DOC, how must louder is your GMPP exhaust? I want to notice that I have an exhaust at idle and at WOT, but I do not want to be tired out or pulled over. For reference I had an IROC with a flowmaster 80 series, and that was just fine volume wise. Thanks.

Its louder inside and outside. I think it sounds louder inside....It's not godawful loud, it is noticeable though. I'll try setting up the camera and making a pass going in different rpm's/speeds. I think its going to rain tonight/tomorrow so I'll see what I can do.

Magnaflow is the best bang for the buck. The GM catback isnt any cheaper because after you add the price for the tip, its $480. I got my magnaflow for 480 shipped.

Is any sort of O2 Simulator needed with the magnaflow system? Is anyone throwing any type of CEL with a aftermarket exhast? I just want to stay away from CELs as much as possible, thats why i ordered the injen intake because it seems only a selcect few are throwing codes.

Correction

Magnaflow may use 2.5" on SS/SC Exhaust but on the 2.2L it is 2.25".
All Corsa exhausts use 2.5" and also on the SS/SC they claim 12 HP where Magnaflow claims only 7HP.

couple of questions for anyone that might know the answer....

Ive been looking through the other threads to see what the the difference between the sport exhaust is compared to the touring? can't seem to find anything. Anyone know where to find it or know what the difference is?

I want to make a delete pipe for the cat and was wanting to know If anyone has deleted the cat. And is there an o2 simulator or are you driving around with an cel? thanks

Well for Corsa, the sport is not very loud (still more than stock) and the Touring has more of a tone to it.

That is complete bullshit. Under any kind of load the Corsa sport system is much louder than the stock exhaust ever was. I can't comment on how the touring system compares to stock or the sport because I have never heard it.

But you can take it to the bank, the Corsa sport system is significantly louder than stock.

Sorry, you are right, the sport is more aggressive, i posted it backwards. Touring is slightly louder over stock, and the sport has a nice aggressive tone to it. Thanks for the catch!

Hmmmmm, the only thing I know for sure is I don't want the Corsa. A longer clip of the GMPP exhaust would be nice because just from what's in this thread, I think that sounds head and shoulders better than the rest of them with Magnaflow in a close 2nd. Gains would be nice to know as well, I saw the ones for Magnaflow, but not GMPP or Borla.

honestly i can't believe you all are paying $500 for a cat-back. Has anyone here everyt hought of going a custom route? You can get it done for a few hundred less, make the same power and get the sound that you want.
