I am just curious, how come no one ever talks about flowmasters? Are they bad? I have always heard only good things about their products.

Corsa Indy's here with LT headers and HF cats....Excruciatingly loud at WOT(especially to those behind you) but quiet at cruise . I love them! Definately an attention getter whey you open it up.

love my Indy Pace, had Bullets for real short while,sounded good, but way to much drone, Indy's perfect for me, sound awsome when getting on it and No Drone at all. I went to a car event a while ago and was only doing like 5 mph into parking area, (not revving the motor or anything) and someone came up and asked what they were, I love them

If you like attention get Stingers.

If you like a light weight system get Stingers

If you want a healthy increase in power get Stingers

If you want a "TON" of resonance get Stingers


I love mine, but they are certainly not for everyone.

Where would be the cheapest place to purchase the Corsa Indys? And should I puchase them myself and then go to a muffler shop to have them installed or just go to a shop and buy them through them? The lowest price I could find online is $856 and free shipping.

Grazie!

Rob

I was at the West Coast Corvette open house and ordered the quad stinger exhaust. Just had it installed last week. It sounds great! A little bit of droning at 2600 with the top on. With the top off, it's not that noticable. I'd definitely recommend it if you want an aggressive exhaust.

$859 sounds like a good price for Corsa catback. Thats around what I paid a year ago from Mid America. I just looked and Mid America is $1099 now! Free shipping is sweet, what web site are you lookin at?
I would get them now before they go up too.

I did a search on google for " discount exhaust systems " and about 4 or 5 of the fist ones listed all had the same price, and like 3 of the 5 offered free shipping! My local performance muffler shop said the price to install would be between $100 & $200.
