Congratulations! I also finally broke down after a year and a half and ordered the Corsa xtreme which I imagine is pretty similar. I just couldn't stand the stock exhaust anymore. Not on yet but hopefully a big improvement.

Congrats! It's a great system as I've been running it for 8 years. I added an X-pipe earlier this year and it made it even better. It softened up the motor boat idle sound yet allows for a full growl when opened up!

I agree with MSG. Consider an X-pipe.

Yes sir. They are nice. I have them on both of my c5s. Put some headers on and the car will be all brand new again and a extra 30 to 40 rwhp... They are awesome

2 years ago, I was haggling with a dealer 800 miles from home for a completely stock 99 FRC. I flew out to OKC to buy the car with only a few pics taken by the dealer and their assurance it was a nice car. I was surprised to find a very clean example of my favorite body style in my color and a Corsa exhaust. I did not know at the time how expensive a Corsa set-up was but I knew it was way better than stock. After I got the car home and on some ramps, I discovered I had the X-pipe too!

Since I never had a stock system, I can't speak for the difference it made. But the 800 mile ride home was really sweet rowing through the gears. Their are lots of louder systems out there, but I would not give mine up for any of them. Hope you love your system as much.
