What Corsa axle back?
I have a 2003 z06 that came with B and B bullets and the drone is pretty bad in lower rpms. I do love the deep sound of it but It’s almost unbearable now after headers x pipe and tune. I have heard good things about Corsa Exhausts. I want a aggressive sounding exhaust but do not want to go deaf from the drone. Which exhaust do you guys recommend?

From my experience, Corsa exhausts do not drone. I have the Indy Pace Car system on my car and no drone. If you like loud, consider the Corsa Extreme.

Corsa Extremes! They are too loud for some, guessing they are comparable to B&B's. Here's my car with headers, x pipe, tune and Extremes. Please forgive the video, it was wet and spritzing, and I was on old slicks--but if you turn the volume WAY up, you'll get an idea how loud it is in real life:
I wanted loud for the track, think it's actually safer. It quiets down on the street if you stay out of the gas. ZERO drone.

Agree. I have 630rwhp and with the corsa extreme there is ZERO drone. My B&Bs were awful inside the car.

I just had Corsa Extremes put on my 99. I went with the 4" tips instead of the 3 1/2" tips.THey cost $1,300 then I paid $100.00 to have them installed on my car
No DRONE. Quiet then smash gas pedal to floor and all He'll screams from my exhaust. Nothin better than going under long low overpasses. My .02 cents

Thanks for the replies. I just don’t want to spend 1200 dollars on a new axel back to be in the same boat. I was worried about the extremes being too loud. But it sounds like this may be the route that I go. I just can’t take the bullets under 2k rpm... too much drone.

I too have the Pace car type, and I think they're very loud, even with HF cats. Lots of mods that make more noise, but zero drone! If you like loud, get the Extreme, but they probably won't have the deep tone of Bullets.

That’s the crappy thing I like the deeper tone of the bullets but just can’t take the drone. I’m thinking either the extremes or the step below them. What is a step below...the sports or pace car?
