Corsa Titanium Exaust
Hey everyone~I'm Chris & I'm new to this forum. I think It's great!! Anyway, I was reading that the Corsa Ti outflows the stock Ti Zo6 exhaust. I know It's hard to pick up any gains from the fact. exhaust b/c It already flows so well. What I'm looking for Is a little more sound from my exhaust, but without adding the weight. Does anyone know anything about this exhaust? Does it really outflow like I read, and most of all does it sound better??
One other quick question~Is It a waist of $$ to get a front bumper spoiler?(Claims to be functional) Do they work? Thanks In Advance

i have the Corsa Ti race cat back system and i love it
hell yeah it out flows the stock Ti basically it is straight through no restrictions and it sounds great and is a lot lighter then the stock Xpipe and axle back but it is very pricey

Corsa Ti AND front splitter here. 
The Corsa Ti is IDEAL: light weight, option of running mufflers or straight pipes, great flow, LOTS more sound (but similar-to-stock raspy tone). Oh, and no resonance!
I don't know if the splitter is "functional" or not (are you going to be driving at the speeds where it would be functional?) -- but it looks great!

I have the Corsa Ti Competition, and it is LOUD. I was prepared for loud, but not LOUD. It makes having a conversation in the car difficult. It is very lightweight, and a straight through pipe, so it will flow better.

Wow that splitter looks awesome!! I'm going to order It first thing tomorrow! I assumed the Corsa would be louder than the Z06 Ti but I wasn't sure. I don't want It to be so loud that I can't have a conversation In my car w/o yelling. I would Opt for the Corsa Ti with the available mufflers. Would that combo be louder than stock? I'm sure It is but just want to know for sure. Thanks for all the Input Everyone

I wanted louder-than-stock, and I got it with the Corsa Ti's. But, I was also running with the mufflers. Whereas the sound was nice, I thought I'd see what it sounded like without the mufflers, knowing I could take them off and put them right back on if I didn't like it. Well, I took 'em off, and they've never been back on. And, mind you, these are mated up to TPIS long tubes.PA Z06 (Nando) has heard the car without the mufflers. We both agree that it sounds pretty good in this form.
My wife would be the first one to tell me that the car's too loud inside if it were (trust me on this one
). But she hasn't complained once about it. It really is NOT "too loud," I don't think.And, despite being loud, it's a good loud (not obnoxious sounding), and it doesn't drone. Isn't that what we all want in an exhaust?
Thanks for the compliments!

I DID manage to smash it into a parking block lately.
But, even then, I did so only 'cause I wasn't paying attention for that split second (I wouldn't pull up tightly on a parking block WITHOUT the splitter), and despite the sickening sound it made, it only just crazed the paint in a small aread while the fiberglass all stayed intact.-Kirk

That's great news Kirk! I now have the "Quiet Ride" compartment- divider & It really mutes the exhaust sound Inside the cabin. Now that I know the Corsa Ti Isn't too loud for me, It certainly wont be too loud with the divider!! Now I want this system...Badly! How much is the system with the mufflers? about $2,000.00??

If possible, opt for the system with BOTH the mufflers and the straight pipe sections. I've seen folks looking for one or the other after the fact -- and since everyone is different, I think you should have both options available to you so that you can see which option you prefer. Again, once everything else is in place on the car, the muffler swap in/out is a 10 minute job (with just a jack-up of the rear), so it's easy to see which set up you like best.

I agree with you 100% *I hope I get a nice commission check tomorrow!! If I do I'm going to order the exhaust the way you suggested, It's better to have options rather than ordering the parts one by one. I'm sure I'm going to love this system~~Thank you Kirk & Thank you CORSA!!!! LoL ~Chris

Corsa did stop making the Ti exhaust because (from what I've been told) there was a shortage (and/or price was too high) of the Ti they used. Not sure why they didn't start production back up again, but that's the reason I was told.

Just my luck!! I finally find a lighter/better flowing exhaust than the Z06 Ti & wouldn't you know It... No longer available from Corsa!! Well there's nothing you can do If It's not selling well. Maybe I should save my $ & just get some mufflers or something B/C my car sounds a little better than stock with my current setup anyway...I just wanted a slightly deeper sound~Similar to a Mustang V8 with Flowmasters. Well, while I'm here~What should I do?? If I go with the mufflers should I go with (Corsa) (Magnaflow) (B&B) or even (Flowmaster) for the deeper sound. Any suggestions would be great B/C I want to do this A.S.A.P
**Oh & to Steve, Don't quote me on this as I'm just learning about this system, but I believe It's approx. 12-15 Lbs lighter~I'm sure you'll get the right answer though. ~CHRIS

Put Borla straight pipes on it.

If you want this Ti Corsa exhaust then money talks and I'm sure some one with it on would sell it for the right price.
If you want light weight then Borla Stingers are probably the lightest after their straight pipes...at least they should be light by the looks of them.
