from what ive heard, Corsa makes some excellent cat-backs. the main reason you wont find TOO many people with them is their fat price tag.

as far as installation, if your doing it yourself in a garage w/o a lift, it will take a little longer, but deffinatly do-able. i just put my SLP loudmouth on last week in my garage. the hardest part will be the part that goes over the rear axle to fit through. but thats true with any exhaust. most kits, like mine, are ALL bolt on. no welding required or anything. my kit used the factory places for the hangers. i took my time and stopped once for lunch, and had mine on in a day. but if you really hauled or had somone helping, you could do it faster.

air tools are a plus! (which i did not have btw)

Personally, I think Corsa catbacks look great, but aren't worth paying more than a Borla. Similar catbacks will flow just as well and perform just as good for half the cost.

I think you're just paying for the tips...

Coarsa may be the best (14hp) but they are very expensive. You could definitly benifite more by going with other systems in the 300-400 range and spending the money elsewhere I went with Flowmaster american thunder $254 shipped I am happy with it.But if you got the money get the best

It took me about an hour with a lift to do my exhaust. Just one tip make sure yuor tips are even in the back and everything looks nice just how you want it before you crank the clamps down or it will be hell to ajust afterwards
