Default Corsa exhaust

A friend and myself are considering purchasing Corsa Exhaust. We would like to listen to the Touring and Pace Car Exhaust in person. We are undecided as to which one to order. My question: Are there any people located in the Baltimore or Delaware areas that have these exhaust that we could listen to? Thanks for your help.

I realize that you said "in person" but I'm not sure if you are aware of this link.

Of all the exhaust samples on this page the Corsa's were regarded as the most true to life reproduction. I have the Corsa Touring and your welcome to listen to mine if you make it to Massachusetts before you purchase.

let me know if you are planning a trip to Atlantic City in the near future, I'll let you hear my Indys! (touring was too quiet for me too!)


Don't go by those exhaust sound bytes, they are not an accurate reproduction, I listened to them and to my car, and there is NO comparasion.

I guess all depends on what kind of computer speakers you have.
all I know is, my speakers don't accurately recreate the sound that I hear from my Indys.

I also noticed on that web site that the Corsa Indys and the Borla Stingers sound almost Identical except for a slightly different tone.

if the sound byte of the Touring had a higher pitch and was louder It would almost sound like the Indys.

See if you can also find someone who has added an X Pipe. I added the Bassani X Pipe, and it changed the sound for the better. Mine are Indys,

GUYS!!!! Think about it - you're trying to re-create the sound of a fantastic $50,000+ car through a pair of $20.00+ speakers!
Sorry - no WAY you can make an accurate decision based on that. You are also counting on top-shelf microphones being used (wanna' bet?).
See what I mean? This is NOT the way to make a "sound" decision!

It can be done with a decent pair of headphones. Makes it much better if binauralized too.

Even if the sound was reproduced exactly, you have no idea of the volume. Sound clips are worthless except to hear the tone.
