Exhausts sounds.. My opinions...

I heard a corsa on a Z06 and it was very pleasant. I liked the tones along with its WOT sound. Very nice and for its cost, I could see why people are happy with them.

I heard the GMMG and was not impressed. It didnt have the sound that says LISTEN TO ME!

I heard the Borla with no plate ($600 CUTOUT) and it was the loudest there. Drew a huge crowd and it was hilarious to watch so many people fling their hands to their ears as it neared redline. The sound was not impressive to me as I am not into that but if you do like it loud, cutouts are the way to get that.

Mine was stock and no one even batted an eye. But thats what was so kewl about it. It was smooth and nice, not at all harsh. I was really pleased with the stock exhaust note.

Now for non LS1 engines.. HANDS DOWN.. the 550 Maranello.. Absolute best sound.. I found myself closing my eyes listening to that music. It was incredible. WOW!

Well, you get what you pay for with the Ferrari, but as far as the Corsa goes, I couldn't be happier..

And now I understand why.. It was a very smooth and sophisticated sound. The corsa gets my vote when people ask. But I dont have those kinds of bills to throw around so I will keep looking for something more affordable...

Pretty much any Ferrari makes me just stop and listen....that's pure automotive art; both visually and aurally.

Well said, Jim.. I actually got mine used for like $500, so I really lucked out.

When I first heard the Corsa with the new cam, I thought they had switched exhausts on me, but when I got inside, I knew it was the same!!

Remember the theme to the TV show Hardcastle & McCormick? I loved the sound of the coyote and WOT.

Le Cabbage homme, do you still prefer the Thrust II over the American Thunder?
