I've heard that SLP's Loudmouth's only sound good with stock manifolds, and then it sounds like crap with headers. So I guess this would depend on your plans.

Corsa is expensive -- you'll pay $800-1000 for a catback (depending on which tips you choose). But:
1. It has a nice, mean-sounding-yet-quiet idle and sounds awesome higher in the rev range. Sound clips here.
2. The muffler flows exactly as well as a 3" straight pipe. Who needs a cutout?
3. It comes with a lifetime warranty and AWESOME customer service.
4. It's 100% stainless steel.
5. It's the only catback for ANY GM vehicle which GM actually approves and recommends.

Great post. I just bought mine used with full polished tips for $320
. I feel very fortunate, the guy I bought it from was very cool and already had a corsa on his car. Listening to his LS1 SS with h/c, longtubes and no cats was pure sex, mean as hell at revs with a great tone to it. I have yet to put it on myself but can't wait to. I'm just as excited to put this catback on as I am to put on my heads and cam setup.

Re: Which for for flow and sound
My Corsa has the least resonance of any exhaust I've heard on any car. There is a pretty mild resonance on my car from about 1950 to about 2050 rpm. Basically, if I'm cruising in 6th, I can't go 90. 85 is fine, and 95 is fine, but anywhere from 88-92 resonates. It probably wouldn't bother most people -- the radio is more than enough to drown it out, and who cruises at 90 anyway?
From what I hear, LMII probably has the most, but I've not heard one in person so I'm not sure.
