Default Corsa...

Hey, being that I am in between a Tahoe and an Expedition, I have started to look at mods for both...I have been to corsa's website, and their exhaust clip for the 5.3 motor sounds sick as hell...but is it really that loud? I like the idea of no cab drone, but that takeoff and rev sounded nice...I have never heard a corsa in person...I had loudmouth with ORY and LTs on my camaro, and I know that was super loud...how comparable in loudness is the corsa to that under wide open throttle? any other catback recommendations...I am looking for just catbacks...I am not gonna have money for a true dual setup and long tubes for a while, so I want a really nice sounding catback on stock manifolds...please don't tell me to do a search, I don't have a lot of time right now...

http://www.ls1sounds.com/ is a good site for finding what it sounds like, although most are from an F-Body's so wont be quite the same.

As I say its a different engine to yours but you can tell the difference between the sounds and it may help, the first video is with the stock exhaust system.

Corsa is top notch, and will scream when you get on it. Been thinking about pulling the trigger myself.
