Boomtubes do drone a little bit around 2K RPM.

I saw this thread and I had to respond as my first post. I have a set of CORSA Xtreme p/n14314 on my vehicle and I will tell you they are worth every penny and then some.

They work exactly as advertised; deeper in tone then the Sport sound level(I know, I swapped out Sports for the Xtremes), the Xtremes are about 5 to 6 db louder than the the Sports and they are lighter and more compact than the 14311s. The best part is you get all this great sound with "NO DRONE" whatsoever. This fact is all the more impressive since I also run L/T Headers.

My '06 howls like no other car I've heard and yet is very quiet inside at cruise. Also, the Xtremes cost less than CORSA's other Mustang offerings. It's like having your cake and eating it too.

Cool, glad to hear about a Corsa muff that's deeper and louder which is what I wanted.

But I'm in love with my boomtubes now so there's no way I'm changing.

I dunno since mine has Hi-flow Cats. I can tell you though that my GT Howls like a NASCAR stocker under throttle, but at cruise or idle it is very pleasant; nothing obnoxious at all.

I will mention that when I had my Sports in place, I couldn't hear my exhaust as much at idle as I do now. I think it is more of a by product of the deeper tone mixed with the slightly higher db level than just volume level alone. Under WOT though the Xtremes are noticeably louder than the previous Sports. The deeper tone is at its best under 4K. I will post a video clip of the car once I figure out how to use my Video Camera I got for X-mas!!! LOL

I got my Xtremes from Evolution, $675 shipped. http://www.evoperform.com/shop/index...aefd9eedf71ee6

There is a subtle difference in sound between the Corsa Sport(14311) and Xtreme(14314). The Xtreme are a bit louder and exotic sounding during acceleration, I've made some videos to compare the two systems but the differences aren't very noticeable on the videos. I would suggest the Xtremes because they're smaller and lighter, 10lbs ea vs 18lbs ea.

Both systems are quiet while cruising and do not drone like advertised. BTW
