is the rest of your car stock?... if so that might be part of the problem... if you plan to add headers and/or a cam later down the line you may feel differently about the sports... if you plan to leave the car stock then the xtremes might be more suitable but with mods the xtremes can be too much, personally I love mine though... so if you are going to mod it more in the future you might hang onto the sports until that point and then see how you feel about them... if you still don't like the sports after the mods then you will have no problems selling them

the xtremes are a completely different design but corsa doesn't sell pieces separately as far as I know so you would need to buy the whole system regardless

I thought the Corsa Sport was loud. I heard one on you tube with headers and it sounds awesome. Even at idle. I’m thinking about putting the tiger shark system on my car. Had one years ago.

I have the Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust on my '03, which was the predecessor to the Sport. Unless they have drastically changed the sound between the two systems, the Indy Pace Car is definitely not a stock sounding exhaust. At full throttle the exhaust simply screams. It even sounds much better at idle and partial throttle to me.

But I am not sure I have heard the sound of the current Sport system.

Maybe the sport is the old touring system just a different name. I was told that the pace system is louder like you just explained. Talking to Chip from Corvette Accessories I believe he told me.

Get electric exhaust cutouts

Thinking about doing this myself but wondering if it would be detrimental to performance

neutron82

cutouts should make more power so they won't hurt performance, the only downfall is when the electronics fail and it either gets stuck open or won't open at all

I believe the sport is the replacement or renaming of the pace car. Regardless the old Touring and the Pace Car (Sport) are louder than stock even with stock everything else. The thing with the Corsa though is they are designed to be quiet at idle and cruising speeds but really open up when you step on it. It sounds to me like you may have wanted to go with the Extreme system.

I’m under the impression that they are very similar if not the same. I have the Tigershark tips as well. I obtained mine in “stages”. When I got my current coupe the first thing I did was get a set of Ti Z06 pipes. It was louder. I then found my current setup lightly used about 6 months later and love them. They’re louder than the Ti’s and when I start the car it awakens with a c6-like growl. When I push the go pedal it definitely lets you know what’s back there.

If your exhaust system is otherwise stock, you can experience the "motorboat" sound that some feel is underwhelming, or you can install a X-pipe only, which will require some welding. Personally, I would buy a complete system, which includes LT headers, and your choice of cats/no cats X-pipe. This will bolt up to your present catback, and really wake up performance, and exhaust note. Yeah, it costs money, but if you're one of the newbs, just remember, some of us paid over $40k for our Corvettes.

I think I get the motorboat sound, and it doesn’t bother me nor does the ‘popping’ when letting off the pedal. I’m also not interested in headers.
However, since I have the Corsa axle back, would a Corsa X pipe require welding?

On a stock C5 it will be a little louder than stock. If you are going to leave it stock see if you can find someone in {parts for sale} section on the forum that will trade you for a Corsa Extreme.

Caveboy

How much louder if you do the muffler bypass like the Ti mods?

About 10db

When I first put on the Corsa a few years ago ( don’t remember which system but I asked for the quieter of the two) I thought it sounded stock. But since, I’ve added vararam, long tube headers, high flow cats and x pipe. System is now much louder with a distinct rasp. Glad I started with the quieter system.

zeevette

Probably, the stock midpipe would have to be cut, so... The bad news; with only an x-pipe, the sound quality changes, but the volume level doesn't. The factory midpipe is where the factory cats are.

SG Lou

No welding what so ever. When you get the x pipe you'll get a set of instructions showing where and how much to cut off the intermediate pipes. Then you just slip the x pipe over the cut intermediate pipes and clamp them up.
