Default Corsa FTMFW ***VID added***

Hey guys. I know the Corsa is widely looked over because of it's price tag so not many people have heard it in person on an f-body before. I've had a 2OTL, LM1, TSP TD's (with Magnaflow bullets), GMMG, and Magnaflow on this and a few other Camaros before and this Corsa is the absolute BEST sounding cat-back I've ever owned. I found it for $500 and sold my Magnaflow for $230 so for $270 I picked this up. My car has Pacesetter LT's, ORY, and the Corsa with a Speed Inc. baby cam and it sounds perfect. I'd get a vid but it's pouring outside. I'll post pics and a vid tomorrow.

Corsa is my favorite. I with they made a nicer kit for my vette but the 2.5 pipes just arent big enough.

Got a steal on the catback. congrats

Not a fan of the corsa, I had one with the pro tips and it had a very nasty bullet sound. I had a forged 347-kooks 1-7/8- kooks ypipe- 3" cutout. Sounded like I had a cherry bomb, at regular speeds it was nice but as soon as I got on it the thing was just embarrassing. I am also in for the "good" video....

On a side note... I posted on another thread about cutout's and I remembered how free flowing the corsa is. I did a dyno with the corsa and a 3" cutout and I only gained 1hp and 3Lb ft of tq with the cutout open. That lets you know the corsa is very good and getting the air out.

Dam bro, I'm glad I waited. What a nice setup, sounds so sexy. What ate your cam specs?

Thanks man. I have no idea about the cam. I'm the 3rd owner of the car and the guy I bought it from (who has owned it since 2006) said the original owner had Speed Inc. spec him a cam and did the install/tune for him. All he could remember was that it was a 22X/22X. It made 411rwhp with an LS6 and TD's. It has a LS1 intake back on it now; I guess at some point one of the other 2 owners decided to let the LS6 go. Thanks again.

Maybe, lol. I might shoot another vid of me driving by or something in the near future. I didn't want to rev at the time because there were some people in the street with a little girl I didn't want to scare.
