Corsa catback on a cammed LT1?

I'm looking for sound clips of Corsa catback on a cammed LT1.

My setup is going to be ported heads/intake with GM 847 and O/R LTs and Y. I've heard many things about Corsa, but would love to hear clips and more comments.

Please clue me in. Thanks!

I do indeed disagree, its a wonderful exhaust, stainless, polished tips and never had an issue. I actually took it off my LT1 car and reused for my now LS1 car.

Here is a dyno of mine.

This sucker is LOUD, the vid doesnt do it justice.

Schweet97Z and BlackScreaminMachine I actually have search multiple threads and your two cars are some of the ones I've found with Corsa. Thank you for responding.

Schweet97Z: I have looked into your for sale thread and have been eyeing it for a while. My only setback is price. At this time I'm just trying to decide whether it's worth it or not. In my opinion so far it is, but it's going to put a HUGE hole in my budget, which is already almost spent, for my project. Funny thing I actually have both of your sound clips saved from a few weeks ago because I too am going with the GM 847 cam.

I like it but its pricey and a big problem is with that price, the mufflers fall apart on the inside and rattle...

Do a search in the LS1 bolton section about this

Yes it may well be expensive, but it is one of the best sounding Y routed exhaust

True dauls are the best, hands down!! I love the way my LS1 screamed with them
