I had the Corsa Xtreme installed at Carlisle in August. It is louder than the B&B PRTs that it replaced and it has no drone. The only thing that is a negative...gas mileage is down, now that I ride around in 2nd and 3rd gear to hear the exhaust

It is quiet in the higher gears. Cruising in 5th or 6th gear is very comfortable and is quieter than the B&B PRTs, the Xtreme replaced. What could be better...loud when you want loud and quiet when you are on the highway and want quiet.

Bumping an older thread... does the Extreme retain the nice higher pitched tone of the pace cars? The Corsa video online makes them sound a good bit deeper.

I like that they're smaller and lighter than the massive and heavy pace cars.

I have LG LT headers that go into my Corsa Xtreme. A group of Corvette owners caravaned to an automoble museum yesterday. Everyone in the caravan said my 'Vette was the loudest. And yet in 5th or 6th gear it can be much quieter and comfortable. If you can't take loud, stay away from Corsa Xtremes.

I also had the Corsa Xtreme installed at Carlisle. Love the sound quiet at cruising speed and loud when you put the pedal down.

I had the a Corsa Extreme system installed on my otherwise stock 2002 Z06 in November 2008. I like it a lot- it is NOT too loud , and no drone at cruise. The car sounds like a Corvette should sound.

Now I want to kick it up a notch- so thinking about LT headers to open up the exhaust.

Exhaust systems are very subjective and YMMV really applies.

Nobody has answered my tone/pitch question. I understand that they're loud, but do they have the same tone as the Indys?
