Default Corsa exhaust system

Can you give me some help. I have decided to go with a Corsa muffler system for my 2010 GT500 and would like any input regarding whether to put on the Sport or Extreme. Can anyone help me out with their experience or knowledge on this. I chose the Corsa as it does not have the drone associated with other mufflers. But not sure of the sound (Sport vs Extreme) even tho I have listened to their sound samples on their web site. Thanks for your help.

The Extreme is a little louder and more aggressive. I'd go with the Extreme.

I had the Sports on my GT but it was too quiet inside for me. I don't like it real loud on the inside but a little.

I agree go with the extreme. I had the touring version and they are so close to stock you won't be able to tell the difference. Corsa's are known for no drone due to their RSC technology. It's really a quality piece.

That being said, have you considered the FRPP KR mufflers? Perfect sound and no drone.

Actually I take it back. Go with the Sport. I'm selling my Sports on ebay right now. PM me for link if interested.

I really need to sell these things to help cover some of the cost for my cams I put in a few months ago.

I have the Sports on my car. Very nice sound IMO. They aren't too loud inside the car, however while passing people, under tunnels/bridges they sound amazing. no drone as you mentioned. I am 100% happy with them.

I then added an X-pipe and it got way louder but still no drone. I think the GT500 comes with an X-pipe from factory.

I have the Sports and my dad has the Xtremes. If the Xtremes had been available when I bought mine, I would have gone with them. They are a little bit louder at idle, significantly louder under accelleration and still don't drone at all.

Either way, both are fantastic pieces of great build quality. Both fit perfectly as well.

I think it just depends on the tone you want. The Sports have a good classic car sound which is actually quite loud when you get on it. The Extremes are just as quiet while driving around town, but have a louder, more exotic scream to them at WOT.
