you won't see any performance difference with 3", just maybe a little change in sound. I wouldn't wait, and Corsa has an awefully good reputation on the Vettes.

Corsa Sports don't really meet my sound likes but there is no resonance across the spectrum.

I have had Borla and Corsa Sport system on vehicles. Corsa Sport on My C6 is tops. Hands down. (IMO)

The Borla on my 96 LT4 C4 has a lot of drone inside; no drone with the Corsa Sports on my 05 Z51 C6--BTW, also has Corsa x-pipe.

I have Corsa Sports with headers. They are pleasingly loud at WOT and provide only a faint purr at highway speed. There is no drone under any scenario.

they didn't meet my sound preference/expectations either, thats why I got rid of them and went w/B&B RTE66 system. I do agree they are resonance free though

them to be.

I've got Corsa Touring. A bit soft on the ears but with headers, not to bad.

So I take it that even with headers, the corsa's still don't have any drone?

Probably not unless you are going to do some serious engine mods.

Headers have no effect on sound.

Corsa Sports are my choice. I have Borlas on another car and I must say I prefer the Corsa's sound hands down. The no drone thing is a real big plus

I disagree. Mine definitely has a deeper tone and slightly more volume with headers and the stock mufflers. There is also that unmistakable header tick that is not heard with the thick stock manifolds.
