Corsa exhaust are they worth 2x the price of the Flowmaster Force 2 exhaust?
A Corsa exhaust system for my 93 6SP vette is going to cost me ($1010.00) that's almost double ( $575.00 from Summit) the amount for a Flowmaster Force 2 exhaust, is the Corsa worth that amount? will the Corsa enhance the sale ability of my corvette when it comes time to sell her (hopedully that won't occur for many years) those chrome tips do stand out. Dose anybody have Pics of their 92-96 vette with one of these two exhaust installed if you would you be so kind and email them to me?

Depends on how much your ears are willing to take. Corsa is the only exhaust system that does not drone. But to me, it was too quiet....so I sold it and went with something different.

i have had the corsa on my car for about a year and i love them. the only problem i have with them is the resination. at a certain rpm it bad but they sound very good and they are stainless mandral bent pipes with no restiction in the pipe at all. i can see through every piece of pipe (no baffles).they wont never rust or have any color distortions, and if you have to take the pipes of the car for some reason the clamps the crimp the pipe, so that makes them just slide back off. hope this helps

Corsa is T304 and will never rust. the wall thickness is much greater than most other systems.
The system is very efficient and is THE quietest system available.
It is expensive... but if you value a lack of drone inside the cabin, it's the only way to fly.

I love my Corsa's...
I agree with the above post they are quiet, HOWEVER.. Gene with my new setup they are much louder due to the cam...
I bought mine at Mid America Motorworks that was the best place I found them at a great price.I think mine were aroun 899plus taxes...
They are all stainless great fitment clamps mandrel bends...
Worth every cent in my opinion...

You have a problem with resonance(resination) on the Corsa?...
You would be the only one.... Most complaints come from folks who think they are too quiet. And of course the fact that only one tip flows 99% of the exhaust..... But I suspect thats how they killed the drone, so I live with it.
They are a little quiet, still sound way better than stock and you can still hear yourself think in the cabin...
I think they sound great from outside the car.... I had my buddy make a couple of "fly-bys" at the shop... at part throttle and WOT. Ive had mine going on two years...I love 'em and cant wait to get some long tubes...
Edit
Oh yeah and Mid Americas 899 is the best price you will find ... A grand is too much...
Double Edit..Checked 'ye olde box-o-receipts
Its popularity (maybe SS prices too)must be moving the price up... I paid 799 on 3/24/04.... 830.98 to the door

I've not heard of any resonance problems with the Force II and they are indeed one sweet sounding system. I like them a lot, having heard them on a stock LT1. But I did not experience from inside the car. The Corsas are also very nice, that goes w/o saying. The Corsas are stainless of course so that accounts for the price difference. Soundwise, I don't think you'd be disappointed either way.

I bought a set of Magnaflow mufflers and Y pipe last fall. Mr. Mojo helped me save some $$$. Here is a note from him:
My buddy just bought a Magnaflow catback for his '88 from www.hottexhaust.com
use the coupon code "vetteforums" and get a sizeable discount.
The two mufflers and Y pipe cost me $435 delivered to the front door.
Hope this is helpful to you.

I have the flowmaster Force II, resonably quiet until you give it full throttle, sounds AWESOME then, absolutely ZERO droning from this system, highly recommended !!
