The only way I would ever buy corsa's is if I could find them used for around $250, I don't think the fact that they have no drone is worth the $650 they cost new. I didn't even want to pay for new SLP Loudmouths, so I waited till I found them used, $100 bucks and they look brand new. That's my kind of price!!!
One other thing... I personally think Corsa's are to quiet on a stock GT.

I paid 410 for my stingers before the price hike. I would consider getting corsas if I found them for 350-400, I am not going to really look because I am very happy with what I have.

Here's a pic of the Corsas after install. The camera was down low to the ground (as you can see from the angle) so it shows the mufflers more than looking normally. I would take one now but they need to be adjusted after i ran over a 4x4x12 when leaving work last night. [:@] Dark street+ rainy weather + wood in the road = a very unhappy me. Coulda been worse though, could have been a cinder block.
Ouch! Couple of questions:

Did you install them yourself? If so, how easy is it?

Do they sound as good on the road as they sound on Corsa's website? Seems like exactly what I'm looking for...no drone, quiet at idle/cruise, but deep and loud when I want to scare the p!ss out ofthe guynext to me.

Yeah, i installed them with my dad's help. The install was easy and more time was spent getting it all lined up and even on both sides than actually taking the old mufflers off and putting the new ones in place. The instructions that come with them are very detailed and clear.

As for the sound, i'll try to explain it without giving opinions.
When at idle, cruising around town, and ata constant speed on the freewaythe sound is louder and deeper than stock but from the interior of the car, you can't really tell. From the outside, the sound is definitely more noticable. At wide-open throttle, the sound isa lot more noticable from the inside of the car. The sound is lounder and deeper but won't drown out your music.. At wide-open throttle from the outside, i can't explain how they sound but i've received quite a few compliments. The best example I have of how they sound at WOT from the outside is from the video i posted above...not the best quality though. I'm not going to say you'll scare anyone but people will take notice when you give it some throttle.

Opinions:
If i had it to do all over again, i'd buy the corsas again. I love the sound at WOT and enjoy even more the lack of drone or noise when cruising. I have a 99 v6 mustang with custom dual exhaust setup (no mid-pipe) and flowmaster mufflers. There is definite drone when cruising and at 70 it can get pretty annoying. Sorry if i dragged this out too far but i'm half way thinking about food haha but at the same time i wanted to make sure i covered everything.

Clip numbers "3", "4' and "5" from Corsas website are pretty accurate of the sound, although it all depends on you computer speakers too.

With my Logitech THX speakers, it sounds pretty accurate to in-person

I've heard a few other clips outside of Corsa's website and they sound good. Do a google search or search youtube.com.

I had Corsas and loved them...... but because of my decision to play around with different midpipes, I ended up going to Borlas. But like i said the Corsas are great; here's a bunch of different sound clips, however none are with the factory H pipe.
