Well what is any better than the exhaust thats on the car now, that isn't stainless steel. So are you trying to tell me the stock exhaust is better than the pacesetter?

Ok you have me convinced. Reading on the sport and touring for corsa's cat-backs ... what is the difference.. price is the same? at gavanatuning (mispelling?)

I looked all over Corsa's site as well as some vendors and I can't seem to find anything about the sound levels but I'm assuming this is really the only difference. As a general rule it seems the "sport" exhausts are louder than the "tourings" (this is also the case with the GMPP).
Wish me luck

Alrite, I found this on http://www.cobalt-addiction.com/performance.htm...hopefully Donna doesn't mind me copying/pasting this in...gave the site a plug see ^^ 
:
"Corsa Sport system have a more aggressive exhaust note/tone than the Corsa Touring systems. The Touring systems are a little deeper in sound, while the Sport systems are slightly more "crisp" or "throaty" sounding."

your stock exhaust is just as prone to the same issues so one is not really better than the other quality wise.
I see you've already made your choice, you went with the most expensive exhaust you could find...not bad

Good to hear that, glad you went with the quality part and not the cheapest, you will not regret it. My GTO is the second car i have had a corsa on, the SS/SC my first and if get another car i will be going back to corsa for some more.

What's shipping like to canada with both companies?
I have had some issues with ordering things from the States to Canada with shipping charges and don't want to get screwed over again. I was once charged a $35 COD for a 40 dollar laptop battery once from UPS.
If anyone from Canada has purchased stuff from either sites could you let me know what shipping was like? In a pm if you want even. THANKS!

the shipping for both to Canada isnt a huge difference but we get raped by the Canadian government (as usual) with duty.

I'm looking into getting an injen intake. I will see if the parts places here have any good ones for a reasonable price. If it's going to cost more for the part here but no COD or shipping charge then great. I figure if shipping is 40 bucks and COD would be around 40 as well I might get one here if it saves me the hastle. I just hate dealing with shipping issues.
Thanks!

The last quotes I got for intakes last summer in the London area I found it was cheaper for me to pick them up here rather than paying the difference on the dollar, duty and shipping. Shop around a bit before you make any decisions...some performance shops practically give the parts away !
