Both of them look AWESOME on the CTS, but I'd rather go with the Corsa exhaust. :bouncy:
Just my 2 cents....

I'm almost positive that Vogue's dual exhaust is for the 3.2L only. Plus, I wouldn't waste my money on anything Vogue, but that's just my 3 cents (inflation, you know.)

i like everthing about corsa's exhaust except for the dual tip and need for cutting my bumper
:yawn: The system that Vogue Tyre sells is made by Billy Boat Performance Exhaust in Phoenix, AZ. Their web site is: http://www.bbexhaust.com. They make about about six different systems for the CTS, 3.2L, 3.6L. The systems for the five speed vs. automatic are different, make sure you specify. The average price for a complete cat-back dual performance system is $1195, plus shipping. I purchased a closed out system off eBay, it came from Vogue Tyre, listed by an individual, (an employee?) about a month ago. I got it at a wonderful price and didn't know what to expect.
What I got was beyond my expectations. A complete straight through dual systems to include all parts, pieces, etc., to complete the job. The system is ALL polished stainless steel. BEAUTIFUL.
I was going to take it to a local muffler shop, but decided to tackle the job my self. My 2003 CTS w/3.2L had the single exhaust. Four bolts to remove it, about 10 minutes. The replacement system went on PERFECTLY. I had to cut one mid pipe to make sure the tip length out the rear was the same. Biggest challenge was to cut the rear bumper cover like the left size. Made a template, no problem. System looks like a million bucks and sound even better. This is my wife's car and she's unhappy with beefier sound. Too bad!
If Corsa makes a better system than this, I'd like to see it. I prefer the large single oval tips vs. the quad tips. If anyone is thinking of a performance exhaust, consider this system.:coolgleam
I just ordered a Corsa exhaust system last week. I really like the look of the quad exhaust tips. Should be in and installed in about a week.
I looked into the B&B system as well but thought the look wasn't as nice and the sound wasn't that impressive. HP gains were about the same, maybe a little more for the B&B. Price was $200 less for the Corsa.
I haven't found anyone that has either system for the 3.6L so I am going with the Corsa strictly on my own personal opinions. We'll see how it goes.
