Changed my catback
I went from this...
TIs
...to Corsa Indy Pace Car 3.5" Pro tips...
Install went really smooth, it helps to have a Kwiklift
. I really like the tone of this exhaust. It's odd how on cold starts the exhaust is loud and then quiets down after it starts to warm up. Can't wait for this snow to melt so I can get it out on the road.

I have Corsa Pace Car systems on both of my C5's - I still think the 3.5" Pro Tips are about the best looking tips available for the C5. Corsa really got them right - angle matches the body and they just look right!

Thanks all!
I picked this catback up used on the forum and I was a little concerned about aligning the tips. Turned out just to be "fear of the unknown", alignment wasn't an issue at all. I did spend some time working the pipe connections so that I didn't struggle assembling under the car. I guess if I bought it new it wouldn't be a problem.
Oh, and I was able to do this by myself without help. A testament to a quality exhaust with good instructions.

Thanks again!
I did some cleaning using Blue Magic on the pipe out of the mufflers to the tips. Ugh, not the easiest job to say the least! It's not going to look like your exhaust
Really like the tone so far but I need to get out on the road to really tell.
