Well I am now in the market for an exhaust. Im not sure which one I like yet but Im looking for the most gains across the board. B&B with X Pipe? Please give me your opinions. BTW My setup MAX will be intake exhaust and Stealth V tune. Nothing more.
About to buy an exhaust. Just want some comments.

Corsa is nice, decent price, excellent workmanship. Some have tried others...see the faq on exhausts, should help you out a bit. A lot of the answer lies on what you do with your V...it is a daily driver? can you stand exhaust drone? etc, etc. I went with the Corsa due to the fact that I live nearby and can take it back if I have issues (I never used any of their products prior) and the fact that there is NO drone at highway speeds. I use mine for sales and almost exclusively on highway roads. Like I said, check the faq and you can fill in a lot of the gaps I have left.

Well I'm not 100% sure on this, but the B&B with X pipe is prob the best for HP gain, but you will have a drone in a very narrow rpm area. Pretty easy to get around with just a gear change, but some are more sensitive to it than others. (heck it doesnt bother my wife at all, nor me) If I had it to do again, it would be exactly the same except I might even leave the cones out of the pipes. 
Otherwise, I have no idea. Ive seen conflicting numbers on Corsa of no gain and then some that state 10hp gain. Maybe some of the owners of the other exhausts can chime in.

Of course I'm biased...Zoomers is the way to go.

In all honesty, I highly doubt that one exhaust system is going to see any significant gains that the other systems will not. What I mean is, while one system may yield a higher HP/torque number, it certainly wouldn't be anything that you would probably even notice.04CTSVFLA said:
Like I said in the other thread, I've seen Zoomers dyno results on an SRT-8 that yielded upwards of 20 ft lbs of torque (which is huge IMHO), but I'm certain that other exhaust manufacturers would recognize some gains as well, yielding the net difference to be somewhat negligible.
While I, like many others on this forum, put performance very high on their hit list, I'd honestly not consider that here too much, as I'm certain that they will all yield some results and be within arms reach of one another.
Honing in on drone, sound, fit of the system, price, etc. would probably be a wise choice here in my mind.
I saw/heard a BORLA setup on a V that was going in for a maggie.rand49er said:
It sounded bitchin.
Looked like a couple of coffee cans sticking out of the rear.
HUGE!
I almost went looking to get rid of my CORSA, but I am real happy with the CORSA.:thumbsup:

I have the b&b w/o the x-pipe. I haven't heard one with an x-pipe. i just didn't want my car to sound like a z28 or a z71, just a smooth sound. Descent hp gain, probably more w/ x pipe though.
