Just put it on 408 and I love it. I think it sounds great. Nice sound at idle and screams at full throttle. I have heard one on a cam and heads vette as well and it sounded good on it as well

My heads/huge cam/ kooks lt w/ORY is loud all the time and is rediculous loud at WOT

FWIW, the first time I heard it was on a stock car and didnt care for it.... couldnt tell a difference between stock exhaust at idle but it was loud when you romp on it

I have it, I've been through four or five different setups, and I couldn't be happier. It is nice and defined, choppy, and burbly at idle. My stock-cammed LS1 sounds almost like its running a 224. It's not too loud at idle, but you definitely hear it. When you're cruising it's deep and smooth, not that loud, no drone, so that's awesome. When you go WOT, it's loud as ****....because I have LT's/ORY, it's always smooth, defined, not extraordinarily deep and rumbly, but midrangey, almost like NASCAR. I love it. I've heard nothing but compliments.

I had one and did not care for it. In my opinion it did not have that "Muscle Car" sound I wanted. Quality of the muffler was questionable?? My .02 cents

Sounds really mean with cam/headers/y-pipe. But I still want a gmmg when I get my ls1.

I switched from my Loudmouth to the Corsa...and its the best switch I could've made. First off, they are the best looking tips for our cars, hands down. Secondly, I love the way the car sounds. No drone inside, and its definetely louder than stock at idle, even with stock cats/manifolds. Mine got louder after a couple hundred miles...at highway speeds, it sounds great. Not a cheap, crappy sound like the loudmouth...but a nice, smooth, agressive exhaust tone. I would HIGHLY recommend it

I thought it was the best made exhaust and the fit was perfect. Personally, it was a little loud for me, though, but I was running long tubes with no cats. The mufflers still have some problems with the baffles coming loose, but they are much better than a few years ago. I also ended up having to weld it where it goes over the axle. They give you clamps, but they don't hold for crap. Just have it welded there if you get one.

I like how quiet the inside of the car is. After adding H/C to my LS1 I still am able to DD it everyday. Has a nice deep sound and roars at WOT. It's a distinctive sound that no other catback comes close to copying. It's a little too raw for me with an ORY but with HF cats it's pretty sweet. Flows pretty well as my QTEC In the I pipe is only worth 4rwhp @ 5rwtq. I do believe one of the internal baffles in my muffler is coming apart as I have noticed an exhaust related rattle the last few times I started the engine. I'm screwed if it's the culprit as I bought the muffler new off ebay for $200 and don't have an original receipt.
