I love my Corsa Sports. I think they sound great and, based on everybody's comments, I was expecting them to be really quiet. They were much louder than I expected. I think they are perfect. I understand they may not be as loud as some would like, but I'm not a fan of loud, obnoxious exhaust. They have a great, refined sound and don't draw TOO much attention, which I like.
I just hope I don't get pulled over a lot now

How about for the mid-pipe? Should I do catted x, or catted h?
Please let me know - thanks!
EDIT: Well after reading quite a bit and looking over a few things (this helped the most - https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...explained.html)) I think I am going to go with a MAC-PC2105 which bolts to stock cats. I heard a few clips and its very deep which is nice
What does everyone think? Does it require welding, or is it a simple bolt on?

I paid $681 and they are shipping from Cali. The order is still processing, but for some reason I have questions on whether or not these will be too loud. Granted I know I am getting the prochamber, which will change a few notes, but I dunno.

Here's what I learned about warrantees and superchargers a few months ago:
Roush will back a 3/36 with the Roushcharger provided someone on their list did the install.
Vortech and Paxton have a supplemental 3/36 (costs about $500) available if the install is done by someone on their list.
Ford Racing has a 12/12 on their non-intercooled kit as long as a Ford dealer does the install.
Saleen had a 3/36 as long as someone on their list did the install. Who knows what they have now.
The big caveat with the FRPP, Roush, and Vortech/Paxton is they cover $5,000 for motor repairs, $1500 for tranny and $1500 for rear end with an $8,000 maximum for all covered repairs. Can't remember the specifics of Saleen but a Google search should yield some answers.
In the end I decided to do my own install and take my chances. At some point I'll upgrade the short block and tranny anyhow.
You probably have the option of selling your extended warranty back to the dealer at a prorate.
Forced induction is fun. I have no regrets about doing it and only a few about how I've gone about it. Hindsight is 20/20 you know.

I maybe going with the Roush, Paxton, or Saleen kit, but we don't know what the Saleen kit's warranty is anymore :/

If they're a bit too loud for you, I'm sure you can find someone with the Corsa Sports that would be interested in trading up to something louder that would be willing to do a trade. If you're really worried about it, then go cancel your order and get the Sports. Nothing like a $700 purchase you end up regretting...

you can take a piece of crap and slap a warranty on it and its still a guaranteed piece of crap!!!!!! Warranties are way over rated esp with FI added.....if you want to play you have to pay...so save enough money to get FI and if something fails on the driveline (like motor or trans, or rear diff) you can replaced sooner then later...

At least these won't drone like the Borlas. Like you said though, if it is too loud, I am sure someone would like to trade up

I agree, I will see how much I can get back since I only picked up the car around months ago.

UPDATE: I spoke to Corsa, and he stated that no matter which mid-pipe I get it will sound nice. Also, since I would like to get the prochamber, it won't change the sound, but it will smooth out the popping/flow issues associated with the stock H.
I will update once I have a video/sound clip, or once I hear more info
