Default Does Corsa Cause Drone?

Hey folks,

I'm doing some research about different exhaust systems. I personally feel Corsa Performance has the best sound. But I wanted to ask those who have it installed, if there is any droning inside the cabin?

Thanks!

I have Corsa on my 95 and absolutely no drone on the inside. You can carry on a conversation with no problem.
Thanks Hawkeye56

Same on a 93 6 speed… hammer it and it’s loud then shift for cruise and no problem/no drone or noticeable resonance.

I have Corsa on my 86. It is the best of both worlds. If I am cruising it isn’t at all loud and there is no drone. When I get into and put the pedal down it screams

Corsa's whole marketing is built around no drone. I have Corsa on a 2020 Ram 1500 and a 2007 C6 and will eventually get Corsa for my 1996 C4.

I have the LT1 style Corsa system on my 91 with headers and no cats. No drone whatsoever. It’s expensive but well worth it in my opinion.

I have the same, exact set up on my 91 ZR1. Best exhaust system I ever had.

Zero drone for the past twelve years on my '94 LT1, six-speed car. Stock engine, original exhaust from the manifolds to the back end of the converters. Corsa cat-back from there to the rear.

Live well,

SJW

Thanks, everyone! That settles it! Will be ordering my Corsa soon!
Also called Corsa to ask them directly and they assured me there will be no drone...
