Default ready to pull trigger

After much debate, opinions offered by others, listening to sound bites and listening to many different real cars exhaust, I am ready to pull the trigger and buy a corsa pace car with the tiger shark tips. So far the best price I can fine is $1,299. Does anybody know of a better everyday price? Not a "if you order in the next 5 minutes" price. Than you in advance for anybody who replies.

I don't know if you've concidered this system but it's about $550.00 to your door. The sound video sounds just like it does on my car.

I've had these for 3 months I like them. I liked saving $700.00 + way better.

Keep an eye in the for sale threads also, never know what you may find there. The price you have found is about average I think.

If you've made your decision (and it sounds like you have) pull the trigger then.

That's not a bad price - and if that's what you've decided, I think you should go for it. I love my Pace Cars, and they sound even better now with long tube headers.

I bought Corsa Pace Car with Daytona tips (now discontinued) from this place:

http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/p-2...ies-tips-.aspx

They have the Corsa with pro tips for $1199 on their website. I don't know if the tiger shark tips are extra or not.

I was in the same boat asking questions about exhausts a few weeks ago, you will get endless opinions about different exhausts on here. at some point you will have to stop listening and decide on your own.

That is what I did with my exhaust and havn't regretted my decision

enjoy your new exhaust.

If you looking for a deal, it take patience. so far I spend $900 for LG Pros, $160 for a vararam B2, and straight up traded my Ti for Corsa Pace cars

Just keep an eye on the forums

This is my 2nd mod to my 2000, A4, vert. for my daily driver I have a black '78 that I have poured about $20,000 into, but I like to show that one...I still drive it hard. I put a ZZ4 in it and after the exhaust mod, slotted/drilled rotors and Z06 fog lamps plates (to ge the cool air into the dual cones) I plan on putting the fast burn heads and the hot cam kit into the '78. Parts are around $1500 and the guy who will do the work just did that to a ZZ4. The catalog indicates a 75 HP increase, but Joey said the ran it on a dyno before and after and picked up OVER 100 HP. So I know all about the addiction for which there is NO cure!!!!

If any of you were at Vettes in the Velley at Maggie Valley, NC, I was the black C# that took best in class....I was stunned.

thank you all for your input...my main concern on the nes exhaust is more noise for me, little drone for my onboard navigation system (wife).
