For the record I personally think Corsa is the best exhaust on the market today.

I was at first disappointed with the sound, but after hearing it from outside the vehicle with my brother driving I was impressed...totally different sound than most but awesome and quiet inside...loud when getting on it.

I don't have a sound clip but i can vouch for the sound. It sounds wonderful, nice and smooth, and it won't dron out your radio. It's got good ***** when u get on it.

Hmmm. 800 dolllars for a catback or Hooker LTs and a custom X-pipe. Tough decision....

I have corsa-cat back running off my hooker lt's. I punched out the cats (we don't have to worry about emissions in Florida ). Anyway i don't have a clip but i think it is some of the best sounding exhaust. It is quite expensive i paid $550+ for mine. Anyway the sound is like nothing else i would suggest getting it

I must agree I love mine as well. Just what everyone else said about it. Won't drone your radio and you can actually talk to the person next to you.

As for great points on it. I have a few.
1. I gained 2/10ths at the track after install.
2. Also I did gain the 14 HP they claim. First dyno with NO corsa and just a lid and K&N got 310 rwhp after Corsa install 324 rwhp on first pull.
3. Noise outside is awesome inside is just right.
4. I think it gets a little bit louder as it's on the car. I now have 53K on my car about 35K with the Corsa.
5. You definately get what you pay for. Well worth it.

As for bad points:
1. There are none...Zilch, nadda. Enjoy.

I want Corsa too!!

I'm so pissed!

I was told that my family would pitch in and help me get my Corsa system for X-Mas and now they're all backing out! $#!%!! So now I have to pay for the whole dang thing myself.
My question is: What's the cheapest you've heard a Corsa cat-back system going for with the Premium tips? The corsaperf.com site asks $795, but ls1speed.com asks $749. Is there anything cheaper?!

Btw: And how much is shipping to Los Angeles, you think?

I only paid $558 for mine (but i stuk w/ the original SS tips). I got mine from southeasternautowholse.com. Not sure about shipping but after u add the premium tips and shipping you may be around $750 anyway. Although it wouldn't hurt to check

also i suggest punching out your cats as well (as long as u don't have to worry about emissions). It's alot cheaper than fabricating an o/r pipe and the sound is amazing

I would love to punch out the cats, but unfortunately Southern CA is very very strict about emissions.... Still, if I can get my old auto shop teacher who owns a gas station and a smog check facility to "hook me up" I may be able to get away with it.

Anyhow, thanks again for letting me know you could get the system for $558. THAT's around the price I'm lookin' for. I really do want the tips, but I guess those can always be added on later. I'm looking more for sound and performance at the moment. Thanks again, and i anyone else can quote me a similar price, please help.

I just bought mine yesterday, I got it with the premium tips for $670, $705 shipped ...but that was a sale that just ended. I think ls1motorsports has them for $699 w/o shipping. Looking forward to putting that bad boy on
