RE: Corsa owners
Not to hijack your thread, but can I interpose a question or two? I also ordered the Corsas from Brenspeed (should be here in a couple of days). When I bought my 08, I also had the dealer throw in an FRPP X-Pipe when I bought my car (not yet installed). Anybody have that combo? Anything wrong with that combo? I'll be installing both the X-Pipe and Corsas this weekend. Any advice on which order to install them? It seems that doing the X-Pipe first, but not tightening the clamp that connects the X-Pipe to the exhaust pipe leading to the mufflers, then installing the mufflers and finally tightening the clamps might be the way to go. Any thoughts?

I think the "pontoon" thing comes from the fact that you can see them from the rear hanging under the bumper

RE: Corsa owners
If you look at the date of my original post - the reason I did not go Corsa was because they strated to go crazy on the price. If money were no object, I would have Corsas now. Had to back off but Borlas/FRPPs would be my second choice - Never heard Stingers but from what I read, seem too loud for me. 3 months later - I'm still on the fence. Thanks.

RE: Corsa owners
You will love them, they sound completely different then any other muffler.
However if you like a deep muscle car tone these are not for you.
These mufflers have a more tinny tone to them, hence why they don’t drone because the deeper drone frequencies have been canceled out.
After about 500 miles their tones changes and they become a little louder and a little deeper.
They are quiet at cruise and scream like a wild banshee at WOT.
They do hang down a bit as you can see from the pictures but it is not objectionable, and the exhaust tips looks awesome.

RE: Corsa owners
They do sound different, I listend to some sounds clips on youtube, and they sound very nice at WOT, and very humble at low rpm. Sounds like a mondern V8.
Im still leaning towards the FRPP/borla "stingers", if they are to loud ill sell them and go back to stalk.. 600 is a lot to pay for an exaust!
