Question Regarding Corsa Extreme
Hi,
I was thinking about dumping the Borla Stingers I have, due to the drone, and going with Corsa Extremes...
First, Any input from you guys on performance? Equal to the Borlas?
Second, is there a drone with the Corsa Extreme?
Third, Do you really have to purchase their x pipe too? I have a kooks x pipe that was installed with the headers...
Thanks,
Kevin

I have extremes with my ARH and there X Pipe and fits perfectly. Your Kooks setup is the same as my ARH's. Do not buy there x pipe. My Z is a max effort 346 aprox 560 hp crank and I only get a slight drone. I can still have a conversation without shouting and at cruise its fine. I'm sure others will chime in.

Mine is at just over 400 to the tires and with mine there was no real drone either. Was FLP long tubes and their off road x-pipe and the extreme fit perfect. I loved them neighbors just didn't. New setup is ARH catted x and Corsa Sport

How do you like the sport compared to the extreme? Performance and sound?

Read my mods... the extreme was insanely loud, I did a straight trade for some sports 6 months later. The car sounded beautiful though! The radio was useless and I couldn't even hear myself think. Reconsider if you have long-tubes and a cam.
No drone though. I had a guy chase me for miles just to catch up and say how great it sounded.

Could not agree more I bought my car and it had the extreme's......waaaaaaay too loud my neighbors AND my wife hated me every time the car started. There was no drone but obnoxiously LOUD!! They make the car sound like a Pro Street Car.
