I love to read posts like this. I currently have Borla Stingers and even though they sound awesome at acceleration and decell, the highway drone is just too much for me. I've got Corsa Pace cars planned in the next couple of months.

I have had my Corsas for the entire time that I've owned the car, which is coming up on 4 years. I have never regretted having them for one second. I am having headers installed tomorrow with high flow cats - I hope I'm not ruining a good thing.......

Randy, I've had Corsa Pace Car exhaust for 5 years, 2 years ago I added LG long tubes with Random Tech Hi-Flow cats and it sounds great. It is still very manageable if you just want to drive it easy and have it sound as your car presently does. You get the best of both.
All my friends that cruise with me love the sound of my car.

You are NOT ruinning a good thing, just making the good thing even better...

Have the pace cars with american racing hearders and it sounds nice. Quiet at cruise and idle - scares little children at WOT.

Of course, I have the BORLAs, but the CORSA does have a great sound.

Why stay away from the X-pipe?? The Corsa Pace Cars sound terrible without the X-pipe. Obviously not to everyone but to most.
They gurgle like a small motorboat at idle and the deceleration popping is hideous without the X-pipe.
I would guess 9 out of 10 people that install this exhaust without the X-pipe, end up tracking one down eventually.
