Default Exhaust Tips Need Help

I have only had my C5 for 5 months and dont understand the difference between a whole new exhaust system and just exhaust tips. Dont need to have every body to hear me when I am going down the road, just something more than the stock system. I do all highway driving and dont want alot of noise or rough sounding doing 60 or so. I am new to this exhaust stuff. I have heard the the Corsa Indys are the ones to get. Thanks for the help.

Hi Hockey,

Go Panthers!!!!! :D

I have the Corsa Indys and they are an attention getter. Dead quiet in 5th or 6th cruising. If you want looks and a little less then the Indys go with the Tourings. Tips only IMHO look cheap. Plus the Corsa Pro-Tips can't be beat for looks...
Corsa is an Excellent choice. Also you may want to go with an X-pipe. Cause they allow more of the snap crackle pop be heard on decelaration. If you don't want that to be heard then X-pipe is a must.

Also you have an extra set of Cats which may actually quiet down the Indys. You need to get input from people with 2001 and Indy.

Hope this helps...
