Default Corsa for L98

It looks like MidAm now offers a Corsa system for the L98. With an otherwise stock auto L98, is this a worthwhile mod and what will the benefits be? Thanks,

It will be worthwile if you like the look of the tips, you need new exhaust, and you want a different sound with no resonance. I'd not bet on any more noticable power though, the stock systems (for LT1 at least) flow well. Does your car have a true dual system with a crossover of some sort? Both my stock LT4 and Corsa have these features.

Thanks. From what I have heard, the stock L98 systems don't flow so well so that an aftermarket exhaust system is a good start to help the car breathe and perform better.

You might want to look at B&Bs catback for the L98. I think the tips are much prettier.

I went the muffler eliminator route. Sounds great and is over $600 cheaper.

Yes, the LTx systems flow well, and supply nice power.
However:
I see you have no idea how pitiful the L98 exhaust is...

You don't say what year you have, but the earlier the L98, the more power can be had by replacing the stock exhaust with a good one...
