Can't go wrong with a Corsa Setup!

Another Corsa vote. Plus, no resonance, which by itself makes it worth the money.

No 6 speed but the A4 doesn't sound to bad.

This is with Corsa and Stainless Works long tube headers.

The one good thing that about Corsa is it does not have bad interior resonance. But it seems to me, the louder & throatier the sound of a straight type muffler, the less resonance it will have inside the cabin. While mufflers with a lower bass tone will have more resonance inside. I may be wrong, but this is what I believe. If anyone wants to comment on that theory, please chime in.

Now I know a lot of people here really like Corsa. And to each there own. However, I can’t see myself paying over $1000 for a cat-back system with 1 functional tip when I can get a full dual exhaust for half that price. BTW, I have seen the tennis ball video and still not convinced it justifies the price tag. To me, it sounds like another item with a heavy corvette tax. Here is a Corsa cut in half.

To be fair and balanced, here is the tennis ball video. You decide.

I am considering Pypes full dual system. Here is my thread where I have some video/sound clips.

If I don't go with Pypes, I will be going to the local muffler shop and getting a custom job done from manifold to tip. Still be cheaper than half an exhaust system from corsa.

Just keep in mind in your search for your exhaust, you’ll find you’re in for a long ride. Good luck with your search!

How aggressive do you want? I took off the rear mufflers replaced with straight pipes and replaced the stock resonator with a Magnaflow resonator. It's nice and rumbly at idle, nice tone cruising, and definitely gets attention WOT. BTW, the whole deal cost about $250 from conception to install. Had it for three years now and still love it.
