Default Corsa Exhaust

A little feedback, I had West Coast Corvettes install the Corsa sport with x pipe on my C6 Z51.

WOW. On ignition, she barks with a nice crisp pop of exhaust, beautiful growling sound through all gears, snappy exhaust resonance. On the highway or just cruising, quiet and subdued.

When she is opened up, itis a wonderfully intense sound.

Highly recommended exhaust system.

Had corsa's on my Z-51 coupe....wonderful!

I was thinking of putting them on my wifes convert. They are coming out with a new system but the cost is to high for me. $1600!!!

Dennis.....please elaborate on this. I have a stock C6 and was planning on installing either the LPE or Vararam intake, LG long tube headers and.....a Corsa Sport Exhaust. Did you have a bad experience with the Corsa exhaust? Thx

I have Kooks Long tubes on my Z51 with xpipe and Corsa Sport exhaust. No problems, so far. I love the sound too.

Maybe Dennis owns stock in Borla? I'm due my Stainless Works headers and Corsa Sport in about two weeks (waiting for 1000 miles to dyno it) ....but one worry I don't have is the Corsa's failing....

Corsa, B&B, and GHL all have enviable records for quality and service. Your muffler is not going to fall off. If you like the sound then you made a good choice.

I have 6000 mile on my Corsas, Dynatech headers and X-pipe. I have had no problems and the car sounds something like the C6R's. No drone. I couldn't be happier.

Dittos on elaborating. On my second vette with Corsas. An excellent product: 12,000 on my C5, and 3,500 on my C6 with zero problems. But with any product, there is unfortunately a distribution curve, so we'd like to hear specifics if you have some.
