Default Corsa Sport for sale $899

I have my two week old Corsa Sport for sale.

My wife just doesn’t like it. She drives the car often and now refuses to do so with the exhaust on. She thinks it cheesy.

PM me.

Could you define "cheesy" for us?

I am laying down about $1,000.00/installed for this VERY SAME exhaust soon and would like to hear more!!

She doesn’t like any aftermarket exhaust on a car at all. She doesn’t want people to look at her.

It really doesn’t matter to me. The car did run a 12.7 with the stocker on. I'm happy with that.

Oh, OK, now this is getting clearer.

"Cheesy" = buyer's remorse for an impulse purchase/installation.

I just put them on this weekend. They are just as quiet in the interior as stock. The tone is different. A more deeper V8 sound. I recommend them for anyone wanting a richer sound.

I too am thinking about going with the Corsa Sports, BUT my wife drives the vette often and she has warned against the car sounding like the neighbors 5.0 Mustang. Never had to worry about this in the past but because she drives the car.......

I also notice that on my C6 it takes another 500-1000rpms
to really explode vs. my C5. It's an overall much smoother deeper sound across the powerband.

This is a very serious condition, but very rare, it only affects married men

No, I'm not dense; and neither are all the other posts teasing you about this.

You guys with wives get two new sounds when you install an aftermarket exhaust. First the great tone from your new shiney exhaust system, and second that obnoxious whine in your right ear from your wife in the passenger seat.
