Okay I am looking for a new exhaust for my 04 CTS-V, what all is out there and how much did you pay for the exhaust system, and if you know what kind of gains did you get from your exhaust ????
corsa.... quiet rumble and deep when you are on it... nice mix...
I think I paid like $1100 from corsa direct... dealer sells them for $1000
i think as an aftermarket option... CORSA is also WARRANTIED by GM!!!!
BIG BONUS!!!!
But the deal might be over. give them a call and ask for JOSH. See if he can hook you up! I LOVE IT.......it screams nicely at redline and it only took me 2 hours to install!
I got the B&B because I loved it at first hear. I bought it direct from www.bbexhaust.com for $925. The sound is great, the build quality is great, the customer service has had a few problems as of late for the header guys. But for catback only, it's a great system.
Hey, you beat me! I just ordered it for $620 shipped. (www.hottexhaust.com) Coming Friday. The sound files seem good, tips and design looks good, and it is stainless like the others so why spend the extra $$? Also heard there is little or no resonance.

Corsa, because the sound is "subtle" inside (no resonance or harshness), but mellow "hot rod" outside.Quality is top notch. Sound really matches the car.
and the winner is CORSA by a long shot. i have put this system on 3 of my vehicles 02' WS6 TA, 04' Escalade, 04' CTS-V and everyone fit like a glove. oh btw corsa backs there product up.
The 3" should flow better, especially if you have headers and forced induction. Probably not as much of an issue on a stock motor and cat back only.
The 3" is why I bought mine, supposed to be here Fri. Must have been back ordered or something as I ordered them prior to even buying the car. I think the price was $865 direct. The qoute about Billy trying means a lot to me. No one has never not made a mistake. The prople that admit it and take steps to fix their mistakes are a notch above the people that mearly try to cover up their mistakes.
In your opinion, maybe ...... but my Corsa is perfect for my needs, subtle when you want it to be, nasty (but refined) when you want it to be. To each his own, I guess ..... isn't it great that we have so many options?

I agree, only opinion. It was more in response to the comment that the Corsa was a CLEAR winner, in which I totally disagree with.
What I've observed is the Corsa is great for those who want a stock fit and peace of mind with regards to issues and the dreaded Cadillac service manager. And many prefer the quiet nature. And many prefer the tone to B&B.
I've observed the B&B to be equal to the Corsa in build quality. I find more people like the tone of the B&B but fewer want to live with the constant rumble. I find the exhaust easy to live with, subdued on the highway and much more livable than many think. The drone is there but is lessened after a few days of use. The drone is not an issue to me because it is so much quieter than at first install and keeping it out of 1600-1900 is second nature now. People may have complained about the headers and gaskets but for the catback only, it's easy to live with. And if you can turn a wrench, it's no problem.
As for Magnaflow or Borla, all personal opinion on sound. Seems they each have their following. As far as I'm concerned, V owners are winners for having a variety of choices, each with some good and not so good. As far as I'm concerned the B&B is the clear winner.
"What I've observed is the Corsa is great for those who want a stock fit and peace of mind with regards to issues and the dreaded Cadillac service manager. And many prefer the quiet nature."
These are the exact reasons I got the Corsa and I am very happy with the sound etc. I installed it myself and everything fit perfect. As far as performance goes, I have never actually tested it in terms of HP gains. I paid $1,065.00 shipped to my door.
corsa...its the only one the dealer cant screw you on, yet....someone said corsa mated to billy headers..is that the way to go...if so what kind of adapter do i need...:stirpot:
