Corsa Exhaust
Hi Guys,
Just installed my Corsa pace car with tiger shark tips, looks great and sounds awesome WOT but not 100% happy with the motor boat sound at idle and the popping on decel.
From experience with this system will an X pipe fix this problem?
Look forward to comments.

I've got the same set up, plus a WCC Tru-X Pipe. I didn't hear the mufflers without a x pipe. They sound a little like a boat when it's not warmed up. After that i can hardly tell. Maybe i'm used to it by now. They pop still also, but again less once warmed up. I like that though.

I have pace cars and recently went with longtube headers and WOW does it sound like a race car WOT, yes pop but I like it. I still had alittle pop when before headers with an xpipe. (I've got one if you are looking)

I must say I have to eat my words I have had the system on for approx 1 week now and done allot of driving with the top down.
You can have a full on conversation cruising around but when you step on it she sings and everyone that comes for a spin loves the popping on decal.
I dont think I will be changing anything for a while!!!!
Its really a different sound that what I am use to with a Gen111, I would call it a real exotic sound.

No drone After the bashing of Corsa I have been reading here lately, I just want to say this is the second set of Corsa I have installed (C4 & C5) and both were a perfect fit. No problems, no re-adjusting, and best of all - no resonance!!

i have the corsa pace car and corsa x pipe and i get a lot on poping on decel. i don't think you get as much if you have an automatic, also i have been told if you get car tuned it gets rid of a lot of the poping.

I have the Corsa Pace Car with pro tips and no X-Pipe in my C5 w/ an A4. I also have the motor boat sound and poping on deceleration. I dont mind the poping too much but the boat motor has to go. The poping has a lot to do with the way you down-shift. If I down-shift from highspeed to a lower gear, generating high RPMs (Lots of engine/compresion braking) the poping is more pronounced. I am planing on an X-Pipe to hopfully mute the boat noise.
