So would you consider the corsa's at part throttle to be loud enough to set off car alarms? On my v6 i had flowmasters and just regular driving would set off alarms.

I had Corsa for a year and they do sound good from the outside, the quiet cruise is not something I wanted. I also can't believe I spent so much on them.

It's a muscle car so I should hear a loud and deep GGRRRRRRRRR while driving. Drone (like from stingers or bassani race) is a loud MMMMMMMM sound. Boomtubes have GGRRRRRRRRR.

Boomtubes. Get 'em.

Another vote for the Corsa Sports.....but it kind of depends on your priorities. I wanted a deep throaty exhaust outside while still being able to have a conversation without shouting in cabin. The Corsa's do a fantastic job of this. At cruise and part throttle, I would say the cabin noise is less than the factory exhaust was, but when you get a little more aggressive with the throttle, heads will turn.

I've had GTA's, Corsa Sports and now Corsa Xtremes. I recommend the Xtremes as they're smaller and lighter than the Sports and only a little louder than the Sports.

I like boomtubes and loud mouths , but from what ive read they are practically straight pipes and lose you some low end horsepower and torque.

i've had the boomtubes, and muffler deletes. if you still have the stock manifolds and midpipe, you wont lose low end power. even without the cats, you dont lose much. the sound improvement is well worth it.

The MBRP's i've never heard in person, but the quality is top notch, all polished 304 stainless steel, and from what people say about them there is very little drone. i dont think any muffler is no-drone, there will always be some drone somewhere in the rpm, even the stockers drone a little.

boomtubes definately have a growl to them. i like those a lot.

after the boomtubes, i wanted louder. so i took them off and put on some MBRP muffler deletes and it was too loud and raunchy sounding. so i left on the deletes and added some pypes M80's welded before the rear end. so the complete exhaust is BBK LT's and o/r x pipe, M80's and MBRP muffler deletes.

first the straight pipe setup. this actually sounds badass at WOT, but when it's super loud all the time it get pretty annoying.

now the M80 setup. still loud at WOT, but cruising it is not excessively loud and has deep aggressive tone.

and with the boomtubes. compared to the M80's, i think the volume is just as loud, but with the boomtubes it screams more in the higher rpm's whereas the M80's keep a deeper tone.
