So how many of each have you owned? Heard first hand? How about at the track at a full scream?
My opinion about the Mopar (which is better since I have over 20,000 miles with one installed) is that it is lower pitch and throatier than the Corsa, but has periods of resonance which can be annoying, especially with a hard top or coupe. I do like the tenor of the Corsa, but would not pay the difference myself.

I've owned several and spent too much time experimenting on exhausts. I've owned the Borla, B&B and Belanger catbacks along with a combination of Borla/Belander headers and RT cats. The Borla to me sounded like bad flatulence and lots of drone. Even in an RT/10 it was too much for me. Tried switching cats and different headers but I found that bigger headers and higher flow cats only made the flatulence louder. My neighbor has the Corsa and it does sound really good but too raspy for me in the high end. I also tried the B&B catback but after spending a lot of time listening to fellow VCA member's Belanger setups I decided to go with Belanger and I'm glad I did. But everyone's ear for exhaust sound is different. What may sound like flatulence to me is music to some people's ears.
Juice: If you're looking for a low-cost alternative, I'd recommend the RT catback. It seems identical to the B&B design but not as expensive. Give JonB at PartsRack a call and he can help you make a great choice.
