Thats the big thing with the Corsas, no internal resonance at any rpm, even with long tubes. At 70 mph in 6th gear the tires make more noise than the Corsas.

CORSA!!! I had the Ti's and switched to this system, with my cam and headers my car sounds like hot sex! My only complaint with the Corsa system is it took alot of "adjusting" to get it to line up properly. Out of the box it fit like crap.

The cool thing is they sound fantastic when you want them to, and are dead quiet when you want them to be. Cruising in 6th at freeway speeds I don't hear them at all even with the top down.

I went thru this same decision making process just a few weeks ago, and finally decided on the Pace Cars. They've been ordered and have arrived! I'll be getting them installed this weekend...in the meantime I just have to be happy with staring at them in the 2 big boxes they arrived in. I can hardly wait!

Here's my sound clip (for now): "Vrrrooom, VVVVRRRROOOOM!" (choose your own decibel level)
