Default (Corsa Sport) Need advice

I have the chance of buying a Corsa Sport that was place on a vehicle for less than a day and was replaced with Borla's.The owner said they were too loud for him.I was thinking about the GHL or B&B BULLET for my car but now I am not sure, I can get the Corsa for less than 1/2 of the cost of new one and less than the Bullet. Any advice will be helpful on choosing which way I should go,thanks.

I have the Corsa Indy Pace Cars which were the model before the Sports. I absolutely love the sound and looks of them. And absolutely no drone from them, which is a huge plus. If I had the choice to make, I would go with the Corsas.

Corsa's are great - just remember that if you add headers your exhaust will get significantly louder. I have heard cars with stock exhaust manifolds and Corsa Extremes on them that sounded great....add headers and wow!
Less than half price of new is a bargain - these don't last long in the for sale section.

Good Luck with your decision

I think you should try to find a car in your area that has the Corsa system installed and listen to them in person. Perhaps if you told us where you live someone with the Corsa system near you might be more than happy to give you a demonstration.

I have the Corsa Sport exhausts and found them to be a lot more quiet than I expected. (I was not smart enough to try to listen to them first.) They bark a little when the engine is started cold, but are pretty close to whimpy at low throttle during normal driving. They do get a bit loud at full throttle/high rpm.

Also, I agree with the previous poster: no drone.

I just installed Corsa Extreme on Monday! Absolutely one of the best mods I did... Love the sound and has no drone.

My wife used to say her Nissan sounds better but not anymore!
