Default Installed a Corsa sport on my car

Just thought I'd share a video of my car after installing a Corsa sport axle-back the other day:

I also installed the Corsa Sport on my 2000 a couple of weeks ago, after driving it around a couple of days I decided to go ahead and get the x pipe as well. Have not installed the x pipe yet, but from what I have heard it will take care of the gurgle and light popping on decel and clean up the idle.

I have an x-pipe from when I did the longtube headers a few months back. Between the headers and the cam, probably isn't going to be much cleaning up of my idle, lol!

I hope you'll enjoy your axleback. This is my second Corsa on my second Corvette, and I think they make a really great product.

IN my 16 years of owning a Corsa system , it owes me nothing, and in talking to a few People in PM, a used Corsa system like mine is worth 800 or 900 dollars. I put its value at 700, and was corrected in PM, and with links to used Corsa systems selling for 900 dollars. But with all of that, there is nothing out there that I would want in exchange.. MY Indy Pace Car system ( Sport ) system is absolutely perfect in all aspects...and It hasn't gotten old in all the time, either,, Some people say that they are too expensive, but how many systems could be in service for 16 years and still command a value of 70% of their original cost.

I bought mine used for $800. Even at new prices of ~$1,400 they're still good value. Really quality products.

I had mine done today with the X pipe - definitely the way to go IMHO - no popping or gurgling

That's strange, it was working earlier.

Here's a direct link:

Thank you, I quite enjoy it!

If you're considering a cam at some point, I'd highly recommend the TSP 228R; it has been great for me.

Good choice going with the Corsa. I have the Indy Pace Car system on my car and love it.

Yup, that's what I've got on my 04, with a cam too. No X pipe, I love the gurgle and pop, it's a real head turner. The best part is no drone on the highway... until I stomp on it. It's like Jekyl and Hyde.

I've been very happy with mine (with X pipe). Sounds even better when the top is down...

Car sounds good. I also love mine, sound is just right for a driver and as stated worth the money it cost. Mine is LT ORX and a large cam.
