Welcome to your first taste of Corvette Crack! There is no stopping you now BTW the corsa extreme was my first mod too. Great choice, I love my my Corsa they are really great, loud enough to hear your engine but not at all obnoxious and no drone! Look forward to seeing what you do next


I am running the Corsa Xpipe with my Corsa extreme system and was thinking about headers too. I was looking at the Kooks headers and they say that you must run the Kooks Xpipe with them. So you may have made a very wise/cost saving decision by not buying the corsa xpipe if headers are in your near future.

I'm not sure how near that future might be. It is going to take me awhile to save up again to get the headers done. Which is ok, the car will still be fun to drive in the meantime!

With the X pipe usually around 5-7 HP.

I bought my car about 2 weeks ago with Kooks LTH, HFC, and a Corsa (I assume the sport level) and it sounds AMAZING.

I need to look when I get home to see if its the Sport or extreme, although I assume its the sport. I dont really have any good pictures of it.
