What was that? I couldn't hear you?

I currently have Corsa's on my 94. Also have a full 3" B&B in storage to replace the Corsa. To me the Corsa is just not a bullish as I'd like it to be. Still sounds good, I'm just looking for a deeper tone. Heard a Z at BG last year that had B&B and it gave me chills! Like others have said, it's purely subjective. I've lost enough hearing over the years that I don't think a little drone will bother me much. Had GHL'S on my C5. Others said it droned somewhat but I couldn't tell.

Look forward to your install of the B&B to see what you think of the them versus the Corsa....

Since you don't heave headers, there might not be too much "DRONE".

Great comparison though!!!

If you are looking at Corsa's make sure you get in a car with them and listen to the sounds outside the car too. This is were they fail for me...too tinny sounding.

I also have QTP exhaust cut-outs and based upon new reading, I think I would like to retain those, pull the B&B and put in a LT4 system. Heck I could even cut my tips off my B&B if I wanted that look.

That way I have the best of both worlds quiet at cruise and radical when I want to open the cutouts.

If I was in the market for a new exhaust that is the route I would go. If I didn't already have my QTP's I would do it like Tony D did.

As many know I also have the QTP cutouts with the stock system. As a result I can have the full range from stock quiet to full headers, no cats open with the push of a button (I substituted a rocker switch hidden under the carpet for the QTP supplied toggle--could not work the toggle where Marc placed it.) It would be nice to position the cutouts so as not to lose the tire carrier. I am talking with Marc about that now.--Bob

Planning on SW headers to go along with the B&B install this summer. We will talk soon David!

Totally agree. I have had the B&B, (below), for about fifteen years, and have learned to live with the drone.
I value Marc's advice, but I don't see how the Corsas could flow as well as the 3" B&B, seeing as it's only a 2 3/4" system.
The nastiest possible version is my "Friday Night" version, (the dragstrip is only 15 minutes away), headers, no cats, 3" system all the way back, Xpipe, with the mufflers pulled off, (less weight=.05e.t.+2mph.). It gives a hellacious shriek that will melt your brain.

The car I just bought last Saturday came with B&B. The sound is very deep and sounds amazing inside and outside the car. There are certain rpm's/load that the drone will pressurize your brain. My wife didn't complain but I did see her cover her ears when the drone is at its worse. If someone wants pure evil for their car, I would consider trading for a quieter system.

Corsa is 2.5 actually...

I put a Corsa on my stock Z and it had great sound at idle no drone when cruising and loud when you got on it. Now I have SW headers, no cats, other mods and the Corsa. My neighbor says he can hear me from a mile away when I get on it. Cruising is not too bad though. After getting a ride in a Z with B&B when I got home I started talking to my wife and the first thing she said was "Why are you shouting."
