The Corsa Indy Pace exhaust is a very nice system that is well constructed and doesn't drone. It also gives a more exotic exhaust note and they really wake up during WOT.

If your looking for more of a muscle car sound, I would suggest the GHL exhaust. They also don't drone but the exhaust note is deeper and is a little bit louder then the Corsa's. The system is fully polished and the tips are wider then the Corsa's.

Feel free to PM me or give us a call if you need anymore info.

just installed the Corsa Pace car exhaust without the X pipe. If you want to hear your exhaust going down the road you will be dissapointed.At cruise you cannot hear it top up or down at WOT there is a bit more noise inside, but people standing on the side of the road will really know you are coming (WOT) very sweet sound

We have Corsa Indy with stock x-pipe. Wife's daily driver and she loves it. No difference in stock sound on interstate at 60-75, but any throttle and you know it. Nice sound going thru gears around town. Little bit of popping sound on deceleration with the stock xpipe that I'm told goes away with a Corsa xpipe, but. . we like the popping/gurgling ourselves. And they look good too.

That happens to me sometimes...There is a white one in town that i have literally been beside in town...and I hope it is the fact that they dont know about the wave...but the C6's have been the culprits.

I have Corsa Touring cat back, with LG headers, and off road pipe (no-cats). This system sounds sweet. Deep throaty at idle (cam really makes it sound aggressive). You will definitly hear your exhaust while driving normally. You can still cruise the highway and barely hear them with zero drone. WOT is just mean!!

I have the Corsa Touring with stick H-pipe right now,,and not bad!! They sing pretty nice at WOT (or even moderately aggressive acceleration). Silent(I think it's even quieter than stock at highway speeds in 6th). Overall wouldn't mind a bit more sound on the gas. Depending on what you want,I don't think you can go wrong with one of the corsa systems. Dream system (although I haven't heard one) would be the Corsa Extreme!!

I have the pace car system on mine and am very satisfied, I only really notice the motorboat sound when standing directly behind the car. Alongside it is really nice, just a bit louder than stock and like everyone has said and when ya mash the gas it really barks.........BTW X pipe just came yesterday and will hopefully go on soon.........Might give Maryland Speed a try for purchase.......Ordered the X pipe last Friday from them and it came late yesterday.......Best of all free shipping

I love the corsa's. Best sounding exhaust for theC5. Definately go with the pacecar with x pipe. I had the borla stingers and the drone was horrible. They sounded good from 2000-3500rpm at WOT but after 3500 rpm the sound fell off. It was retarded. They were the opposite of how exaust should sound.
