I hear the corsa's sound nice but are a bit mild. At idle and cruise I think things have to remain intimidating which is why I'm thinking about chnging the flows. I think the corsa's would be too quiet. Just going on what I heard
Watch the videos I posted above of my car. 1st one is the car bone stock with the Corsas on (day 1). After about 500 miles, the Corsas opened up a bit. It's mild under light throttle but WOT is a HUGE difference over stock. They sound great.

Put them behind an off-road setup and they really get loud but keep a good sound to them.

It does sound very good, but how loud is it really over stock? Is the Huge diffrence only at WOT?

Well I just got my Corsa exaust yesterday and had it installed today (I wanted a near perfect fit).

The cabin drone is gone! I love this exaust system and it is worth every bit of money that it cost.

It's true.. you usually get what you pay for.

Over stock...it's louder and deeper on startup and idle. Noticable difference. Normal cruising, it's a deeper exhaust note and yes, it's louder. You won't hear it all the way down the street but it's louder.

Now, the corsas with off-road H...trying to be quiet creeping down the street, anyone inside not listening to loud music will hear you. If you want people to hear you...it's not hard.

Here's some WOT action from behind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT5mjR5G8fgThe other car is a 2001 GT with cams, cai/tune, 4.10s, throttle body, off-road x and bassani mufflers, short-throw shifter, DRs and I think a few other things.

Yes, I want to be loud and I know it's not hard but I'm trying to be reasonable. If I wanted to wake up the neighborhood I would get an O/R H or would have kept my O/R X. This is why I'm just looking for a loud axle back. (YEs I know SLP, and BT's) are the loudest). I don't think I want a muffler delete

In my opinion while loud is sexy for someone like myself (37 going on 38) a loud exaust simply makes my mid life crisis look even worse.

The Corsa system is better then stock and improves miliage slightly from my calaculations. My tuner reports a 2 - 5hp increase on average, hardly much and it could have been the new tires getting better grip but the end result is: 1. They look better, 2. They sound better, and 3. My wife will let me keep them on.
