Default Installed Corsa, it's AWESOME

I had the SLP Dual/Dual on the Cannibal but it was too tame for the beast. Derty sold me his Corsa for a GREAT price and delivered EVERYTHING as stated. He's a great guy to deal with and I thank him for such a great deal.

The car sounds MUCH better now. A much throatier note at idle (you can tell there's something lurking behind the exhaust tones). No drone, rasp or resonance in any gear, rpm, etc. To top it off, the Premium 3.5" Pro Tips are the best looking tips for the F-body, hands down. They are PIMPALICIOUS!

I love it. Thanks for such a great deal, Derty.

Cool, I'm glad you like it. When you decide you don't like it, I'll buy it back. I'm going to be putting my car back to street if I get project D2 underway next year.

I bet it sounds good with that 427!!!
My friends cammed LS1 sounds really good with the Corsa cat back, plus the tips look great! I think those and the B&B's look the best!

Photos? Those tips might be "pimpalicious" but damn they weigh a TON each. Corsas sound great though.

Smilin, it's still pretty quiet, not as loud as I anticipated but it has the most elegantly addressed exhaust tips out there.

Quiet? It sounded like it was damn well gonna rip someones head off when I switched over to the 382SR! If you are looking for something more violent sounding, try some Borla XR1's instead. When are you going to post some video/audio clips of it?

Derty, it doesn't sound anything like the way yours did for some reason. It's sounds some what "congested" compared to the way yours did, lol.
