Are the Ti's going to be THAT much quieter? I hope that I didn't give up RWHP by making the swap either. On the bright side I shouldn't have to blast the radio as loud to be able to enjoy it huh?
I would say your crazy for deciding this only if you had the Corsa Ti setup, but since it's Indy system, It's understandable. I personally wouldn't do the swap though... Hope U like the new Ti's

Well they're on and I'm not sorry. Yes they are a bit quieter but that was what I wanted in the first place. I mean come on...an A4 running heads/cam, LT's with no cats & 3.90's out back and driven 99.9% of the time on the street needs just a wee bit of compromise. Yes the tips are not as pretty as the Pro Tips on my Corsas and they are recessed way too much under the bumper, in my opinion, but hey that is but a small tradeoff for a good sounding vette without being obnoxious. The weight savings is a plus and the lifetime construction is great too. They tuck nicely on the inside of the bumper and are much narrower than the Corsas which looked kind of chunky down there and even stuck out a wee bit below the bottom of the bumper. The sound is nice at idle and though I haven't been behind them at WOT, they sound nice and raspy from inside the car. I didn't feel resonance in the cockpit either, the calling card of Corsa. All in all a good tradeoff and a nice compromise.
