I've got Corsa Touring on mine. I love the sound.

Question: When you're a little over-revved for the gear you're in and you're heading down hill and you back off the accelerator, do yours pop a little now and then?

What causes that?

Default sound

how loud are they when cruising with the top down?

I LOVE the sound but back in the day I had borlas on my TA and it was too loud for a daily driver or long trips .. I would love to get some and now that this is not my daily I'd like to get your take on it.

Mbroadway you may need an X PIPE if you don't already have one. This seems to cure the pop during deceleration as it helps to balance out the system.

I'm with DPG. They sound even better with a cam and some Long Tubes. I am actually taking them off for the Cruise In because they are too loud. I am doing the Titanium mod to my stock Z06 catback.

A friend of mine has Borla Stingers and they sound fantastic. I have Corsa and my Vette has more of a supercar sound. I'm currently shopping for an Xpipe and Stingers or Loudmouths.
