Default Corsa Exhaust

Im getting my Corsa Exhaust in about 2 weeks.

What do you guys thank? Is this a good exhaust for the CTS-V.

My last car had the Long tube header with Corsa exhaust.
That car sounded mean at WOT. Stupid loud but I loved it.
Here a video of the car. The tranmission just took a **** when I took this video. Car was making around 620 RWHP

I dont have it, I have a Magnaflow Cat Back.

But from what I have heard, Corsa is a very good system with or with out LT. The only reason I did not go with Corsa was money. The cheapest Corsa system I could find was around 1,000 bucks, while the Magnaflow was only 670 Shipped.

Drop the resonator and get an x pipe with some Kooks.

I have a set of Kooks coated 1 3/4 with cats, connected to a stock exhaust. I am extremely pleased with it. It has a stealthy burble at idle and cruise, then has a nice performance sound when the throttle is dropped. If I were to change the catback, I'd swap just the mufflers to Magnaflow units. The Corsa is heavier than the stock exhaust.

Magnaflow. For the price it's the best out since you're not getting much gain out of any exhaust. And I liked the deeper sound better.

I prefer less cabin noise, so I'm running the full Corsa system. It's very quiet on the inside, even more so than stock.

On the outside at full throttle, it's a different story even with cats behind the Kooks, it shrieks at WOT.

I'm running the full Corsa with LT's. Its extremely nice for daily driving... really quiet inside the cabin. I actually drove a buddy all the way to Dallas and he didn't realize I had an exhaust (I was soft-footing it the whole way tho).

But when you the roll down the back windows and give it full throttle man does this car sound pissed! It sounds fantastic outside the car even at idle, or throwing a few rev's... you'd just never know it sitting inside the car

It's done.
I'm loving the sound. Love the popping on down shift and the sound at start up.

Here some pictures of the install saturday.









The Katech Short Throw Shifter installed too.

Very true!! I usually want to hear it all the time but it's nice when I have a headache or something and I can just be easy on her and not really hear a thing!!
