Default Corsa Exhaust Tip Length

I'm leaning towards Corsa Xtreme on my 2010, but noticed all the sellers I see online use the same part number for all S197 models 05 - 10. All the other manufacturers have a different part number for 2010 that have extended tips for the 2010 rear panel. I like a deep low and load rumble, but don't want drone due to extended cruising times in car. Anybody with Corsas on a 2010 notice the tips being short or have I just not found the right part number and dealer?

Anyone put Corsas on a 10+, will the tips be long enough?

I have an 08, so I can't comment on the tip length, but on the 08's, you can loosen the midpipe and then pull the over axle pipes further back if you want the tips to stick out further. I have mine pushed all the way in towards the bumper to retain the sleeper look. The corsas are actually more quiet than stock mufflers at low rpms and low load. However, they sound awesome at WOT. I would recommend an offroad h-pipe to go with the corsas. Still no drone, and they sound mean as hell.

That makes sense. Even with the Roush O/R sold specifically for the 2010, you have to adjust the tips out via the bracket at the midpipe.

Thanks, I kept reading it's just a bolt on, but didn't know about mid pipe adjustment. I knew the rear on the 2010 was longer and just didn't want to come up short and have exhaust fumes coming up behind the rear fascia.

jahudso2, you talking about the Sports or Extreme being quiet at idle?

I have the Sports. When I bought them, they only had the Sports and Touring as choices. The extreme is relatively new I think.
