Magnex are too expensive.

I have a Piper one, wasnt bad on its own, but now has stainless system its even better.

Rage are supposed to be ok, Powerflow will do back box only for about £120 get it exactly how you want it.

Got a magnex oval on mine!
Janspeed sound a bit louder though!
Don't like the sound of rage personally as they rasp, i prefer a roar!

Rage = Loudest and looks nicest
Remus Titanium = Looks gorgeous but aint available yet!
Janspeed = Loudest non raspy
Magnex = Look and sound really good (my choice)
Piper = Look and sound really good
Peco stainless = Best value!

Hav a look what other corsa's around your area have got and go down the list until you find one no-one else has got!

my car came with a BB$ on std system, and to be honest it isnt much louder than std, when hot it has quite a deep burble, but the rest of the time its really quiet.
