Corsa Exhaust for C6
Did anyone else notice in the new Corvette Quarterly that Corsa is already advertising a system for the C6? I wonder if anyone has spoken with Corsa to get some information on how this exhaust sounds compared to their C5 system.
I have never been much of a fan of the Corsa's. I prever the deeper, throatier sound of the Borla Stinger or B&B Bullet. I do like the Corsa quality, though, and if they come out with a system more like the Borla or B&B I would be very interested. And I'm going to want to replace the exhuast within about ..... oh, lets say one day of when I get my car.

Jim, I have a theory that you can't get the low pitch / deep sounding exhaust (for the C5) without resonance. The Corsa sound is a little higher than most but to my knowledge, it's the only one with absolutely no resonance. I will likely be putting a Corsa system on mine. The construction qualty of my Corsa system is also higher than the "other" brand I had and the tips stay aligned as well. The other system would not stay aligned.
Hey, I read the tech section.

Does the C6 exhaust really sound that bad that you are going to change it out right away?
I have not heard one, but I do know the C6 exhaust at least does look good. Unlike the C5 stock exhaust tips that are horrible in my opinion. They are just like the Cadillac tips

Listened to a C6 while the engine was running, had a ride and drove one, and it's almost impossible to hear the exhaust.
Would love to put a pair of flowmasters on the rear. It was back with my 92' when I had a Vette that sounded good (to me). The 97', 00', and 02 ZO6 I could never get to sound like a nice deep V8 Corvette. Tried many exhaust systems too!
Maybe this will be our big chance!!!

I talked to Corsa about a C6 system last week. They are working on one now and I won't be surprized to see it available sometime in the fall. It will give the car a more noticeable exhaust sound while maintaining Corsa's standard of no resonance inside the car.

Thanks for the input, Tom. I bought my Bullets from you when they first came out. When my C6 arrives, I may be in touch with you again

I currently have the B&B Triflo on my 02'. Not really too loud. Have a nice rumble when you pounce on the gas. How loud do you think the Corsa would be? Annoying? Also, does anyone know if by changing the exhaust will that decrease the HP output? My friend has a speed shop so I can dyno before and after but would like to get an idea before dropping 1000.00 on a system.
Thanks
