First Corsa Experience
I experienced my first Corsa exhaust in person. It's volume.....was the same as my NPP on a warm start and idle. I did not hear a rev or any drivebys. How does Corsa stand apart from the NPP? My experience makes me think about going with a muffler delete for more volume, but drone wouldn't be worth it.
If you have any knowledge of Corsa please chime in.

I really like the factory system in Track mode… it sounds great at idle. When pulling in the garage with the exhaust in track mode it has the best rumble. To me it sounds like and old school pre cat muscle car.
Another reason I use Z mode all the time to set brakes, steering and engine/transmission in Sport, suspension in comfort and exhaust in Track.

I started a thread on this a bit before you today as well - I'm looking at the borla s type or the corsa with npp...haven't been able to find anything local to listen to so all I can do is watch videos....
Hoping some of the members here have the exhaust and can share personal experiences, what the liked and didn't like vs expectations, etc.

You likely heard it in Tour mode which Corsa is actually rated at 1 dB quieter than the stock NPP. In Sport/Track modes with the NPP valves are open, she gets pretty loud as it's basically a straight-through design.
Corsa and Borla ATAK will be equivalent in volume when the valves are in the open position.

When you say stock do you mean stock or NPP?

@vabulldog was nice to meet with you today and let you hear and experience what the ATAK sounds like in person versus videos.
Best of luck and let me know which system you end up with.

His reactions, smiles, and grins told me he was 100% going to buy the ATAK (sorry Corsa).
Hearing one in person helps make the decision; either to buy or not.
I told him that I was 100% sure I was getting a Corsa but not being able to hear one, in person, was a deal breaker for me. I got to hear just about everything else on the market, and put some faith into guys like @Kracka , all of whom helped in assuring me that I was not going to be disappointed in the ATAK. There were 100% right. ZERO regrets.
Part of what makes this forum and the C8 community so great!!!
