Default Finally got to hear my Corsa exhaust

Well I've had the car for a few days now, but never really got to hear the exhaust from behind, as I've always been driving it. Finally tonight I got to hear it, and then had my dad record it so I could share.

Really enjoying the sound of this exhaust system.

The first time I heard my from outside the car was on Nick Williams' dyno (in an enclosed building). It was amazing, the contrast between the interior cabin sound, and outside the car.

Seriously. Inside the car it sounds nice and purrs. Outside it sounds way more powerful. It's cool realizing what other people are hearing as you drive by.

Sounds good.

Is the rest of your exhaust system stock?



I have a Corsa Track on my Viper and there is basically no drone at highway speeds, yet it screams at WOT!(High-Flow cats as well)

I have a Corsa and no drone at all.

Underpass + WOT = Loud as ****

Rest of the system is stock. Rest of the car is stock for that matter minus the intake and shifter.

love the sound, HATE the price. Way to expensive IMO. Especially since your taking off a stainless steel 2.5" system anyways.

The Corsa exhaust is worth every penny.
Go look at the stock exhaust and see all the crappy bends.

When I get home I will take pictures of the stock exhaust?

Not knocking the system, i love the way my car sounds, and i guarantee i wouldnt gain 2hp swapping the stock system(high flow kooks cats, stock resonator, no mufflers) over to a 1200 dollar corsa.

I dont blame people for spending it on there own car, i just cant believe corsa charges so much.

Get rid of the corsa resonator and put a X-pipe. It will sound even better with no drone.
