I'm either gonna get a Corsa or Borla X when I find a good deal on one. I like the idea of hearing it with the stock H first. That way I can hear what difference it makes.

I have the Pace Car system on my '98, but I do not have an X-Pipe (actually, I do have it, just not installed it yet). Yes, it has the "motor boat" sound at idle. It doesn't bother me.......in fact, I kinda like it, and I really like the sound at WOT, and the fact that it is quiet when cruising. I can't imagine that the X-pipe will change the idle sound very much...........maybe someone else will chime in with that answer.
Cannot comment on the x-pipe...
Oh, and I get such an immature kick out of all the popping on decel. Closest this old guy will ever get to owning a racecar

I have the Corsa Touring system on my 2000,with the X-pipe the motor boat sound is completely gone, car sounds sooo much better with the X-pipe, deeper rumble at idle, great sound when getting on it. I highly recommend the X-pipe, to me worth the money.

WPLJ: great site on your Mag Red Coupe... Great Color!!
I'm just about "sold" on the Corsa Indy's Pro Tips (axle back)... Not worried 'bout sounding like a boat--heck--I live near the Ocean anyway!!!
My current ones are stock--I'm pretty sure that these will be a big improvement--right??
Found 'em as low as $1099, free ship also... sound good??

Hay guys new to the forum. I just picked up a super nice 2001 yellow c5 from my step dad. It has lt's, xpipe, high flow cats and pace car exhaust. I thin kit sounds amazing. It is cammed and other stuff to but it does have the motor boat sound at idle. At cruise iyou can;t even tell it has exhaust and when you ask for a bit more it is there. I think the pace sounds amazing. All around i think the best exhaust. I also have the corsa system on my 08 tundra and it is amazing. Sounds great when you want it to and when you don;t it is fairly quiet. Just my 2 cents.

I have a Tiger Shark tipped Corsa Pace Car system on the way. I'm curious about the motor boat idle sound. All the sound clips I have seen(or heard) all have the motor boat sounding idle. In person, do they really sound like that? I chose not to go with an X-pipe at this time because of $$$$. I even dropped the H-pipe and cats to put in a new EE Tunnel plate but decided to put it back in and wait to do the X-pipe.
Hoping to find a used one at a good price.
With or without the X-pipe..... am I going to be motor boating at idle? is this just a Corsa sound on the LS motors?

I have an 04 A4, I installed a Corsa Catback just after I got it and dealt with the Motorboat for some time, I just installed a Borla X pipe and in my opinion it quieted the idle a little, totally took the Motorboat sound away, Added a litttle "punch" under hard acceleration and I feel the WOT sound is still as awesome as ever.. It's just a matter of preference!!! Some like it some dont!!!! Do whatever YOU want!!

I drove my car with the Corsa Pace Cars for a year or more before I put the Corsa X pipe on it. It was not a big deal but I'll admit, it does indeed sound better at idle with the X pipe on. Put your Pace Cars on, enjoy and do the X pipe sometime in the future. ENJOY! Ron

I've got the Corsa pace cars with Daytona tips and yes it does sound like a motorboat at idle. I wish I'd gotten an x pipe at the time and I am thinking about buying one now but it doesn't bother me as much as it used to. Maybe I'm just getting used to it. Either that or the the tightwad in me is rationalizing.
