Default Corsa extreme

Does anyone have any experience with the new corsa extreme. My 98 is stock and im considering the extreme since its louder wth no drone. Also I was considering the kooks headers and kooks x pipe, anyone have a similiar setup?

I have the Kooks 1 7/8" headers and their X-pipe and with straight pipes(Borla) it was loud and nasty sounding. I switched over to B&B route 66 s and it sounds like a stock set up!(I had to lessen the attention from the cops and my neighbors lol) I don t have any experience with Corsa but my friend has only a Corsa cat back(rest of exhaust is stock) and it sounds awesome. Kooks+ Corsa Xtreme would surely sound mean! -Jason

The Corsa extreme seems to resemble a fancy production version of the "exhaust by-pass". I have the by-pass, which sections in a piece of pipe between the incoming muffler pipe and the nearest outgoing tail pipe.
The muffler stays in place and acts somewhat as an echo chamber.
I am very happy with the set up and sound and am sure the Corsa system performs very well. Looking forward to other comments.

Waiting to hear something too. Saw them at Fun Fest(did not get to hear them though). They look like basically straight pipes with a small reflective/resonance chamber welded off to the side.They are quite intriguing!! Chances of me Talking the wife into a set are probably somewhere between slim and none,,and slim Ain't looken to good right now!!
