Exhaust Help
Tax Man cometh soon, trying to decide between Corsa Extreme or XS performance. For now just going with cat backs, also would like to throw Double D some money. Can anyone help me out with solving this question.

I've never had a set of the XS Performance products, but I am currently running a set of Corsa Indy Pace Car catbacks. I absolutely love them. Great sound at idle and when you press on the gas and the quality of the product is excellent. The Corsa's will cost more (unless you go with a used set), so factor that into your decision.

I have been running the XSPower headers and cat back for just over 2 years. Love the sound and they have zero issues. I would suggest that you see if someone near you have the different exhausts and actually hear them in person. I believe that the both systems are very similar in sound and design and separated by price. That is my opinion and you know everyone has one. Good luck in your research and decision.

Members in the club have everything from B&B to Magnaflow, just wondering for the price on XS (650.00) is the system worth the price, from the sound clips (which I know you cannot go by) they sound as loud as the Corsas'.

Same Corsa's here as well and love them. Then again do you really expect someone to say I have "xyz" and hate them?
Your best bet is to hear them live!!
Good Luck!!

i love my corsa extremes.. absolutely no drone, pretty quiet at cruising speed (convertible), good sound under normal acceleration... and scream at WOT.
