Corsa Xtremes coming off
Well I installed the Xtremes on 12-14-07 and can't stand the burble and popping during decelaration. I didn't install the x-pipe but I don't believe it will make that big of a difference. For anyone looking for a set I would be willing to sell them at a good price. I will have them removed on Tuesday.

No need to be embarrassed. Gear heads will recognize the sound of a free flowing exhaust and love it. Non performance types can be educated as they are encountered. Regardless, if you dont like it then nothing else needs be said. Its gotta go.

A good tune can get rid of a ton of the pops, might want to look into that if the car hasnt ben tuned yet.

Sounds like you better stay with the stock exhaust. I've NEVER heard a catback on a C6 that didn't do that. It has nothing to do with the Extremes. Try the B&B Bullets if you think the Extremes are bad...

It seems very little to be gained from a cat back exhaust. I would rather have a quite ride on long trips and listen to a cd than the constant burble and popping.

I hope you realized that the sound level changes when it gets broken in, you should give it some time and install an X-pipe which does decrease the popping when decelerating.
But then again I like loud and want performance, I think in your case a ZO6 or NPP exhaust is what you need.

however I don't like it really loud. I have the Sports which are just perfect for me but I would like a little more burble and pop.
