No and depends on which Corsa's as well!

Suggestion:
Hang onto the TI's till you know for sure you are happy with the mufflers!

Which ones are you looking at getting?

Thanks,Matt

Are you crazy - in one word - no. Corsa's will sound great on the car - I have a set of the pace car ones and they are awesome.

100%. Headers take the Corsa systems to an entirely different level. So much deeper and stronger sounding with LTs. Knowing what I do now that I have LTs and a Corsa Pace car system, I would not even put Corsas on a stock C5. Headers really waken them up. You will never look back to your Ti's.

I actually did the opposite - bought my CE ZO6 with a Corsa exhaust as the only mod - thankfully the original owner kept the Ti exhaust, and shipped it to me. I swapped out the Corsa for the stock Ti exhaust, probably saved a good 15-20 lbs.

Corsa Extremes IMO are a really great sounding exhaust system on the C5. On the Z you'll get the nice throaty sound with no drone at cruising speed. And, at WOT the sound is unbelieveable. If you do decide on the Corsa, make sure you get the H pipe for a complete and pure installation, that's the only way to go.

I really like my TI exhaust, But it was missing something, I added an X Pipe and that made all the difference in the world.

No hijack intended but does installing an X Pipe on Ti's involve specialized titanium welding? Relative difficulty, cost? I prefer the lightness of Ti's.

I don't believe so, Where it is welded in at isn't TI...

The sound is unbelievable! The best exhaust sound money can buy IMHO.
