I have a Corsa system on my 99 that I bought used. I am not sure which I have you can't tell externally. I'll find out this winter when I do my headers. I did speak with one of the Corsa guys at Funfest last weekend. He said there are differences between the two, but not so much at idle or when cruising. It is more when you are getting on it. The pace will be more aggressive. Both are designed to have no drone while cruising or at idle. I like mine!

I have Corsa Touring but with headers and high flow cats... still wish it was a bit louder sometimes but really don't want to trade it for drone on highway trips so I'll just keep it like it is (still no drone with the headers btw). Cutouts might be a good way to go???

I have the Corsa Touring too. Along with X-pipe, AR Headers, H/C, etc...
I am very pleased with the sound now that I am done with adding "power" mods. Prior to adding the H/C I still wanted it "a little" louder at idle and cruise. After the H/C it is perfect. I went with a 224/230, 585/.595, 113 LSA. Sweet lope sound at idle (it turns heads at stop lights/signs
). Cruise sound is very aggressive. WOT will frighten most people around you.

I have the Corsa Extreme System- and honestly cannot imagine anything less aggressive for the Z06. It's almost too mild- and it's practically a straight thru design - more aggressive than the Pace.

Corsa touring ?
I was going to have the Corsa touring system put on my 2003, but with some real good advice from Jim Turner at County Corvette Inc, I bought the Corsa 'Pace Car' system and I was sold. Definitely Go with the 'Pace Car' it's so much better than the touring. The touring is almost like the stock you have a hard time telling the difference between stock and the Touring. For $1500.00 the "Pace Car' was well spent money. At 65 MPH you can't even hear anything back there, no drone at all. Great product !

If you have the Touring,,and can't tell them from stock,,,,ya better get a hearing test
!! Mine sound plenty healthy !! I'd recommend them highly!! Now IF you get them,,and you decide later you'd like a bit more sound,, all yo need to do id fix a couple of short lengths of 2 1/2" pipe just inside the inlet. This covers the first set of reversion ports at the inlet. Talked to the Corsa rep at Funfest,,and he stated that this would in essence convert them to Pace cars!! You can get Touring,,and a very minor mod can have the other if you change your mind!!!

However on H/C build with headers, it is a formidable sound.

When I first had my pacecar on I wanted louder but now with cam, blower, and headers quieter would prolly be better. It is quiet when cruising...but when I stomp it its like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Was going to do the pace car and got talked out by the sales rep. so went with the Corsa Xtreme with the cross pipe and the 4" pro-series tips and it sounds & looks sweet.
