Default Corso perf. systems

Hey forum fanaticals, I have a quick question> Can someone please tell me what the Corso system provides over the stock equiptment and what is the cost and is it worth it. I have seen some talk on the benefits on performance but I just drive cars and practically nothing on performance details. By the way, I just recieved my build code(HTTRXW). I want to say that the forum has provided me with a wealth of information for my purchase.(Silver Z51,manual,XMS(hate the antenna) painted top-love the look.) Thanks all for the help.

Corsa...From what I've heard on the forum, it looks like they're more for sound and appearance than hp/tq.

With just the sport system only gains will probably be on 8-10 HP. Most people want the extra sound. Even most of the mags stated the C6 was a little too quiet in the low revs. I don't have mine to say yet, but several owners have expressed the desire for more sound.

Its for the sound. The stock system is very quite (you may like it that way) As is you'll have more horsepower then you'll ever need . Those horseower gains (5-10 or what ever) won't really be obvious. But get on the gas with those aftermarket exhaust systems and you'll think you got an extra hundred!!! (my Corsa sport is on order)

Its for sound but that's part of the visceral experience (are you experienced Jimi Hendrix 1967 I think?).That's why I bought Kook's Headers to go with my Corsa Sport,got the whole package.
