Quick Exhaust Question
I had a Nassau Blue C5 with the Corsa Pace Car edition. I recently purchased a 2007 C6 and it seems "lacking" in terms of self-announcement.
I really liked the deep, and racy sound of the Pace Car system and would like something comparable in terms of sound.
With all that established, I listened (carefully might I add) to the sound clips on the Corsa website. I like the idea of the "Extremes", but it appears that the Sports have a deeper, more rich sound. I'm not sure this is accurate because the sound clips aren't exactly coincident, in terms of what's happening, and worse I'm listening on a laptop.
Can I assume from my listening that for this purchase if I'm looking for a deeper, bold, full sound that the Sports are the way to go. Or has my handicap for speakers led me astray?
I'm ready to start swinging wrenches, but I just wanna make sure they're going in the right direction.

The Sports are probably the closest equivalent to the sound of the C5 Pace Car exhaust. You really need to attend a local vette GTG and hear the different exhausts "in person" though.

I had the same when I had my C5 and when I got the C6, the corsas sounded VERY different than the C5 version. (high note,crispy)
for deep sound I went with GM Performance Exhaust Off-Road and I love they way they sound.
they have to version the offroad or the touring.
There's a sound clip of them somewhere....but I believe they are made by borla.
So may also consider borla sport or touring.
by the way theres also a new sport Corsa that seems desent but I havent paid too much attention; i'll have to listen to it again.

I'm going for sort of a muscle car, without the 4-hour cam duration, kinda sound. I really, really enjoyed the Pace Car Exhaust, and I was sufficiently impressed by the Corsa build quality. I feel compelled to stick with what I couldn't break on the last Vette. Quality, fit, and finish all looked good, so anyway I'll likely allow Corsa to win the Bid, I'm just worried that the extremes are not a comparable sound.
I'm working the Search button...
