I have long tubes ,x pipe and Corsa Pace (indy) . Cold starts are a little loud for a second or two, regular throttle small rumble, at highway cruise barely noticeable. Full throttle and children cry, really LOL. I have heard alot of different set-ups and I choose this one and have not been disappointed.

oh this is a tough one, tough comparison since it's a different note.
not familar with the A4 but is being at 2500rpm a regular thing?
I have indys, but being 6speed, I'm not at that rpm constantly. The indy's can get loud, and is loud with L/Ts, but I can have a phone call with the windows up in the right gear.

My 03 Coupe A4 with H/C, AR LT headers, Corsa Touring (imho) sounds phenomenal. An driving instructor at the track told me it sounds like a NASCAR going by.
The cam and headers turn heads at stoplights.

pace car ts is right for you with your t/s tail . you dont need xpipe if you have lts with hf cats. had the t/s pace went to corsa extreme for weight and drag purposes. extreme only weighs 33 lb the pace car about same as stock. extremes flow a little better but are louder at wot and idle
i p/u a mph in 1/4 mile with extremnes.

My biggest worry is that the Corsa pace car will be as loud as the Borla stingers. I know there will be no drone but I hate passing someone at half throttle and having everyone on the street hear me.
My Borlas sounded great below 2500rpms but at 3000rpms they sounded the same as 6000rpms which is what i hated. Someone please tell me that Corsas are not the same.

The difference is the tone. The stingers have a deep throaty sound (which is why I chose them over others) and the corsas have a more exotic note. Make sure you listen to some corsas before you buy. IMHO corsas don't sound like they belong on an American muscle car, but there are very obviously quite a few on this board who'd disagree with me. Another option you might consider is GHL bullets. I've heard them in person and they sound VERY similar to stingers but I'm told they don't drone...

it quieted down my corsa indy. No loud gurgle at idle and the wot indy scream was a lot less as well. I was a bit faster in the 1/4 mile after the corsa x pipe install tho.

I have the Corsa Indy's and they have a beautiful throaty tone to them when accellerating and best of all there is no drone....none.....all my buddies comment on them and think it is the best sound they have heard without being obnoxious....my 2 cents remembering all this is afterall rather subjective to our personal taste....

I am running the Corsa Pace Car Indy's on my H/C/I C5Z... I will tell you that going through the gears it is tame.. cruising in 6th.. very quiet, literally no noise in the cabin. Absolutely no drone EVER!
I am running the LG Streets but changing to the Super Pro's this weekend (no cats).. My buddies tell me when they are behind and i am opening it up @ WOT the car screams like an Indy Pace car... I can;t tell really... But they all say it is LOUD.. just my .02
If i ever changed ( which i doubt i ever will) i would go with GHL's...
