I love your thinking!!!

This set up is louder than a Z06 with the "muffler mod"? Seriously? It must be friggin louder than hell then. I better look around a bit more if it's louder, or as loud as what I have now. Sonofabich, I'm tired of looking...I'm not about to pay 2200 for the Akra set up. It's a matter of principle I suppose. I just can't do it.

The outlet valves on my mufflers default to the open position, even if I select the 'quiet' mode before shutting the car down. So when I start it cold, it's heard all over the neighborhood. I can't drive the car anywhere without people taking notice. Hell, I was called in to the police for "excessive speed" by a civilian, even though I was driving well within the speed limit. That wouldn't be so bad if I didn't live in a small town and have the only Z around.

What's the ballpark pricing on Corsa axel back's? Thanks.

Les

Southern Car Parts has them priced at $1599. If anybody else has a better price I'd like to see it. I'm considering a Corsa system myself.

At start up and idle, the Corsa does not seam to be nearly as loud as the modified muffler set up I have. High RPM loudness is debatable. Definitely a different tone, but not any louder. Probably not quite as loud. I think I'm just going to order the axle back and give it a whirl.

Amazon has it for less, with free shipping.

lol, as I have posted above, thats completely incorrect. Your judging based on a crappy cell phone cam with horrible sound (tons of interference).

I have first hand experience with both setups, and as I mentioned, the corsa is SIGNIFICANTLY louder - especially when paired with headers.

Michael_D

well you never said you had "first hand experience". now that you've shared that piece of information, I'll take your word for it and move onto something different.

Les

They show Corsa systems but not the one for the Z06. Do you have any specific info on this?

Totally disagree.....at idle the corsa's are quieter then my unchanged setup and zr1 mufflers with the flap open. (as I stated before I can't stand the flap closed note). At full throttle past 4000rpm the corsa's are louder hands down.....

Keep in mind corsa's from a couple years ago are different internally then now so anyone interested should try and hear a more current set.

FYI....katech has the best price around hands down.

I grabbed some video with my go pro setup and wasn't happy with the audio. (polycarbonate cover really muffles things). So now I have my hd camera setup with a fat gecko mount off the back bumper that should do the trick......or at least film spectacular video of my nice hd camera falling off the back

I have the 1-7/8" Kooks LT headers with the catted x-pipe along with the Corsa Sports and can attest to the fact that they do indeed drone. If I can't solve the drone issues these headers are coming off.

His statements you quoted are over 7 years old, and I know Corsa did have at least one redesign which resulted in a lighter weight axle back system IIRC. So there could be something to that...
