Default XSPower Catback

I asked this is the C6 section on accident but here goes...So right now I have a B&B rt66 catback and a Bassani X-pipe (on the car when I bought it). Sounds fine but I definitely want louder. I'm not looking for anything that drones really bad since I drive it quite often. I also have a 98 S10 Zr2 with a flowmaster dumped right after the muffler and it is very loud inside the truck. So don't get me wrong, some drone is fine and I know that some drone will be present in a lot of exhaust systems. All that being said, I thought I had my mind set on Corsa Xtreme since it looks good, sounds good, seems to be fairly loud, and doesn't drone. But then I see the XSPower catback that Superman09 is selling for half the price. My only problem with this exhaust is I cant find a good video that satisfies me. I want to hear it under acceleration and flybys with the camera sitting still outside the car, BUT with a stock engine. (not cammed or anything). I have seen a video of someone reving with it and Superman09 has great videos but his car is cammed and I know a cam has to change the exhaust note. Also have seen a gopro video from someone else on here but still not what I'm looking for. So, anyone have a video I may have missed or care to make one? It would be much appreciated and I'm sure will help others out as well. Thanks.

I've researched videos of this exhaust for a while now. I believe this flyby video is of a forum member at Charlotte Motor Speedway with his xspower catback. It's not exactly what you're looking for but it's different than most videos I've found.

He posted a video two days after this one called "Exhaust Borla" so unless he changed it out...also I believe he has h/c done, definitely cammed though. Sounds amazing though! Has to be someone with a good video of XSPower w/ stock engine out there.

check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIy8TN6OTN0

i have a stock engine with the XSpower catback on a 2003 coupe......the system sounds great at idle and like a scalded rat when you get on it....the first part of this video is exactly what my exhaust sounds like when "putting the pedal to the floor"

You won't be dissappointed with this system....very easy to install, great looking and cheap compared to all others out there.

Yeah, I definitely like the price compared to others. And it does look good. I just STILL want to hear a better video of it. Hope you can't blame me for that? Can't someone make a video?
