Default CORSA Indy Questions

Probably buy soon.
1. Do the Pro-tips sound different than classic?
2. Do the Pro-tips hide more of the exhaust plate.
3. What is a fair install cost.
4. It appears 899.00 is a normal purchase price. Any deals out there??

Get the Indy's. You won't regret it. Also, get the Corsa x-pipe while you are at it. I put the Pro Series tips on. Awesome! I also put on a Blackwing air intake. Don't wait another minute. The Indy's are so and they sound . Dan

WCC has about the best price I've seen around. I paid $749+around $50 for S/H. Definately get the pro series or Tiger sharks you won't go wrong. Good luck.

Default Sometimes you get lucky

I called a local Corvette performance and restoration center to inquire if they happen to sell Corsa exhaust systems and the guy happens to have a Corsa Indy system w/Pro-Tips and a Corsa X-pipe that a customer's wife had her husband remove after only 500 miles. They are spotless and he quoted me a price of $995.00 for both. Since there is no shipping charge it looks like a savings of up to $200.00 over retail.

Run Don't Walk over there now and buy them. See if they will through on installation if you are not handy. This is a great system.

Just purchased mine from East Coast Corvette and got a great deal. No the tips will not cover the plate and take the advice given in other responses and buy the Corsa X Pipe

Breathless Performance installed my Indys at Carlisle for a total parts and labor $1000.00

I figured with shipping, installation and the hassle of just finding a place to install them, this was the best deal.

And the best part was I got to listen to them all the way home from Carlisle
