Corsa Extreme People Come In
Sooooo........I found a mint, almost new Corsa Extreme system on ebay for $650 and pulled the trigger immediately as I never see these for cheap. I picked up some 200 cell count high flow Magnaflow cats on black Friday as well. Currently my stock cats are very restrictive as I did some research and the cell count on stock 2000 cats is around 700-800. I ditched the pup cats about 10 months and that made a difference on it's own. So right now I have a z06 ti system with bypass, corsa x-pipe with stock cats and long tube headers. Now I will have high flow cats, corsa x-pipe and the extremes, this will be interesting. My modded TI system will be available for sale as soon as the other system comes in. I've never changed exhausts this many times, but I think I will like what is to come. It was just too quiet and I am cammed. I have heard the straight pipe Borla pipes, but it's just ridiculous loud. I hear this corsa system is top of the line and has very low drone. For the guys that have this system, what do you think and how do you like it?

You will like it. Very low drone, if any - depends on your definition of drone. You can hear the exhaust though. Out back, it is loud! I have a relatively big inch, high compression, big cam setup and have LTs, high flow cats and the Extreme's. They are not obnoxious, unless at WOT and even then, not bad at all inside the car.

I have LTs matted to Corsa Extremes and love the sound. It's easy to carry on a conversation on the inside with the loud in your face noise on the outside. You will not be disappointed. I get compliments everywhere I go with how great the exhaust sounds.

Corsa makes an excellent exhaust product. IMO, you will really like the sound of the car.

Corsa Extreme
The Extremes will sound great and when a cam is installed it sounds wicked. It gives the Vette an exotic sound unlike the other brands and has very little drone and cabin noise. All aftermarket setups sound great.....its an LS so it comes down to what YOU like.

I listened to sooo many exhaust systems before I narrowed it down to 2 systems, the Corsa Extremes and the Billy Boat Bullets. Both sounded nice, but the Bullets had a little bit of the motor boat sound at idle and too much drone overall while the Extremes just sounded nasty with little to no drone. I think you'll be happy.

Love my Corsa Extremes.. They are nice in the cabin, but loud to those who follow, especially at over 3500 rpm..
You can hear them in the cabin, but no drone. I do have the trunk partition and shelf however.

I have The Corsa extreme axle backs and X-pipe on an otherwise stock 04 C5 base. It sounds great, absolutely zero drone, but it is a little too quiet for my tastes (mostly due to currently having 4 catalytic converters). I am thinking when I install long tube headers (deleting all 4 cats) it will probably be a bit too loud, so I will more than likely add a pair of resonators and then it should be about perfect.

I live in Florida, so I am not going to waste money on over priced air fresheners. I am half tempted to see if I can sweet talk my friend that owns a shop into cutting out the cats and replacing them with bullet resonators, but I really don't want to invest any time/money in the factory manifolds.

Even after adding headers, I'm still surprised by how "quiet" my xtremes are at cruising speed. But WOT sounds mean.
Another benefit was the choice in tips. I love the four 4" tips.

The 4" tips in my opinion look waaay better. Unfortunately the system I found used has the 3.5" tips. But for $600 I can't complain. Can't wait to get it in!

Got mine installed today, picked up a set off of CL barely used, for $800, the guy bought it for a super-charged C5 Z06 and it was just plain too loud so I got a couple hundred off. I had them installed on my 01 C5 otherwise stock base convertible with a catback Borla X pipe and it's perfect for what I wanted, a little sportier sound with the Borla X pipe adding just a little more growl, which I got the idea for after reading someone posting about it on this forum. The muffler installer complained about the Borla X pipe and said it was responsible for the tips not lining up perfectly but when I looked at them they looked straight to me so I don't know what his problem is, what do you think?

It was put on by a company called Roll Race America, They used to do one event a month, but a mustang went full mustang and bounced off both walls on the big end trying to hook a big TVS on a 20" street tire and I dont believe theyve had an event since. IT was a shame, it was a very well run event. $60 run all night. A lot of us used to to adjust our tunes based on the weather changes lol
