Don't bother arguing with Ed. He knows everything and you're an idiot for challenging his superior intellect.
Notice how he says "speaking from real world experience" (meaning, his own) to validate himself and his opinions, but when someone else says the same thing (like me - I had Corsa Sports with XYZ mods and my car droned HORRIBLY) he calls you out as a liar and to prove it.
Hypocrites annoy the hell out of me.
And Ed, if you know anything about drone, you know it's not about SOUND. It's about RESONANCE. You can't "record" drone. Video devices and phones can only record sound levels, not resonance. That super low hum and pounding you feel in your ear drums when the car drones? Ya, you can't record that. Believe me, I've tried. I made a few videos and posted them on my Youtube channel. Nothing comes across in the videos, and I have high quality recording equipment.
So please, just respect others' REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE (your words) with Corsa's and drone and stop making them out to be liars.
(And no one here is saying drone is prevalent with Corsa's. For MOST cars and MOST setups, Corsa's have no drone and work perfectly. But for some, like me, they are just as bad as any other system out there due to the specific mods I have.)

I have cross sports cutback currently they are attached to the stock mid-pip and stock headers. I don't hear anything that resembles drone - at any RPM. They are quiet at cruising speed but make some nice noise when getting on it.
Eventually, I'll get some headers and. mid-pipe added, but I like them and would purchase again.

Who has these and are you pleased with them? More specifically, any drone at highway speeds? Chip, I know your opinion so let others weigh in. Love the start up and exceleration but just do not want drone.
I have you tubed this to death. Never find the highway speed sound.
Thanks.

I can tell you this, my last Vette was a 08 Convertible with NBB exhaust and I left it open all the time. The Corsa's did not make any more noise or drone than the NBB! Of course the NBB closed was much more quiet! I looked all over the back of my Corsa's and I saw no markings, I did not crawl underneath.

I just bought a 09 Convertible. I picked the car up in Alabama and drove it to Nashville. It has Corsa's on it but I do not know which model? The installation instructions were with the car but they cover all models.

Great exhaust system. Sounds great (very Ferrari though so be aware), lighter than my stock duel mode, clearly of higher quality SS, and makes more power too (but not much more).
The issue I have is I genuinely wish it was quieter when I was full throttle. With catted headers and the roof off it is freakin' ear splitting loud.
