Exhaust Upgrade
I'm looking to upgrade my '02 stock exhaust system with a Corsa Touring system with quad tiger shark tips. I want a nice sound but not overly aggressive........any thoughts?

Corsa Touring has been discontinued for about 2 years...
You will have to go with the Sport

The Sport will get aggressive when you are in the gas and quite
when you are just cruising

I'd go with the Sport. I tried the Touring and it was waaaay too tame. Switched to the Sport and love it. Jump on it and you'll know it, but unnoticeable while idling thru the community at 25 mph at 2:00 in the morning.

Sound can be very subjective... seems younger members enjoy the obnoxious sound and drone found in many exhaust systems, The louder the better, for some. I bought the Indy Pace car, now called Sport, with the Corsa X pipe for my C5, 13 years ago... I've yet to find a better sounding system for my taste. If one was available, Im sure I could get 500/600 for my lifetime system, and buy something better. My Corsa's owe me nothing, but for me I've just not heard anything better over the last 14 years.

Thanks for all of the great info.....looks like the Corsa sport/pace car with tiger-shark tips is the way to go. One last question........do I absolutely need the new X-pipe when installing the pace car system?

I have the Corsa Xtreme and can't tell I have an aftermarket system when just cruising, but when I put my foot into it, the beast is awakened! I have the X-Pipe and it gets ride of the popping sound on decel.

You won't be sorry. I have had my Corsa exhaust for 6 years and no regrets. As for your follow up question, I don't think you need the X-pipe but hopefully others will chime in on who are more sure...

There is no performance gain unless you have headers.

I'll agree, go with the Corsa Sport exhaust. You'll love the sound. I have the Indy Pace Cars on mine and it sounds fantastic.

Corsa exhaust with x-pipe here and couldn't be happier with the sound. Only improvement for me would be long tubes! Of course a cam couldn't hurt either
Don't know what model I have as they were on the car when I got it 2 1/2 years ago.
