and those drone much worse. I still never notice the drone.....it doesnt bother me at all. I picked up some stingers for cheap b/c I was going to go o/r with them....tried them out with the stock H really quiet......I noticed no drone. I guess my idea of loud is different then most considering Im 19. But yeah to answer your question I would get Corsas....considering it sounds like you hate any drone.

I like my magnapacks, there is drone but I consider it to be bearable. I'll upload a clip for ya, they are not too loud once the car warms up but I love the sound.
Drone got worse with my maganpacks when I added an O/R prochamber.

I've had my stingers for 8 months now. Sure it drones between 1700 and 1900, but it doesn't bother me - I'm not usually in that zone as I like keeping my revs above 2000 rpms anyway. I have even purposely driven in the "drone" zone to see what everybody is complainig about. Still, I don't get it.

So I guess I'm the only one who gets Stinger drone from pretty much anything above idle up through 2k rpm. Sure it is by far loudest at 1900-2000 rpm. But it is still pretty damn droney anywhere below 2k rpm under light or moderate acceleration.
