Default Corsa Variable Exhausts

I'm interested in one of the Corsa VARIABLE SOUND LEVEL exhausts since they allow you to retain the valves for quiet or loud. Yes they are pricey.

Does anyone have experience with one if these? If so I'd like to hear about your experience.
Also, what's the difference with AFM CAT-BACK vs without AFM? I currently have Z51 with the performance exhaust so wasn't sure which is better.

Hey sorry no one has responded...I am interested in this exhaust for the same reason and would like to hear some feedback from any owners. I live in a Condo and to be a good neighbor I need to be able to close my valves after cold start and when cruising through the development.

I think when it says AFM cat-back it means it has the ability to handle the AFM mode without throwing a Cell light...this can be bypassed but if so can cause drone if your car goes to the V4 mode. At least that is my understanding...

I've got the Lingenfelter Corsa version on order, but it currently says backordered until 2/25. Said it was in stock on the website, but not true. Once I'll have it, I'll give you some feedback.

I have the Lingenfelter Corsa. I love it, it was cheaper from them since they did all the design and dyno work. Its same quietness as stock with valves closed and its 9 db louder than stock with the valves open. Sounds awesome. Not too loud but just right.
