How about you Corsa Extreme owners. Happy with them, too loud, too quiet, too much drone, no drone?
Did you move from Pace Car to Extreme? If so what is the difference? Did you go with the X pipe?

I bought my extremes for my C5 one year ago and havent been happier!!! I elected to go without the X-pipe because I kinda like the popping sound when downshifting but that is personnel preference. I guess if I ever get sick of it I can always put it on but for now it saved me some money and I love it. No drone at all and sounds awesome through the first 3 gears especially when you get on it. I have lost some gas mileage due to the fact I love the sound and shift at a higher RPM but who cares. I just bought another set of extremes to put on my wifes C6 ar Corvettes at Carlisle this year. She loves the sound too!!

Hope this helps.

Xtremes all the way! I have a Magnaflow x-pipe, and the combo is great. No drone, very throaty at WOT, and nice burble at idle. Absolutely no regrets, plus they barely weigh more than the titanium exhaust they replaced on my '03 Z.

Oh, I recently installed some B&B shorties to save a few pounds off the front end, and I notice a definite "rasp" at full throttle that wasn't there before. With long-tubes, could be an issue, but I'm thrilled to have a little bit of an exhaust-note now.
