Corsa Exhaust
I bought my 1st Corvette in December... It has always been my dream car and I will always be a Vette man now that I have actually owned one! I bought a Black 05 loaded with the Z51 package that had only 33,500 miles completely stock when i drove it home! Obviously I need/want to put my own taste into it and make it my own and thanks to CF, i have a million ideas for it (there are some amazing cars on this forum)... besides minor things like swapping out all my interior lights to LED which I did in blue, LED reverse lamps, fog lamps, and doing minor leather upgrades on the interior as well (center console cover, shift boot, e-brake boot and arm rest eboney and titanium), I wanted to do something with the exhaust. I posted a thread on here and and decided with the Corsa Sport. In fact, I got a great deal on one and made a great friend in the process. I received a PM from Mr. Ross on here who had one he sold me at a great rate! I installed it today and WOW! It is everything I wanted! 
to the start of much more to come on one of the greatest cars ever made! IYAOYAS

I added Corsa Sports to my '07 convertible when I bought it new . . . and I have NEVER regretted it. Great choice, great car. Enjoy!

Sport is a good all around choice for the C6, in my opinion. Had the Indy Pace Car on my '98 and agonized whether to go for the Extreme or Sport with the C6. The sport adds the same "bark" and when wot sounds about the same as the previous Indy did.
Too loud of a system invites "big brother" to pull you over and pile on supposed infractions.

That's what I plan to get when I can. Question, those that have the sports, did you replace the factory h pipe, or just go with the cat backs?? Is it a big deal to not change the h pipe? I don't race/track so the corsas will be for the sound pleasure aspect only....

Recently put Corsa sports on my C6. Love them. I also put some on the C5 I had and with the stock H pipe it did have the motorboat idle and LOTS of gurgle back when letting off the gas.
Took the C5 to my local exhaust shop and they turned my H pipe into an X pipe for $150 out the door.
No more motorboat and only the slightest gurgle back on decel. Got the gurgle to where I actually like it.
Years later when I get the C6 and Corsa Sports I took it back to the same exhaust shop and had the same done to the C6 H pipe into an X pipe and it did the same trick. No motorboat, very little gurgle back, and NO DRONE at highway speeds.
I would like to hear an Xtreme system sometime in person. Youtube just doesn't do it for me.

Does anyone have a sound clip of Corsa Sports with long tubes and HF cats. I'm a little gun shy since I had to take the B&Bs off my car....too aggressive with headers. I wonder what Corsa touring with my headers would sound like...any clips?
