Default B&B or Corsa

My best friend needs some helping in choosing one of the two. He wants a smooth refined deep rumble and when you get on it it wakes p and has a little growl. BTW he drives 01 GMC C3 with 22's.

b&b makes one for that truck but i'm not sure corsa does. If corsa makes an exhaust for the c3 go with it but I don't think you're going wrong with b&b.

Both are nice kits but cost an arm and a leg!

I have heard a B&B on a C5 as well as a Corsa touring on a C5 the Corsa sounded a bit smoother and deeper, the B&B was louder and sounded almost chambered.

Ever considered a custom setup Magnaflow?

My friend is kinda leaving it in my hands to find the best system. I knew you guys would have some info and maybe first hand experiance with these systems. I have went to both webistes and at idle the corsa sounds very tiny and raspy! But under full throttle sounds amazing. The B&B had the best all around tone after watching movies and soundclips. So whats do you guys think suits him best for the reuqiremenst in the 1st post? He is going to be adding a sc in a few months if that should be factored.

No way, the Corsa sounds good. You need to go listen to then with your own ears, not thorugh a computer. Either should support a S/C fine, I'd invest in some headers first as most cat-back systems don't yield too much power.

I'm going to have to say Magnaflow. :p It's got a quiet rumble at idle that gets better the more miles you put on it. It really wakes up at WOT though with a nice refined sound. Another thing is that the magnaflow systems are all stainless and priced very nicely.

I use to have a B&B on my '00 SS Camaro and it was nice at idle but, had kind of a raspy/fartcan type sound at WOT. I know that might not translate to the trucks but, that's my only experience with B&B.

The only thing is thathe doesnt want any catback that has reaer exitying exhaust. The B&b and corsa are the only two exhaust i have seen with the side exhaust chrome tips that look good. Thats the only reason I havent suggested magnaflow to him.

Are you looking for just a bolt on kit or what?

Mangaflow offers a DI/SO for the 6.0 trucks with the true duals from the factory...which that C3 should have. It is a side exit too. Look for the 2500, 2500HD ones as the C3 is an extcab short bed right?
