They look good. Hope you like the sound. So your wife might like them and ride with you now ... I assume that's an upside? Cruise on! Keep'em shining!

When comparing exhaust tone, Stingers are the best I've heard thus far!
They're fantastic on a stock vette! But with the mods I done to the car,
they are too loud. A side of me will definitely miss the stingers, but the
Touring sound great in their own right. Very little to no resonance but
sound great at WOT, not as good as the Stinger but very good! But then,
Stingers tips don't come close to Corsa tips in appearnce (IMO). You
forfeit some, you take some!

They look great, just like mine!

As for the alignment, it was a constant problem for me until I had a small rod welded behind the tips, since then they have been perfect!

I put my Tiger Sharks on a little over a year ago and like a couple of others here have said, still absolutely love them!!!!!!! I get more comments and compliments on them than any other mod I have ever done to a vehicle.

Mine are the pace car version and I could swear that they have gotten a little louder than when they were new. It could be my imagination, but I really don't think so.

I'm sure you will enjoy yours too!!

Love the tigershark. When I put exhaust on my 02 QS vert, that's the system I plan on putting on.

I just had them installed as well, with a Bassani X-pipe.........they both look and sound great. Initially I was going to do the LTs and high flow cats as well, but my co-pilot asked to hear it this way first!! Her comment was "well, they're not obnoxious!". We'll work on the rest now!

It's not your imagination. Corsas do get louder over time. I wonder if that's the same for any exhaust.

I'm trying to decide between Borla stingers (quad round) and the Corsa Indy/Pace tigersharks. I really like the look/quality of the Corsas, but I think they're a little tame. When talking to MAD, I was told on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the loudest), Corsa Indy/Pace was a 2 at idle and cruise but a 3 at WOT. Borla stingers were a 3 at idle and cruise, and 4 at WOT.

Does anyone happen to have a pic of the Borla stingers installed on their car?

Default Alignment Issue

Is the alignment issue something that everyone experiences with the Corsa Tiger Shark system? Is alignment an issue with the Pro Series tips setup? When I install a system I plan to put on the Corsa X-pipe as well. Will that in any way diminish an alignment issue? Dan

What I was told by others here, and the tech that installed mine was that they would "bake in" over the first few heat/cooling cycles in the first week or so and they might move a little. I was told to drive it a week and then come back in to have them readjusted/realigned, which is what I did (no charge). They have not moved again since. That was over a year ago and mine is a daily driver, so if they were going to move again, they would have.

I have been very pleased with this exhaust system and man do they look good!!!

Later,
Mike.
