Default Corsa Exhaust

Does anyone have any experience with Corsa Sport Exhaust systems?
I am thinking of putting this on my car.

I see you've been a member for a while, possibly you don't read this forum very often. However I do have the Corsa Sports, along with LTH, h/c and cai. They sound awesome and no drone.Nice tone at idle and loud at WOT. They do have more of a Euro sound, don't if thats what you like. If you do a search for Corsa you will find hundreds of comments on them. Members here seem pretty satisified with them.

Use the search option at the top of the screen this question has been ask many many times. However I have Corsa Extremes on 07 6 man. with Corsa x-pipe. They are perfect to me (no headers ever) but with the factory h-pipe they had to much popping on decel. I had at one time put the Extremes on and removed because of the popping. So I called Corsa and they reccomended that their X- pipe would help the popping but that it will not totally eliminate it. It really did help mine the popping is much less hell even my wife likes it.

Thats not to bad since she drives a Honda Accord with the radio off?

It is the only exhaust system with NO drone. I am very happy with mine.

As others have mentioned, no drone. Also, fit and finish superb and I found the Corsa Sport easy to install.

I love my Corsa sport. It sounds great from inside and even better outside. No Drone... driving on the highway is great with this exhaust.

I have had Corsa Sports on 2 Vettes. One was a 05 6spd manual.

Good system no drone!

I just installed the corsa sport # 14169, this past weekend, on my '07 A6 vert and zero drone. I am ecstatic with this purchase. As some posters have stated, the note is a little louder at idle but at WOT it's music to the ears. Absolutely beautifull pipes and fit and finish are top notch.
The 14169 does not include the x pipe and only come with the pipes. One common occurence with the A6 is the decel blurble you will have, which to me sounds good as well. I know that the x pipe (part number 14127) will address the decel blurble but other than that I do not know what other benefits you'll have with the x pipe.
Someone, please chime in on the x pipe.

I have the sports also.

My preference is more subdued - so this is about as loud as I would want to go for a daily driver. Decent sound inside the cabin of an 07 coupe and sounds very good outside.

However the popping when letting off the pedal is exceptionally annoying. I don't know how it sounds outside but it definitely cheapens the "feel" of the exhaust to me. That would be my only complaint....

I don't know if that can be tuned out (ECM wise) or not.

I have the Corsa Touring package. A little quieter than the sport package. I love it. I have had a lot of comments about the stealth sound of the engine. Strong enough to hear it and it makes the stock engine sound great, but quiet enough that it doesnt wake up the neighbors. Unless you really get into it. Great overall sound. I love the system.

Corsa Sports System is great. I've had mine on for two and a half years and love it. Loud when you get on it, but no drone on the highway at cruise speeds. As far as the popping on decel is concerned, it's music to my ears.

I have em and love em. They will drone contrary to popular belief on a modded car. If you are unmodded they wont. Im modded and it has very slight drone at about 65 but some gears fixed that. They still sound awesome though.

Is anyone using Corsa's cross pipe? This is to those probably who haven't upgraded their headers.
