My car came with a corsa exhaust system. I love it. But thats pretty cheap for a c5 catback. Whats the weight and power gains???

It is the borla XR1 system. They used to be $800 new when this one was purchased. It is now $754, from

http://www.xmsengineering.com/exhaust/

Scroll down the page until you see

Borla XR1 Exhaust- 97-04 Corvette C5/Z06

That will give you a description of it. It is a really good sounding system!!!

I will get them cleaned up before I ship them but here is a picture of them on the car. The ground effects are also being sold....

I am not exactly sure of the weight... Power wise, with a near stock C5 you usually don't pick up much power with just swapping the catback. Maybe a few hp, but the sound difference is why most people swap. Stock C5's are pretty quiet..
