You are kidding??? I am still having a hard time steering because my ------ gets in the way!! I have a hard time not putting it into neutral and revving when I am at a light. I also have a bone stock vette and the Corsa's deffinitely win. If you are unhappy though contact Corsa. They are very cool people and will probably help you. Something tells me though you received the touring one's. I think alot of people would agree. Someone mixed up the boxes or something because the pace car editions are way louder.

Do you wear hearing aids? Are the batteries charged up?

Just kidding, but I don't see how on Earth you could mistake Corsa Indys for stock exhaust. They are absolutley louder!

If you can't hear any difference I would certainly look into a hearing exam.

Don't want to quote a price for GHL, but they should be in the $700 to $800 range. Call Brian or Jeff at GHL and they will give you the low down...

Put on LT headers, that will definitely increase the volume!

It's hard to hear what your exhaust sounds like while you are driving. Have a friend do a drive by with you standing beside the road. I really like the Indy. No resonance, I can crawl through the community when I want and it barks WFO. It's exactly what I wanted. I just want to be obnoxious when I want to be,

Too bad its not the sound you are looking for. I would not drill any holes in the mufflers. Instead, just try to sell or trade them and get another system. Good luck.

GHL's are the only way to go. Classic muscle car sound, low resonance and beautifully made.......

I'm happy with my Corsa's but I wanted quiet at idle, low/no resonance and aggressive under acceleration. You may want to consider the trade offered. I would also agree that you'll get all the sound that you want if you add LT Headers.
