...had it installed at '08 Carlisle. Enjoyed the ride back to RI with no drone and continue to enjoy the music. Best thing is when driven "normally" the sound is muted but open the throttle and you hear a pronounced "bark". BTW...it looks great too

I think anyone who is unsure of the Xtreme exhaust (or any exhaust) really should try to listen to them from the outside of the car and especially from the inside. That's really the only way to experience any exhaust.

I bought mine about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. I was nervous purchasing them sight and sound unseen but they sound great. My neighbor has Borla and he came over as soon as he heard mine and now he wants to change his. I agree with some others it will hurt your gas milage because you want to hear the higher rpm's. Nice job Corsa i love 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears. no drone up high.

The extremes have a deeper and smoother pitch/tone than the Pace car system, not as raspy sounding. My friend switched from a pace car system to the extremes and thinks the extremes are slightly quieter cruising down the highway 65-75 mph. I switched as well, couldnt be happier.

I know the feeling,,,and I only have the Touring!! Maybe then it's because I have to stp on it harder to hear much at all!! The Extreme has really raised my curiosity level!!
