Yeah I know, it's in storage.

I think you have a tough choice Corsa - GHL ... GHL - Corsa. You'll be happy either way I'm sure. Buy the cheapest one!

I'm sure it's going to be Corsa over GHL - the quieter cruise is the little added bonus. They sound great at idle, just worried that when I romp on it, they won't sing like the Borla's.

I have the same headers as you with the Indy's and I guarantee you will not be disappointed with them at WOT. Unfortunately, I don't have any videos either. You can definitely hear them in the cabin while cruising but it's not a drone where you hit the resonant frequencies of the cabin, just teh sweet sounds of your exhaust singing. Nothing the radio can't cover. You can carry on a conversation without a problem. Oh, did I mention that they just keep getting louder right up to redline?

My earlier offer still stands... I have Corsa Pace Cars with Kooks Long Tube headers/catted X-pipe/mid-pipes. I'm in the Thousand Oaks area. PM if interested.

As for drone, Corsas are the only system with zero drone.

The cutouts are for when I go out and run my Vette, when you have 750ish rwhp more is always good and the cutouts and more boost should have me around 800ish a difference I will be able to feel

Here is an idle vid

I don't have the Pace cars but I do have the Indy's. They have a solid rumble at idle then steadily climb in pitch and have some rasp near redline. The best though is leaving it in one gear to low and getting that grumble/gurgle on deceleration. I've had people tell me my car sounds "like a nascar". There's nothing subtle about this system at all so you'll get a lot of eyes and thumbs up and maybe **** a few people off. All in a days work.

Here's a soundclip:

408 to Longtubes to X-pipe to Corsa indys. No cats.

Listen to my Vids, Pace Cars are not quiet with my setup, and yes I could have louder exhaust, but I like talking when cruising

I thought Pace and Indy was the same, just people call them by different names

I appreciate your offer but your profile says you are running forced induction, it's going to sound WAY different than it would on my car.

Go to the Corsa website, they have a bunch of sound clips there. I friggin love the sound of mine, once you get up in the RPM's they just scream!!!! I love going through tunnels in NYC with them, when you really get into the gas everyone around you slams on their brakes thinking its the end of the world
