Default Corsa idle vid

Corsa Sport off a Z06 from a friend trading their car in. I don't have cats and it sounds awesome with the Pfadt headers. My buddy said it reminded him of an exotic V8 when I hauled *** past him. Where my modded Z06 mufflers were deep and "Nascar" sounding, I would say the Corsa is more "Ferrari" sounding. Which I like. Sounds very pissed off wide open.

I had those on my C6 that I recently sold. Really liked them. Fairly tame at cruise with a wicked idle and mean at WOT. They were much louder on a cold start. Calmed down a bunch after they heated up. If my NPP's on the new one hold together, I'll keep 'em. If not, I'll find another set of Sports.

Clean??? I wash it maybe twice a month. Hence the plate DRTYC6.

That's one reason it's olive drab now. Black just didn't work living down a dirt road.

The funny part is I keep my engine bay pretty darn clean. I've seen some nasty C6 engine bays here in Arizona. If I can keep mine clean, those other people must not give a crap.

I know that life. My driveway for now is 1/8th mile of gravel and dirt. It turns to gravel and dust after about 3 days of no rain, especially in the summer. I usually wash it every 3-4 days lol. The filter gets cleaned every 2-3 weeks and engine bay every week. I'm so ready to have a concrete driveway again.

I looked for video clips before I bought the extremes n couldn't find any don't know if its my cam or wat but I wanted a more Aggressive tone than I have with the sports but Jons sound good to me...wonder if this bigger motor gonna give me what I'm looking for or should I just sell the sports while car is down n go ahead n get the extremes...car has cut outs n I usely ride round wit them open unless I'm trying to sneak up on some one.... wish I would have just followed my first mind n bought the bnb bullets.

A friend has Bullets and my setup w/Xtreme my car is noticeably louder. I had the offroad when I had Sport and it was pretty loud. Once I tired of the odor and switched back to high flow cats the sound was gone so I changed over to the Xtreme system and picked my sound back up. Xtreme w/offroad would basically be the same as running cut outs all the time and that would not be pleasant.
