Default Got Corsa? (or not.)

I see a lot of posts claiming virtues of the Corsa exhaust system for the C5 that I have created a very simple poll.

Do you have Corsas on your C5 or do you not?

If you'd like, you can tell which Corsa model (Touring, Sport/Pace Car, Xtreme...) you have in the comments, but the intent of this thread is not to rouse, "Why didn't you include F@rtmaster or Boreling," or whatever. You either have Corsas or you don't.

I have a hunch that Corsas will hover around the 35-40% mark of all the aftermarket exhaust systems out there. Let's see how close my prediction becomes.

No offense to anyone, but I personally feel that Corsa's along with others are a little overrated, especially for the price. Not saying they don't sound or look good but so many others to choose from that sound just as good for much less...my 2 cents

Yep, I have a Pace Car exhaust with Kooks headers and a blower cam. I can vouch for all the virtues...namely there is no drone during highway cruise. I have had this setup for a while now and totally love it... the thrill hasn't waned at all. Not intending to be too much of a distraction from the OP's original inquiry but here is how they sound on the dyno...

Its very credible to offer up the drone issue, I respect anyone who is honest and has the ability to like something and still offer up its short comings.. I can now respect your opinions and posts.
I have the Corsa Indy pace car system on my car but then this is the system we put on the Indy pace car and I was privy to the research. I could put any system on my car.. The Corsa system has been on there for ten years , and I still think its the best system for my taste.

Corsas, no drone. I have no sound deading and no partition. But they are loud loud loud when you get in on the skinny pedal.
