Default Exhaust

Is there a way to tell what exhaust I have? The mufflers and pipes are a satin black....and not loud. Could they be the Corsa touring...which, I understand, is not much louder than original equipment. There is a number stamped on the muffler, I think. Maybe I can trace it to Corsa...I think they're Corsa tips. Need something louder, but not radical.

Corsas are normally polished and have their logo on the tips, I dont think that they are offered that way but someone may have played around with them. If you find a part number, send me a PM and Ill cross reference them with the exhaust manufacturers that I deal with.

OK..I appreciate that. Any suggestions on a system that gives some deep rumble at idle, and some bark at launch?

Try the Bassani system, I've got them on my 3 C5s and love them. If you are going to Carlisle go listen to them and hear the difference.

Pics would be nice but it sounds like you may have the stock system on there - they were painted black. If you want a nice system that is not too loud, try the B&B Route 66.

Probably the stock exhaust with the tips changed for a better look

I can only recommend my own, the GHL Magnum dual tips. VERY nice sound out of these...
