Love My Corsa!
Straight through flow and nice in the cab.
I'm a hot rod of old. But now @ 51 years I like the quiet side of the leather interior while listening to XM radio. The hot rod part is my Radix and I feel the Corsa complements it nicely.
I looked at lots of cat backs and lost my shorts on a promised "Quietest Accessories Cat Back On The Market" from Gibson. The Corsa is the only one that pushes the in cab comfort, so I gambled and it paid off as far as I am concerned.
To each his own. I know lots of folks like to hear the results of their mods as they drive.

I'm looking for something with as little drone as possible because when I put the 4:10's in I will be spinning a little higher RPM at cruise speed. I don't feel like yelling over the exhaust drone to the person next to me. I like it to sound stock at idle as well (until the cam 
). At WOT I don't care how loud it is.

I just got a Magnaflow 12249 and 12588 welded in series with each other. Quieter than stock, absolutely no resonance. Now I can hear all the little noises like wind and tires that I couldn't hear with the Flowmaster 70 Series installed (itself a very quiet muffler). About all I can hear now is the blower. Very nice, with the assurance that there is zero restriction on the exhaust now. Highly recommended.

. I know the corsa cost more but if you are looking for an enjoyable drive It gets my vote hands down! Mine didn't get loud until I installed the Headers and took off the cats. But you almost forget its there until you stand on the old loud peddle!
