Default Corsa exhaust question for my '09 Z06

Any Z owner install a Corsa exhaust on his/her 2006-13 Z06?

Just stopped at Corsa for its annual Corvette Show(250+ Vettes) and they have a sale with free installation for attendees on the Z06 exhaust and Cold Air Intake(with CF).

Want to know how you like the product and the noise level.

Thanks

I have the sport on my 2008. Car has heads, cam lg headers no cats. It's pretty loud at idle. Very deep. I do have some drone around 1400-1600.

Does sound good, screams when you start driving hard. I usually cruise around at 1800 rpms and it's pretty tame then.

If you can live with awful drone in 6th cruising in the 65-75 range, the overall sound is great when your on it, or at idle.

I have the corsa sport exhaust with dynatech headers. I can't really say i have a drone?

Even if it did the sound at WOT is simply amazing and would more than make up for any droning!!!

I have the CORSA X pipe and CORSA sport mufflers on my 2006 Z06. These are absolutely amazing for acceleration sound and idling. On the highway there is NO drone whatsoever and that is why I removed my BB Bullets and installed these CORSA pipes. I drive my Z on long trips and can listen to a conversation with a passenger and tune in to the radio. NO drone at any speed......No drone at lower RPM or even the higher RPM ranges. You can't go wrong. Nicely made, easily installed, everything fits well, and great looking chrome on the pipe tips.

I have the Corsa sport and X pipe on my 2013 and have no drone at any RPM. I had an Akrapovic for about a week and the drone was crazy.

I have a stock Z and had Corsas....too quiet until you were 5000+rpms. No drone was nice...sound at idle was like a tractor.
