Default Which is louder question.

Well, which is the louder of the two. GHL Bullets w/ 6 inch cans or Corsa Pace Car's. I had the pace cars and they got too loud after LT's. I;m running a Z06 exhaust after the H/C and I miss my loud pedal. I know the two exhaust have a different sound quality but I'm curious about the volume.

I've never had either but have never truly been IMPRESSED with the Corsa product sound quality. I would say either GHL OR B&B(what I have) Bullets.
Hope that helps a little.

I would imagine that the Corsas are the milder of the two!

At WOT, they are comparable....the Indy's do have quite a bark to them, as do the GHL's.

The idle tone and volume is what sets them apart...GHL's have a MUCH deeper and louder sound at idle.

I have H/C and Corsa Pace Car.

If you can find someone with H/C and GLH Bullets perhaps we can meet somewhere so you can compare the two in person.

If you think Corsas are loud after the H/C LTs, you dont even wanna think about the Bullets

I had the Pace Car's. After I did the headers they got a little too loud for me. Knowing I was gong to a H/C setup (which I now have) I thought the Pace Cars would be over the top and traded them for Z06 Ti's which are on now. I'm really trying to find something between the Z06 Ti's and the Pace Cars. Main priority - NO DRONE!!!

What about Corsa Touring? Although I don't know from experience, if Corsa says they're tamer than Indy's, and other members have reported that they're definitely louder that Ti's, I would think that would be perfect for you.

Just a thought.
