Ok, so I was thinking about changing out my stock, 2008, manual, baby kitten purr exhaust...LOL...and putting in this lion ....

However, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on this system....like:

1. Install problems? ( as easy as NPP or harder? is it bolt on ?)
2. Claims 13 HP any validity to this?
3. Doesn't mention X pipe ...... has anyone installed and wished they had bought the X pipe too - to install at same time?
4. How about the 3.5 tip versus 4 inch tip...?? opinions ?? problems?? etc.
5. Feed back and pros and cons please!!!

Price seems nice...and HP gains vs NPP for the same price essentially seems like a winner....

Note: Dont care about wife not liking it ....or it being too loud.

Just need feedback from people who have it and hate it or love it ....etc...

THANKS everyone and Merry Christmas

 

Oh by the way if anyone can push me in the direction of alternative systems that produce more HP then what this claims ...please advise me!!!
No dumps or cutouts please...LOL

Thanks

 

I have the Corsa X-treme on my '10 GS.
by Q number...
1. Removal of the old exhaust is more work than isntalling the Corsa.
2. 13HP? Maybe after a tune
3. the GS comes with an X-pipe.
4. I thought the NPP on my GS was a bit louder. The X-treme is a little tamer but the exhaust note sounds a bit more refined.
Wishing it was louder, what I did today was block of the inner openings ( 4 rectangular slits near the entrance of the muffler) with metallic exhaust tape in several layers.
the result:
the new note is just absolute "STAINLESS STEEL SEX". I'm going to trademark that so don't anyone think about using that phrase.

Hope that helps a bit.

 

I have the Corsa Sports, install is easy, I did it on ramps in my garage. Like above post mentions, getting your old exhaust off is the hardest part. After I installed the Sports, I later added the X pipe. I didn't really notice much of a gain with it. If you do change the mid pipe, I would put a tunnel plate in while you're there. Helps with body flex and heat in the center console big time.
I now have headers, hi flow cats, mid pipe and kept my corsa sports.
I would suggest if you are going to do headers maybe get the Sports as it gets much louder with headers.
No drone and at cruising it is nice, but when you put your foot down sounds sweet. Here's a vid I made Sunday of my set up.

Had the Corsa Extreme installed on my 07 Z51 and love them. Sound is great and no drone. You won't be sorry.

 

I just installed the Corsa Sport exhaust and Corsa X-pipe on my '07 Coupe 6mn last week and love it. Very easy true bolt-on after removal of the stock OEM exhaust. No drone at cruising speed but much louder than stock upon acceleration and at idle. Just the "muscle car" sound I was looking for.

After checking many vendors and Corsa itself, found the best price with AutoAnything-$1,520.00 with 15% coupon for first time orders and free shipping. This price included the over-axle Corsa Sport exhaust and Corsa X-pipe. IMO, if you are going to change the stock exhaust, then change the H-pipe as well if it is stock on your car.

True bolt-on process for the exhaust and X-pipe. As other have mentioned, removal of OEM exhaust is hardest part and that is not difficult. Just follow the detailed instructions that accompany the Corsa system.

I should have done this mod long ago but was unsure of what I wanted. Probably could have gone a bit louder with the Extremes but oh well. If in doubt on sound, go to the different exhaust websites and actually listen to the sound clips of the different exhausts. Corsa as different clips for the Touring, Sport, and Extreme.

As for HP gains, I didn't care as I was interested in the sound. No headers on my car. Besides, to really determine if the HP gains were achieved, you would probably have to dyno the car before and after the exhaust swap to be accurate anyway.

Went with the quad tips but really like the single tip dual mufflers. However, the area where the tailpipes exit on a C6 is a good size space and the quad tips fill it much nicer IMO.

No regrets and my car "get more respect" now at stoplights!!

Good luck in your search for the perfect exhaust.

 

I have Corsa extreme on my 2008. It Rocks under acceleration and id quiet while cruising. I really like it. No X-Pipe necessary.

 

did you listen to the vid on their site? hee heee its me.

install was a snap..perfect fit.

 

So the sports are louder then the Xtremes? I thought the Xtremes were the loudest ...hence the name Xtreme?? LOL??

 

Wolfdog...did you go with the 4inch or 3 1/2 in tip...I think its an option..??

 

No extremes are loudest, what I am saying is if you put headers with the extremes it may be too loud, as my vid is sports with headers...

 

its the addition of his headers that makes it that loud... on a stock C6..the extremes are louder than the sports.

 

3.5"... at the time, 4" was not an option, but Im glad I did get 3.5".. it think it looks just right...

 

Wow looks great, did you get the x pipe too? I heard it takes some of the burble and pop away and has no real HP gains...and hell I want the burble and pop!!!

 

nope..did not

 

Ok, so my mind is made up to buy them.....but how about the price at 1275 bucks...is that a good deal? chime in if that is a normal or good price?? THANKS!!!

 

I have had Corsas on all my vettes. Took a brand new Z06 system off my 09 Z to put the Corsas on. Just the best sounding system out there in my opinion. This is a short vid of my Z with the 3" system and ZR1 X pipe. You won't be sorry if you go with the Corsas!

 

That's about the going price. You may want to find out if they're going to ship from the seller or the Corsa plant in Ohio. I ordered my last Xtreme from CA and unknowingly paid shipping from CA to WV when it was actually shipped from one state away.

 

thats pretty good.. i'd certainly shop around the vendors sites this time of year though, look for free shipping and stuff like that

dont forget, if you really want those tips to rock, get the polishing kit from Red Lion, it works! http://theredlion.us/sspk.htm

 

Check Maryland Speed. I got mine for a little over 1100 dlla shipped about a month ago. They are a forum sponsor.
