Default Anyone using corsa exhaust?

I really like the way that the corsa performance 3" catback looks. I was wondering if anyone is using this exhaust and what kind of power they got. Also does anyone have a sound clip of a car with this exhaust? Any help is greatly appreciated

I have it and love it....Its a bit quiet without headers, but still sounds real good. With headers it sounds great and screams.

There are a few members using this exhaust, I would say its one of the top 5 choices.

As for power, you won't realize any power gains over another catback, they all do about the same. Its really the look and sound when choosing a ctaback. Without a doubt corsa has the blingest tips, and the tame exhaust note was what I was looking for.

Thanks for the help. I was looking for something a little tame sounding but still packed a punch... and yes they are very pretty

Corsa is what your looking for then. Enjoy the sound, I know I do every single time, and I have had it for over a year

I love my Corsa and the premium tips. Best looking exhaust and with headers I get more comments about my race engine sound than anything else. Yet, as long as I back off the rpms then it just purrs like a tiger.

Yet, I am considering selling them to go to true duals; not for sound or looks (obviously) but for the use of an X-pipe over y-pipe.

I was going to go with a Corsa myself. I love the sound. I went with the Loudmouth because it was the best performance for the dollar. I'll probably switch to a Corsa when I do long tubes though.

Thanks for all the help guys! Apparently this is just the exhaust I want. A nice purr at idle and sounds rowdy when you get on it.

You'll like the sound. I'll make a sound clip of it when I put headers on.

I just put Corsa on my car about 2 weeks ago and I love it! It is the best sounding catback IMO. It is really quiet at idle, yet screams when you give it a little gas. And the tips are the only ones I would ever put on my car, they are the absolute best looking tips on the market. Corsa is well worth the money!

I've had a Corsa cat-back on my Vette for about a year now. At first I was disappointed because it sounded rather tame. However, it really woke up after several hundred miles. To date, I am very satisfied with the system on the Vette.

When my wife picked up her 2002 TA WS6 CE last month, she wanted it to sound more muscular. I surprised her with "Another Brand" cat-back, but ended up with severe resonance above 2000 RPM (especially at Hwy speeds - 80 mph). A week later the the first one was removed and the Corsa was installed. I found that the fit and finish was good, and that the sound was excellent, with no annoying resonance. Both my wife and I are pleased. I shoulda had brand loyalty.

Here's a couple of clips recorded the day following installation (right click, save as):

Im not a fan of corsa, with the large dual 3.5" tips it looks pretty guady in my opinion. But hey everybodies got their own. I have a SLP Loudmouth I sort of like it but plan on going to something else.
