Default CORSA Exhaust

I am looking at getting a Corsa exhaust. I want complete cat back system. Which system is the quietest? I don't mind a good sound at WOT but don't want drone at cursing speed. I would be open to any suggestions. My C5 is all stock.

Corsa Touring is the quieter of the 3 types (touring, pace car, extreme) that they make.

Corsa has ZERO Drone.

Corsa has three styles, Touring, Pace Car and Extreme.

I have the Extreme and I can still carry on a conversation, listen to the radio and talk to the wife while riding down the road. A lot of folks on here have the Pace Cars and love them as well.

When you get the system go ahead and get the X Pipe as well...

Search the forum and you'll find more info... but basically the above sums it up...

Good luck in your choice

You can hear sound bites on Corsa Performance web site.
I'm proud to say, they used my 2006 Z06 for final development and the sound bite for the C6 Z06 cat back system.

Why not call Corsa direct? They are more than happy to answer questions.

None of the Corsa Systems have any drone. I have the Corsa Pace Car setup with X-Pipe.

My setup is a Corsa Touring with X-pipe. Zero drone and a nice sound a WOT, but I'm looking to trade for something louder like the Borla Stingers.

If you lived in Central Texas I would hook you up with my old Corsa Pace Cars



Why did I take them off, for more power out of my blower setup, trying to squeeze every last HP and went with 3" Stainless Works now I have drone

Both of my C5's have Corsa Pace Car systems - the black one has LT's and a X-pipe, the Pace Car has stock manifolds with an X-pipe. The black car is about as loud as the Extremes would be, maybe slightly louder....neither one drones at all at cruising speed. I love the quality, the appearance of the tips and the sound.

Touring. You will like it.

Btw, don't curse at speed. Not polite.

How does the Stainless Works exhaust sound compared to the Pace Cars? I want to get a 3" catback but there arent many to choose from and I want it to stay loud like it is or louder.

GMANS C5 That C5 you have has a bad *** sound! I think that is the setup for me. Do you have headers or stock manifolds?

Thanks man! Headers and manifold is stock. Only Vararam and Xpipe. I need something more agressive sounding to match the agressive look now that I have the black powdercoated wheels on. I'm pretty sure I wanna go with the Borla stingers if I can find them anywhere.
