Just finished new corsa cat back exhaust. I love the black tips and the sound is awesome at WOT. I do wish it was a little louder ay idle though.

Trust me, it's a lot louder outside the car.

When I put mine on I thought the same thing. Then I had someone else drive it while I stood back and watched.

I think B&B makes a better exhaust for the C4.

The Corsa is very loud outside the Vette. Have your wife or trusted friend to do a drive-by, and you'll see.

It is quieter than Magnaflow, but what I love about the Corsa is the drone free at any speeds on 6th gear.

Few times with the Magnaflow I had to drop it to 5th, and few times I had to stop. Screw that!

I just made a small trip to Zion National Park, and Bryce National Park; I enjoyed the trip, listening to music, and making phone calls.

The way it looks, and performs it's extraordinary

For a sunday driver or track car for flow I agree. For a Daily Driver hell no... the drone will drive you nuts. However B&B has the best looking tips on the market and fill out the rear exhaust cut outs well.

I have had both systems and I love the Corsas

Serious? I called B & B last week. Mike Boat advised 'drone' problems are fixed. Corsa is an excellent system but I like the B & B tips better.
