Default Corsa Xtreme Installed (pix/vid)

VIDEOS BEST HEARD THROUGH EXTERNAL SPEAKERS, WHIMPY LAPTOP SPEAKERS DO NOT DO THE KIT JUSTICE!

Actually installed this first week of August, just now got around to posting!

Corsa did it again! After creating the incredible Pace Car system with ZERO drone they've upped the bar again with their new Xtreme system.

Straight pipe design with ZERO ZERO ZERO drone! Installed VERY easily and lines up perfect. Couldn't be happier!

The system requires you to have an X pipe - I'm running mine with American Racing Headers and the ARH matching X pipe. Intake is through a Vararam.

Enjoy the pix and vids - thanks Corsa for another great mod for the C5!

It is a very nice setup. Is the second bracket on the muffler just a stabilizing bracket or does exhaust gasses actually flow through it? Im talking about the square one.

It's only there for support. Honestly when I climb under the car to polish the mufflers I laugh, it's basically a straight pipe!

Just installed a set on my '03 Z. They sound pretty exotic and pack a nice bark compared to my pace car setup (up for sale!). As you say, basically a straight pipe, but NO drone.

Great job Corsa!!

Those are AWESOME!!! They caught my eye up at Fun Fest,,,now if I wasn't so broke right now!! Oh well something to look forward to!! Figure out a way to keep it,,you have the time and money in it ,,a shame to give her away now. Selling a Corvette right now sucks, you'll lose the money you have in mods(or at least most of it)!! It would be a shame to give that new system away!! Why not try a refinance of the vet and use it for a down payment or closing cost or something like that!!

sounds great! Question, is your DIC tracking lap times (noticed in the video)? Never seen that before.

I had my DIC running a countup timer so people could see that I wasn't editing out a drone period. I want people to see that there is a company out there that got Corvette exhaust right!

Excellent, I like the video that was great. Miss my C4 with the Corsa system I put on it.

So all this work and your selling it?

One question though, I'm not a welder or anything like that, but those weld joints on the muffler and pipes. Are those examples of excellent welding? Seems to me as a novice they look inconsistent. Maybe someone with experience can explain?

So did you happen to get a video/sound from the outside as it approaches and passes by? Bet with the headers it must sound awesome.

I'm not concerned with the welds at all, they seem fine to me. Yep after all that work over the past year I'm putting the car back to stock and selling her.

I'll do a drive by video tomorrow and post it for everyone.

SOunds good, yet similar to the pace cars. I imagine in person it's somewhat louder?

The video honestly does not do it justice. These are like night and day compared to the Pace.

Exactly what I thought, no matter how good the vid/audio, in person is the true test.
