Default Corsa Sports Muffler

I really did search first.

How badly do the Corsa Sports drone?
I do a lot of long distance highway. 10-12 hours at a shot.

A lot of drone would tire me out.

Right now my C-6 sounds like a hearse.

The Corsa sports don't drone at all. From what Corsa advertises and from what I've heard here on the forum none of the Corsa systems drone unless you have headers or highflow cats.

I just installed a set on my 06 vert... could not be happier. No drone at all, and when you jump on it they come alive. Best of both worlds IMO. Go for them, wont be disappointed.

I ran hiflow cats and headers and had no drone. Had more popping and crackling in deceleration but just pushed in the clutch.

For me a Corsa is far more enjoyable then a NPP. No mechanical process, no baffles nothing to go wrong and sounds better.

Why folks want to spend $1,200 for this option and get 6 hp when a sound cancelling system will bring 12 ish is beyond me.

I recently put Corsa Extreme catback on mine.. Nice tone, but no drone, and it isn't even really loud at all after the car warms up.

All this Corsa conversation inspired me to do a search. I found this Corsa video a very good explanation.

Thanks for the clarification, wasn't too sure. Just informing the OP on what I've heard and read on this forum and other sources. I don't own a Corsa system, I have B&B Bullets, heard the Corsa's are high quality and nice though.

The first thing I did to my '06 A6 Vert was to install Corsa Sports and their X-pipe that is specifically made for the A6 equipped cars.

No drone whatsoever at any speed, and great tone without being too loud IMO.

I have headers and hi-flo cats and no drone. Last year at Corvettes at Carlisle weekend the Corsa Sports were removed and reinstalled on wife's 07; while the Corsa Xtremes were installed on my '05. No drone on either vettes. No drone is Corsas' claim to fame.

I agree. We have them on our '13 GS with stock LS3 and they are quiet as stock when cruising.

Corsa can claim anything but with the right combination drone is more than possible. I've had it on two diff vehicles. On stock vehicles it will not be a problem.
