Considering the competition
If you look at the poll and consider all the " Other " upgraded systems are in one category, and the fact that there are about ten other systems that would fall into that Other category, Corsa is very well represented here with more than 50 % of the entire participation.

But then I got to thinking, there must have been a lot of people who did not participate or even click on the thread because of the title. "I don't have Corsas, or my car is stock, so what do I care?"
Still, were it a mandatory poll, it looks like Corsas would still be well represented.

I was thinking the same thing. My work delayed my viewing the results of my poll, and when I saw how well Corsa was represented, I was quite startled.

I would think that given the way the (Poll ) Topic line was posted, that anyone without a Corsa system would be proud of what they have and would quickly come in here and support their system by saying No to the poll, and then post what they have.. I think this poll is fairly accurate based on member's pride in their decision to purchase a specific system.
Also, some may have not wanted to admit they're still stock, but as an anonymous poll, they had no reason not to vote. So, though some may feel the poll/thread is somewhat biased, ya gotta see that a lot of members own and enjoy their Corsas!

I installed Z06 Ti's on mine. Nice sound (could be louder), very light, and probably the best flowing of of all. I don't understand why you Z06 guys remove these. I think if they were coupled with headers, they would be perfect. Hmmmm?

Corsa Ti system here. I had the Z06 Ti and wanted something that was a little louder, but wouldn't drone. The Corsa system meet that requirement. When I had the stock Z06 Ti system, I was running with the stock Z06 cats, so it was pretty tame until you got into it. I went with high flow cats when I installed the Corsa system, so the loudness is not really a fair comparison, although I'm sure the Corsas would be louder than the GM Ti with high flow cats, due to the straight through design. Both sounded good to me. Just a matter of what sound your looking for.

The poll is definitely skewed and going to be inflated towards Corsa owners simply due to the thread title. A general thread titled, "What aftermarket exhaust do you have?" would need to be created. Not discrediting Corsa at all, just stating that this thread is going to be heavily weighted towards Corsa for said reasons.

But seriously, I have been wanting to post a poll with exactly the title you've stated, and I still might, but I haven't taken the time to research all the popular brands. However, you're absolutely correct that such a thread would be more accurately revealing.
See my post "Corsa Owners - Show Us Your Tips!" to learn that the Pace Car/Sport model won by a significant margin. That prompted me to want to see how popular Corsas are in general, so even knowing the intentional limitations of my question, I knew I'd at least get some data, skewed as it may be. For example, let's say the numbers stated 20% Corsa and 80% everything else. Biased towards Corsa as my title is, such results would certainly be quite revealing!
Taking Evil-Twin's statement about non-Corsa owners' pride in their own systems prompting them to vote, this poll's results still indicate Corsa's popularity. If I or someone else posts the more general What aftermarket exhaust do you have? I'll bet Corsas will still be on top.

Your topic line is perfect.....
Everyone reads the active topic line. you made it a very simple choice, and pride is the prime motivator,,,
Eveyone wants to have others post the same thing they do, be it pride in owning Corsa, or pride in Not owning Corsa, or proud to have a stock system,
People will want to run in here and vote, just to prove to themselves that their choice was backed by others with the same choice and thinking.. and those without Corsa would be quick to post, " No"... few people would admit to making a worng decision , and want to shore up their choice. Nothing would make the non Corsa owners happier than if the non Corsa choice beat out the those with Corsa Choice. Of Course this is just my logical opinion...

Thanks for the great description, Evil-Twin.

100% I wouldn't put Corsas on my car if they were free, worst sounding exhaust on the market, especially at idle with that horrible fluttering sound!

BB Bullets here.
Loud- yes
Drone- some
Regrets- none
Corsa's look and sound great though. At the time of my exhaust purchase, the Corsa's were a bit out of my price range. Found a great deal on Bullets, so I went for it.
