Question Exhaust set-up?

Hey guys,

So here's the deal, as of right now, i'm running straight pipes until my Corsa extremes' gets here. But i kinda like the sound (all except the drone). Below is a link to my YouTube channel, and a video i made of different scenarios you would hear when running straight pipes. Check it out and let me know what you guys think and if you think i should keep running it like this instead of getting the Corsa set-up!

Thanks,

-Solomon

It sounds mean, but the downside on straight pipes is not the drone you mentioned. It is the attention you get from the cops that hear you, literally, a mile away.

I am thinking some pypebomb axleback myself. I have heard them on a '10, and they are plenty loud under acceleration, but keep it on the down-low at idle and normal cruising.

thanks man, and yeah it does attract way too much unwanted attention. Thats why i wanted to go with the Corsa. Just because of how docile it can be, yet so loud under heavy throttle.

It does sound good but the downside......even when you not WOT its sounds like your WOT. Always appears that your hauling *** ie speeding.

Perfect description of the Corsas. Nice, but mild mannered until you really get on it, then look out!
