Default SOLD - Corsa exhaust: NoVA/MD/DC

SOLD!!

I have a Corsa exhaust, fits '04-07 CTS-V's. The resonator was replaced less than a year ago, so no worries about the ticking/rattle that some older systems develop.

Tips are in good shape, I cleaned them up a fair bit. Laser etched "CORSA", not the raised letters. Pipes are typical that brownish color stainless turns over time.

Clamps are a couple months old, I bought them new when I got this system, as the originals were heavily corroded. All clamps replaced with stainless Torca clamps.

They fit very close to the diff carrier and the rear sway bars. I don't like the close fit.

I also don't like the attention they attract. The sound is unreal, very raspy. They sound incredible, and the burble/popping on drop-throttle is awesome. I love the sound, but I don't like that everyone around me can tell when I am on the gas. Which is why I bought used so I could try them out.

I don't want to ship as I have nothing to put them in, so I'd like to try a local sale first. I'd like to get $600, as that's what I paid, plus I spend about $70 on clamps and a fair bit of elbow grease cleaning the tips.

I can grab some pictures and will update the post, but just wanted to put it out there. I'm in Loudoun, but would be willing to drive a reasonable distance to meet you.

Finally got unlazy and took some pictures:

I put the stock exhaust back on (mufflers have been gutted). No headers. I prefer the car quiet when cruising. I've done the loud car thing on some Corvettes, and I'd prefer the Caddy to be more like a "normal" car. I also ditched the KDW's for some Pilot SS's, much less tire drone now. The car is all around fairly civil, but still a lot of fun.

Also, it's a heavy car, it's just not gonna be that fast. Having headers and a ripping exhaust aren't going to make it much faster. I do like the idea of the 20hp, but the reality is it'll still be a slowish car.

I'd consider something like high-flow cats and a FAST or ported intake. But that is pretty pricey for what you gain (especially vs $250 Pacesetters). And the car is under warranty, why mess with all that for fairly minor improvements.

No, I'd really rather not deal with shipping if I don't have to.

Will you be around this weekend? I'm thinking I might come up and take a look. I'm down in Alexandria, so not too far away.
