What about the Corsa Pace Car system? The reason I ordered this system is a new STANG! went by last night and sounded GREAT!!

Those 302 (what ever Ford's) always sound great right out of the box.
What gives Chevy??

An iron block will always sound better than an alluminum block.

Wow so the material that the block is made from has nothing to do with it!

Just check with several of the forum vendors and see who has the best deal.

A timely post as I am about to pull the trigger on this system with the Pro Series tips. Still looking for the best deal and the best I have found is $898. Anyone else out there shopping? Wonder if we can get a group purchase going with some vendor??

Aren't there any purists out there who are dying for a set of '99 stock exhausts? I have a nice set that's full of spiders out by the side of the house. Cheap to a nice home....

I agree with the member that said it is because of the stangs factory headers. My corsas are very quiet until you rev the engine, then they get louder but not loud enough. Headers would help out the situation.

Most cars that pop on decel have an exhaust leak. on ours its just the engine oh well corsa's sound great on excell at WOT. i just try to have that happen more than the decel thing
