Hi all, I'm close to choosing my catback, I have read every thread and watched every video but are still torn between three cat backs. I want a nice muscle car note, not loud, not droney. I'm torn between
Borla Touring
Corsa Sport
ARH with H pipe...

Has anyone not liked one of the above? Anyone had more than one of them? It's so hard to tell without hearing them in person as two YouTube videos of the same exhaust can sound different......arrrrghhhh

Get the ARH (like me :D) OZDAZ. (and obviously order from Lethal Performance)

Corsa Sport seems farty to me (from videos).

I'm just wondering if the Corsa may sound more exotic, which I don't mind. I'm happy with an Austin Martin sound lol.

This is solely my opinion...

Corsa Xtreme sounds great for sure, BUT... it is a 100% defect notice magnet, and in Sydney we would be pulled over for sure. Way too loud. It's like 20dB over the legal limit.

Corsa Sport just doesn't have that bite IMO.

Not sure how things are in Perth though :D

[ame]

The ARH is just the right muscle car low profile rumble to me. Good deep tone. No drone and you won't get defected.

Police in Perth aren't overly obliging of loud exhausts lol. Yeah I'm putting the ARH at the top, I wasn't sure if the ARH was a bit quieter than the Corsa sport or not? Hard to tell. I'm also quite impressed with the Borla Touring. I had Borla AB in my 2014 SRT Jeep.....sounded noice. The ARH definitely has a nice deep note about it though.

Well I can only speak personally about the ARH (as it's in my living room), quality looks excellent to me. But the Corsa looks great too, just way too loud for a daily driver for my tastes. Don't wanna be the pariah of my street lol

It's like wheels, exhausts are totally a personal preference. Go for what you like I say :thumbsup:

Personally the ARH fits my build, which is a low profile cruiser. Everything is dark and black too. Aftermarket wheels included. Wouldn't make sense if I went Corsa lol :lol:

PS: Perth dB rating for cars is 90dB. Same as Sydney. But if the cops don't care, I guess go for whatever you like :)

If 90dB is your limit, any of those exhausts will be fine. Corsa is only loud on cold-starts. I have it on mine and it's so ridiculously quiet while cruising, it's borderline annoying. You can make it loud if you press down on the gas pedal, but if you're not driving like an ass, you'll barely hear it. Just my 2 cents :)

I had the ARH and it was great! It has nice rumble, quieter than most systems I've heard but deep muscle car sound and when you step on it you know it's there. No drone either.

Only reason I changed my setup is that I wanted louder. Unfortunately it usually takes me 3 exhaust setups to find what I really like.
