Default Corsa Sports Installed This Morning! Wow!

I was skeptical b/c I had magnaflows w/x-pipe on my 05 C6 and it was a little too quiet for me! I listened to an 04 Z06 with the borla stingers on it on the showroom of Dallas Corvettes yesterday and it was way too loud in the cabin. I decided to go with the Corsa Sports w/ dual 4.0 inch tips. It is a beast at WOT and while cruising it is quieter than the factory system. I love my decision that I made and cant wait for kooks headers and x-pipe!

With headers, it will REALLY take on a sharper tone. WOT from 3,000 to red line, it's like MUSIC.

LOL, I watched my tank go from F to 3/4 on the way home and Corvettes of Dallas is only 15 min from my house. I love the sound and the look of the tips!

I am also a convert to the Corsa Sports. I actually prefer it over the NPP and no mild to wild to think about. It just works so well and it seems like you have total control of the loudness with the gas pedal.

I hear about the gas mileage and my experience has been pleasantly positive.

With the Corsa Sports and Dynatech headers, last week I drove from Austin to Dallas. I made the trip in 3 hours flat and the display said I averaged 27.3 mpg. That was amazing.

You must like LOUD !! I have Magna Flow and it is plenty loud for me.

Glad you got what you wanted. And I'm glad I didn't start with Corsa, it woulda been too much for me.

Corsa Sports w/Kooks lt's here. Sold the Borla Stingers, loved the sound but hated the drone. I'm with you on the two 4" tips cleans up the rear view, four tips just look to busy in my opinion.

I love my Sports. I know that if I move to headers down the road I'll be good to go.
