Default Switched from Borla Stingers to Corsa Extreme

All I can say is wow. The Extremes are fantastic! Not only is it louder than Stingers, it sounds more refined.

The car sounded great with Stingers and I thought I would keep them and swap out the systems as I got bored... I doubt they will be going back on.

I will post sound clips soon.

How loud are these things?

Got followed home by a NC State Trooper today with his lights on because he thought I was flying...

Car only ramped up to 2800RPM to go 35MPH (from ss4000 stall TC). As soon as he pulled in my driveway I knew it... "Here we go again"

Corsa does a great job of keeping the sound outside of the cabin compared to Borla so it is very tolerable as the driver and quite scary to witness on the outside. At 80MPH cruise at 2600RPM this thing is so loud that it can be clearly heard in the cabin and resembles drone... but it isn't.

You will like it... everyone agrees that it sounds absolutely sick. The car gets soooo much attention now.

Great exhaust, had mine for about 3 years now, love it.

If your going to get this system, get the one with the 4 inch tips, looks alot better then the 3 inch tips.

Corsa Xtremes are the best.....period. I got mine a couple of months ago and all I can say is wow. Best sounding exhaust by far. I don't turn on my car radio anymore.

Not true. This is a question of personal preference. I find the smaller tips look better and more refined.

True on personal taste, however if you sound this mean... big fat tips look the part.

It helps that you have more cubes as well.

They do sound similar but the extreme is bolder. The pace car is next in line.

I'm swapping these out for a set of touring mufflers in a couple weeks just for the winter. These cold cranks sound like explosions and I feel bad for the neighbors.

As for the sound, check my sig for mods. I'll get up some super nasty driveby clips before the swap.
