Default Corsa Touring with GTR tips

Thinking of picking up the Corsa Touring with GTR tips on stock 03 coupe. This will be my first mod! Woo hoo!!!! Anything I need to know about this setup? Just out of curiosity, does anyone else have this setup with a sound clip.

Corsa touring will not be a whole lot different than stock exhausts. I have Corsa Indys (my first and only mod to date) and they are just barely louder than stock at idle and cruise. Of course they wake up quite nice at higher RPMs. Just my .02

Forget sound bites. The best advise is to find someone in your area who has this setup and listen to it live. It's the only way to really know.

If you ask, I'm sure you'll get someone to let you take a listen.

I have the Corsa Touring and am very pleased with them. However, inside the car they are as quiet as stock until about 2000 rpm, then they are much louder. Outside the car they sound great and are somewhat louder than stock below 2000rpm. You really need to hear them on a car before you buy.

Many (maybe most) here would think they are too conservative ... but they're just right for me. Reasonably quiet just cruising around and very authoritative at WOT.

Good luck ...

THE GTR tips are hard to align, but nice otherwise...

I'd plan on getting the indy's w/ an x pipe instead. Just a touch louder, but no backpopping on decel this way...

Get the Indy's. But it's your choice. Checkout the Corsa site www.corsaperf.com for the sounds. You're going to love it.
