Another successful Corsa Xtreme install
I just installed my Corsa Xtreme this past weekend and all I can say is WOW. I guess I have a little more to say, first of all I would like to thank all the boards out there that gave me the research that I needed to decide on these. The first ride that I took I thought I might have made a mistake and that they were too loud. The second time I went out it was much better, probably me getting use to the change. My setup is stock and a manual. I get little to no drone (you know it's back there but not in an annoying way) and still gets plenty loud on WOT (enough to make the interior vibrate a little). There is a little more "burble", not sure how to write that sound, than I thought but am slowly getting use to it and starting to like it.
Overall from what I have seen it is a great exhaust and have no discrepancies in workmanship with it so far. Install took me approx 3.5 hours alone mainly due to the time that it took to align them and getting the connection to the H-pipe to fit. Total weight increase over stock is 6.6Lbs.

Corsa X-tremes should be a full 10-15 lbs lighter than stock.

Yes, the corsas are heavier, I was expecting this since every post that I have read say they are heavier. From what I hear the sports are even heavier. I weighed each piece 3 times and got the same exact weight no matter how I positioned them. It makes since to me that they are heavier if you look at the design inside of them. There is more metal, they are just more compact.
