I did the AA mod myself, pain in the rear with no lift but much less expensive than any other option and I love the sound.

Easy to do once the exhaust is free from the car.

You'll like the Touring!! Back on 5/7/08 I ran a thread"I MUST BE AN OLD FART,,I LIKE MY CORSA TOURING" Got over 2100 views and 88 posts(several were my responses though) There are a LOT of Corsa touring fans out there!! I guess ,like their mufflers they just make less noise!! I must agree with some comments along the line,,that these SHOULD have been what the factory set should have sounded like !! You'll get a nice purr when just putting around town etc.,,and get a "classy" howl when you get on it and let the revs climb towards red line!! I don't care HOW old you are (and I'm probably as old or older) almost ANY vet owner wants that little rush and gets on it sometime or other!! These will fill the bill for you!!

Right now, that's where I'm headed - I would like to hear those personally...think I'll try and find a Vette in the area with Corsa Touring and make sure....hard to tell from U-Tube

Thanks for the advice

Still has a bit of the motor boat sound at idle, but a major improvement over stock.

I have the same setup and love it.

So, the next step was these...Nxt Step.....No more "low end" rumble, but the sound inside and out is good to the ear.

Sorry, what is confusing? Nxt Step is an exhaust system available for Corvettes. Did you see the video?
