Corsa Exhaust Thoughts...

Hands down in my "opinion" Corsa is the best. I have had quite a number of different exhaust on my car including my favorite the Extreme (loudest) to the current system Sport and I have had the Older Touring (quietest). All had no rasp and my car is big cam long tubes and catless x-pipe. In closing can't go wrong with Corsa.

Everyone's opinion on what sounds good is very personal, so it's tough to recommend exhaust systems based on that. I can tell you though that the Corsa systems are very well made and do sound unlike any others. I did a ton of research and listening to different exhausts and ended up going with the Corsa Xtreme for my car, with the quad 4" tips. The tips fill the valance area out nicely and, in my opinion, the xtremes offer the best sound. They can be loud at WOT but not annoyingly loud. And there is no drone at highway speed. They are pricey, but you do get what you pay for.

I love my corsas and wouldn't trade them for any other brand, I have the xtremes though... some of the other brands sound ok but tend to fall flat in my opinion when going ***** out... corsa on the other hand has it's own tone and they scream in the higher rpms... some people prefer the low, deep rumble and others prefer the higher, raspier pitch so it just depends on your preference

I absolutely love the sound and quality of my Corsa Indy Pace Cars (now called the Sports). I agree that you should find someone with a set on their car and take a listen before buying as you may have a different opinion on how they sound.

Question on the inside. I took off my Borla’s last year and sold them and put my Ti’s back on because I did not like how loud it was over powering my sound system. Does anyone have there sound system upgraded in there car and what is your thought with the Corsa while listening to your Audio system. I like the TigerShark tips. Had them years ago the older system and it sounded good but it was not as loud as the sport system that is out today.

I just swapped out the Borla's that came on my 1999 FRC when I purchased it last spring - loud and lots of droning. Swapped out with Corsa sports, love them, no drone, good sound but not loud at all and FRC's are minimal when it comes to internal sound deadening - thats my next addition.

I just did the Corsa sport axel back tiger shark tip setup. At first I was disappointed, spent a lot of money and sounded like I was going fishing. Then I added an X pipe. Got rid of that boating experience. Now it sounds good, not too loud, opens up nicely WOT, zero drone, quite inside the car. I think the X pipe is a must.

I don't think they are too loud... I have longtubes with no cats, cam, and a loud blower and it isn't as bad as you would think... I know a guy with a basically stock c5z with an slp powerflo exhaust and when cruising his car is much louder on the inside than mine but much quieter on the outside

I love the look of the Tigershark tips -- so does GM apparently, when I look at C7s...
Thought my system was a bit loud until I added a Crazy Cowboy insulation kit -- knocked the sound level down a considerable amount.
