Well, that's all a matter of opinion and money. I like the sound of the Corsa or magnaflow personally. Granted I've got a crappy Flowmaster on right now, it should be coming off in a couple of weeks for something new. Hooker doesn't sound bad and flows pretty well from what I hear. Also, I've seen people running the bullets which don't sound half bad. Sounds alot like the LM in my opinion. It's just all up to you.

Buy the Corsa system and you will be completely satisfied as I am.Too many people try to save money on exhaust and wind up changing exhaust 3 or 4 times trying to get f-body sound and they spend more money doing that when they add it all up and their still not satisfied.

Very true. The corsa is the only thing I've heard that gives the truck the sound of an f-body unless your running something besides stock manifolds and cats.

Just look around for a good price. I paid 480.00 shipped for mine(side exit w/ pro series 4" tips). Its not quiet. Granted it's not going to be loud like true duals. It sounds just like the website. I would vote Corsa and Magnaflow for the top 2. I was going to get a magnaflow, but I found to good of a deal on my Corsa. Customer service and a lifetime warranty is unbeatable. Hope this helps.

check out the link on LS1sounds under the corsa section of the SS truck with the LT's and Corsa. it's a sick truck especially considering that there's a C5-R 427 under the hood too.

Exactly, my 2001 SS had a loudmouth and I loved the sound of it outside but hated it inside. When I describe my Corsa I call it a LM without the drone, it sounds awesome outside the truck.

Default I Love My Touring Corsa

It's a bit mellow in comparison than the Sport but not by much and I get lots of complemets on the sound when I romp on it. I have the single side exit. I have heard the Sport dual rear exit and it is a different sound, a raspy, poppy type. I would suggest the side exit in both configurations. If you go to a GM dealer you may see some trucks on the lot the dealer dressed up with large wheels and a Corsa. This is where I got to experiance the Corsa hands on. I have never seen a Touring on the lot though.
Ebay has some good deals. $650.00 shipped is the best you will find. Be sure and get the right part number.
If you are not going to trade the vehicle it is worth the money. Not if you are going to trade it any time soon.
