01vert no mods: does the Corsa Sport have a lower (better) sound (rumble) than the stock exhaust?

Yes it does I have sports on my vert paired with an xpipe. Xpipe was installed by PO I don't know the manufacturer. I do not have headers. I love the sound. Calm at idle, comfortable when cruising. Really wakes up when I get on it

Thanks for asking the question 2ndvett01.... it's one of the options I am considering for my "01" vert.
Are you looking at any other options?

I have the Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust on my car - the predecessor to the Sports. Love the sound and no drone. So much better than the stock exhaust sound.

Just installed the sport on my 04 vert and love the sound. just a little rumble at idle but it wakes up when you get on it. Its not
so loud that you cant hear the radio or the passenger but loud enough to sound like a sports car
no x pipe so I get a little popping at deceleration, but that sounds kool too. glad I did it!!

Thanks for the feedback they are sounding (pardon the pun) like the direction I may want to go. I am going to look around at the upcoming Gilmore Museum all Corvette show and hopefully hear some options.

Had the Corsa Sport with x pipe installed today. Exceeded my expectations. Nice low rumble at idle. No drone while cruising ( at 55 to 85mph). Beastly at wot. Really happy I did it.

Echoing above. I have the Sport/Tigershark tips with a Borla Xpipe. Love the sound at any RPM.

I have the Corsa Sport with Melrose Long Tube ceramic coated headers with x-pipe. AMAZING sound when stomped on, yet...can hardly hear it at cruising speed. Sounded really good without the headers...once the headers were on, it was like a beast had emerged! Torque increase was very noticeable and the sound....wow! You'll love 'em!

Its a hard exhaust to beat.Just the sound at start up is a win in my books.
