Re: Corsa Exhaust Impressions? (Jeff M)
I can't think of much I don't like about them. One of the tips is not functional - that's about it. High quality, easy install ($70 bucks at the local muffler shop).
Sound is pretty subjective. I like it, but you won't if you want to hear really loud exhaust all the time. Very quiet at low rpm, always able to talk/hear radio at cruise speeds. I'm told it's pretty loud at WOT, but it doesn't seem that way in the car.
If you want loud, put muffler elliminators on it for real cheap.
I got mine for $750 on a GP deal that is no more. I see forum vendors selling them for mid to high $800's and that's the best price I seen lately.

Re: Corsa Exhaust Impressions? (olephart)
I have the same impression as olephart. Most of my friends do not like the sound. They all say it sounds like a truck.
Now that I have long tubes, it has made a lot of difference. It is very loud at WOT but it is silent at cruise.

Re: Corsa Exhaust Impressions? (kkonen)
Thanks for the replies, I was at Geoff Jeals shop last night, he had a ZR1 there that was having this exhaust installed. I really liked the quaility and how it looked. When and if I do this I'm going to have the TPIS long tubes and Random cats installed also. I don't want something that is going to make my ears bleed at idle. Sounds like the Corsa sytem would fit the bill. :cool:

I think I paid $825 during the Feb GP for mine. Take a look in the forum mall.

Merv,
Where did you see this? I went to Tybyne's web page and they don't even list the Corsa exhaust. Are you sure it was them? If this is true that is an awesome price.

Re: Corsa Exhaust Impressions? (Mr Mojo)
OK, it works. Let me try again. The only thing I don't like about them is that two of the tips turn black and the other two don't.
I will be happy to take them apart or read anything they have to say if it will correct the situation, otherwise it remains the only thing I don't like about them.
I'll probably paint the inside of all the tips black and be done with it.
