I have Corsa Sport on my 09 and I love it. Took me a while to purchase them though because I wanted to hear it in person. The youtube videos really don't do it justice as it sounds soooooooo much better in person. I was so happy when I bought it and wish I did it as soon as I bought my car.
I don't have any videos of my car that I can post, but perhaps others may have some HIGH QUALITY videos of their Corsa Sports which they can post to help him make his decision a little easier? Maybe a few start ups, idle, WOT cruise, WOT (inside and outside the car) That would be great if someone has any. Cheers.

IMO, Corsa Sports are the best for C6's. I've got nothing bad to say about 'em. They have a good tone during normal driving then get loud and nasty sounding with some hard driving. Most importantly is THEY DON'T DRONE! You can talk to someone and/or hear the radio while blasting down the highway. They also flow much better than stock. When I installed Sports on my 1st C6 along with a CAI, my fuel trim readings went way positive in my computer indicating dramatically increased airflow. After I tuned the car, it became an animal.
IMO, Extremes are too loud and they drone at certain highway speeds.
Corsa touring is too quiet and just a slight improvement over stock.
Good luck w/ whatever you choose....

I think the least mentioned attribute of Corsa systems is that they're in the small minority of quality vette exhausts that have been designed with the understanding that you can actually clean and polish your quad tips when they're not fused.
My current c5 came with quad b&b and just looking down at them irks me.
Take in all the factors, looks, design, sound, quality, price, etc and it's hard to beat Corsa.
The sport mufflers had a few more cheeseburgers for dinner than the xtreme's, you'll be looking at them.

I put Corsa Sports on my "03 C5 and loved 'em. Would I do it today? No, not after experiencing the sound and flexibility of the factory NPP exhaust system (on my '09 C6) with the aftermarket Mild to Wild switch (allows you to control opening/closing of the exhaust - i.e. loud for you, quiet/no drone when wife or signif. other is in car.)
Some members of the Corvette club I'm in have retro-fitted the NPP system to their C6's with good results. Your local Chevy dealer may even be able to do this for you. It won't be cheap, but you get what you pay for!

Looking for an exhaust system for my 07 base Vette (no mods-yet). Did the research, listened to the sound bits, and You Tube. It somewhat helped. I've read the Manufacturer's descriptions. Even called one. By description, the Corsa Sport system seems to offer what I want. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who has one. I miss it with the Flowmaster for the Mustang, the Borla for the truck. Both, were simply a bit louder than stock. So hoping for 1 out of 3.
Does anyone have this system on their Vette? Or, have you heard the system live on someone's Vette? I'm looking for a muscle sound at ideal, and a crisp tone through the gears and no drone when cruising. Needs to be much more aggressive than stock, but not the loudest tier. Want music and talk in the cabin when not going through the gears.
If you're an owner, let me know your expierence. If not, let me know what you have and how close it is to what I'm looking for.
Thanks for the help.

You know how people say "Its your $$ and "Your Car" get what YOU LIKE & I fully agree.. if you have to drive it I'm sure you don't want to be annoyed by unwanted "Drone" .. so here is where I'm gonna get banned from this thread... 
I drag race my C6 almost every weekend (March through Nov) I have a tune by Cartek, CAI, and a full set of long tube KOOKS Headers with the X pipe etc... etc..My exhaust is all Kooks back as far as the muffler.. then I left the STOCK mufflers on it..
My reasons are I have to drive almost exactly 100 miles to the closest track (Thats 100 miles ONE WAY).. I race at Englishtown Raceway Park or Lebanon Vally and in the summer after a long "HOT" day at the track the last thing I want to hear is an exhaust that is too loud for my liking.. I want ABSOLUTELY NO DRONE at any RPM..
The car is pretty much stock and its run in the 11s & I'm happy with my ET and MPH so I won't screw with my mufflers to gain 3-5 more HP I turn on my CD player & AC is set on 68 deg and I'm cool and comfortable even if I had a bad day and lost early in eliminations...
To those of you who like LOUD I say "Go for it"

Just installed a used Corsa Sport exhaust that I bought off a forum member here. It's perfect. I wouldn't mind having electric cutouts for extra nastiness but for given the space constraints I really like these. Whisper quiet on the highway and perfect on startup, acceleration, and deceleration.

Corsa exhaust systems are specifically engineered not to drone. Corsa tests them before each production run and go back to the drawing board if they hear any drone. Ask anyone around with a set of them, you'll find they don't have any complaints with drone 
I would recommend 'em definitely. They sound great, they look great.
Akrapovics..
Sexy exhaust systems for sure (love those carbon tips), and good sound.. But overpriced sums them up quite nicely. Screw that noise
