-Special Exhaust Vid Request-
hey everyone, i recently put on a corsa pace car exhaust on my 99 and i love it. altho i am getting a little annoyed with the popping/cracking on decel and the motorboat idle, but mostly the popping...i was wondering if anyone has a vid of a vette with the pace car system with an x pipe so i can see if there is a difference...i have searched and havent found anything really at all. it would be great if the car didnt have headers or anything else just the x pipe and pace car system 
but ill take whatever i can get. i am a little worried bc i have heard the x pipe will really quiet the system down a lot and i dont want that. does it quiet the system overall or just at idle?...thanks a lot everyone

Not exactly what you requested, but something to get you started. Kooks long tube headers, X pipe and Corsa's.

SSAC Headers, High Flows, SSAC X Pipe thru Corsa Indies or Pace whatever they are called now...

The camera didn't like the louder notes and was cutting out but you should get the idea...

Give it a chance for a while!!! I've had the Corsa Touring on for a while and have the same symptoms.It did not take long to where I not only got used to the crackle/pop on decel,, but actually kind of like it.Kinda makes it sound a little mean!! You may just get to like it as well,,if not you can always get an X pipe later. I have a chance to get a steal on a very lightly used Corsa X pip from a friend (I'd be surprised if it has 2000 mi and always garaged,,he got a whole new system,headers on back).I'll probably get it,,but I am hesitating as I've grown to like the "mean" sound

here's mine. Mine popped with the H pipe. It's pretty much gone with the X pipe now

ive listened to their recordings of the pace car system and it sounds nothing like mine...it sounds like a indy car on their website. im wondering if they have an x pipe installed in their vids?

I have a vid of one of my Dyno runs but it's shot from the front and you can't hear too much of the exhaust;

Hmmm photobucket is down... let me know if you want it and when PB is back up I'll post it.
