Corsa Exhaust Owners
Im about to buy new exhaust and like the sound of the Corsa on videos I have watched on Youtube but Im concerned about drone. Is there a lot different between the drone of the Extreme System and the Sport System?

I have the Sports and have ridden in a C6 with the Extremes.
If concerned go with the Sports. I found the Extremes to be just that, extreme.
Neither one really has what I consider to be drone, like with the fart can mufflers on the rice cars.
By extreme I am not implying drone, but they are loud. Leaving the house early the morning will heard.

Corsa sport on my 2010 and the sound is awesome. No drone, not even very noticeable while driving normally, but they let you know they are there when you decide to get on it!! Idling, they have a sharp, crisp sound when you listen from outside the car near the rear end. A very unique sound.

I just installed Sport's on my '07 Base - the first time it fired up I thought I was in heaven. Man what a difference over stock! Sounds awesome at startup and like others - when you punch it, everyone around you knows you're coming. 
But just cruising around, even at higher speeds, no drone. Perfect combination for my taste. No regrets whatsoever.

Sport here on an 08. Can't even hear it at interstate speeds.
As others have said, above 3k RPM it becomes noticeable.
at 5K RPM, it becomes the worlds best music!
..just typing this post makes me want to drive.

Or with cam headers and corsa. I've had people jump. I once had three late teenage girls scream and actually run when I fired up one time in a parking structure. My car's rpm spike up to 2k or so whenever you start it.

I have EXTREMES on my 2011 GS A6. There is a little drone when you around 1500 to 1800 RPM when going up a slight incline and just trying to hold the current speed, most people would call this lugging the engine. I just shift down 1 gear and it goes away as it moves the RPM up. But what a sweet sound like the others say when you are accelerating. Some days the drone bugs me . To each his own.

Corsa sport....
I have the Corsa sport bough it used and was on a 2008 z and sound nice bot not too laud (don't like too loud) took them home and install them in my newly heads and cam 2011 gs with off road x pipe headers, it got laud but orchestra beautiful.
So for those who will go to heads and cam later with off road x pipes be best to go with the Sport cause will be more like the extremes later but in my never to be humble opinion will sound better.
