Corsa Extreme with valves or Akrapovic?
Just found out that I can buy a Corsa Extreme exhaust for my 19Z that connects with factory exhaust valves. I know the Akrapovic exhaust also comes with the valves and cost a lot more. The only thing I don’t like about the Corsa is, I guess u have to do some cutting. With that said, what’s the best sounding between the 2? Thanks in advance

Sound is subjective ...

Then paid a guy 400.00 to pull them together & tig a piece to hold them 8 inch apart to be able to put them onto the headers. It works & no leaks at all & sounds really great in S & TR mode... Robert

There are no Corsa exhausts that retain the factory axle back.
The Akrapovic does retain the factory valves and is a direct fit.
The Akrapovic is the best sounding.. Full titanium is LOVELY!!
Contact us for pricing!

As another user suggested sound is subjective. I've heard both in person and the nod goes clearly to Akra in my honest opinion. I would recommend that you try to do the same as sound clips don't do these systems justice.

You can buy four sets of Corsas with the price of the akrapvoki.
I have it and it sounds bad ***.
Go with Corsa

In the video below from LHT Performance in Florida, they use a 2017 Z06 M7 & install an Akrapovic exhaust system at one point while they have their custom made titanium X-pipe on the car. But the video is mainly comparing a stock, Corsa, Borla, & their custom made titanium X-pipe & what kind of power they put down on the dyno back to back. You can get a pretty good idea what they sound like along with the Akrapovic exhaust. They also list the weights of all of the X-pipes.
