Torched10 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well, ive read alot of the posts on exhaust, and the info has been very helpful.Like someone said,its very personal decision, and there is no right answer.But i want a non-drone sound thats not too loud,and is 4in tips.Corsa has a 4in tip and i need to decide betwen the Xtreme and Touring.The sound clips Corsa has are very helpful and Im trying to decide which is louder.The literature on the Xtreme and Touring make it seem like the Touring sound is mostly on open throttle,whereas the Xtreme is always on.For that reason the Touring seems like a better choise for me.But the sound clips make it seem like the Touring is louder.For those of you who have Corsa could you let me know what you like about them,and which one is louder--thanks much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great, no drone whatsoever. Really aggresive sound when you get into the throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalianStallion Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I've got the sport. Its great, no drone whatsoever. Really aggresive sound when you get into the throttle. Got the Corsas as well. No drone. Not to overbearing, but when you step on it, they'll know theres something there. Well constructed item also. Go with the extremes, so you get some part throttle tone. You'll love them. They also are very free flowing, so you might gain a bit more power. Compare my stock exhaust to the Corsas IS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firetruck Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 what do you mean by part throttle sound. I want to hear sound when cruising on the highway. do you get more rumble when in top gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalianStallion Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 what do you mean by part throttle sound. I want to hear sound when cruising on the highway. do you get more rumble when in top gear? It may just be a mater of opinion, but some of the exhaust systems out there may be too loud for some folks. My Corsas gave me what I was looking for. More exhaust note than stock while cruising around town(not too loud, but not to quiet). But when I jump on it and bring up the RPMs, they change their attitude and sound more aggressive. Some folks may want that aggressive "loud" sound anywhere along the RPM scale, if thats the case, there are other systems that may satisfy that need.

Torched10 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 thanks--its the input i wanted. looks like i want the sport model--just want to hear it at start up, and when accelearting,and no drone.The Xtreme seemed from the sound bites lieke it was always "on".

firetruck Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 one last question. my main complaint about stock is that at cruising speeds you hear nothing. which exhaust will improve that cruising sound while in top gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalianStallion Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 one last question. my main complaint about stock is that at cruising speeds you hear nothing. which exhaust will improve that cruising sound while in top gear? I like my Corsas. If you're after more aggressive sound then I would go with maybe the FRPP axle backs...??Stingers ?? Not sure on the name, but I understanf they have some voulime...more so than the Corsas Perhaps others here can chime in on what they have and give you more ideas. SLP loudmouths may be an exhaust you'd like. I believe they replace the axle back muffler with vitually nothing at all but modulated pipe.

ItalianStallion Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 did you get the model 14311 Corsas---are the ones you have long enough to clear the valance.Did you install them your self Yes, I installed them myself, fairly simple. I believe they are the 14311, but some of the very early 14311 were more cylindrical in shape. I got mine last year about this time and after calling corsa, they told me the 14311 has been reworked to the shape of the one I have in the pic. Its a bit more oval. Though this part is the "new" 14311. They clear the valence just right. IS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS +1 on the 14311's. mine are the early (round) version which i like better than the ovals. sounds stock until you get on it. probably only a 3 out of 5 as far as loudness goes with stock being a 1 out of 5 at WOT. sounds perfect to me as i dont like the "TOO LOUD" anymore.
