misterp Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 My touring muffler did get a degree raspier and louder, but the corsas are only truly loud when the RPM is in motion and at WOT. I know this is a little late to suggest, but to get a lot louder I would personally suggest the Flowmaster products. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwineng03ss Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 well maybe i can sell this system for close to what i paid for it and go with a flowmaster system.. what about gibson?? are they loud?? i guess i listed to the sound clips on corsas website and thought thats what sound i would be getting .. oh well not the first time or first vehicle i have got something for a car or truck didnt like it and sold and bought and sold and bought lol..

XGMTech Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Yeah, a lot of exhaust manufacturers have sound clips on their sites... too bad nobody posts any measurements in decibels. I have a db meter, if I'm ever in a situation where there are a lot of SS's around with different exhaust systems I'd take a few readings and post them.

Obviously flowmaster will have a loud sound, but i would recommend magnaflow that is what i have and they are loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desrtrat Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 if you go with a different exaust just change out the muffler, with a magnaflow and sell the corsa muffler. should be able to get a good price for it, some people are looking for just a corsa muffler and not the hole system...........DO I HEAR $500 bid... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwineng03ss Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 please let us know the result after you took of the resonator and cat. keep bug off your teeth <{POST_SNAPBACK}> will do... this is going to happen this coming weekend.. i am taking it to my buddies shop and he is going to do the work while i am at the nascar race in chicago.. so i should know something within the week.. just hope it runs fine till i can get a tune.. most people i have talked to on this issue say it will run fine till the tune and even better after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 let me tell ya, if you have a corsa sport you'll find that it's alot louder than you may guess. have someone drive your truck and listen to it from the outside. corsa systems can be extremely obnoxious from the outside and be just barely loud inside the truck. on top of this with just a few mods your corsa will begin to be much more noticable.

tawss04 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 (edited) My friend who is the the service manager at the dealer I worked at put the Corsa system on his 00 Silverado (no cats) and sound like the old cherry bombs and glasspacks. I was not impressed with the sound either but he got it at cost because someone ordered it thru GM Performance parts and never picked it up, hell of a deal but it still sound funky He already blew out the baffle inside the muffler and had it warrantied Edited July 5, 2005 by tawss04 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbounds Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I've personally tried a Spin Tech an IMO it was a pinch queiter than running straights from the cats. Made my ears ring from inside the cab so I got rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
