GET IT!!!!. You will be happy you did.

I have it for my GT, and it sounds AWESOME. It is quieter than stock when crusing at highway speeds, but put your foot into the gas, and it just opens up.

Yes, it's a little more money than others, but there is NO DRONE. So, you save money on Tylenol (for headache) and a hearing aid (potential hearing loss).

Plus, those tips are

Well, that was going to be my next suggestion.

But, all of the reviews are going to say the same as I just said.

I think that EVERYONE that has one likes theirs and KEEPS them. I don't think you will hear anything bad about Corsa, except for the price.

Its a great system, and can really be loud if you add an offroad pipe- just FYI.

I love my corsa axlebacks. I would recomend them to anyone. If you're talking about puting them on a GT500...that sound might make someone upstairs a little jealous.

I haven't heard anything negative about them except for the cost. Being that you already have a GT500, cost shouldn't matter

Do a search on ebay for it. There is a store that does a best offer, and I believe it can be had for ~$550 shipped, based on what some other people have said.

Also, just to note: I believe that the GT500 and the GT have the SAME part number, so don't buy in (no pun intended) to the ebay seller charging more for the same kit that they just label as being for the GT500.

Guess I am 1 in a million. I pulled my corsa's off after 1 day. With my ARH LT headers w/catted x-pipe they were way too raspy. Not to mention they are the heaviest muffler you can buy. Also the can hangs down further than any other muffler I have seen.

Really. What axleback did you go to to improve your exhaust tone? How does it sound now?

I was concerned with my setup that anything other than the Corsas would have been so loud as to be unseemly.

I've said it numerous times now......

Most people will crap their pants when they hear the Corsas with alot of air moving thru them (as in supercharger, or longtubes, or offroad pipe, etc.) because they really open up and get LOUD. And the tone does change, but some people like the tone, others do not. Eitherway, if you start adding alot of power or you free up the flow thru the other exhaust components, they will get LOUD.

I have Magnaflows. They are quiet at idle or cruising but they open up when you get on it. No resonation. More of a powerful tone.
If you want a good sound that is a little louder with LT's, High flow or no cats and an X-pipe, I would suggest Magnapacks.

You're not kidding! When I first stomped on it I was sure every cop in town was suddenly after me LOL. I like my car to be extremely fast and sound really good. I no longer have tolerance for drone, raspy or LOUD!

LOUD and RASPY have nothing to do with DRONE.

You can have a LOUD system and still have no drone. IMO, Corsa's (even on a stock vehicle), are somewhat loud at WOT.

Wooooooah, can't touch the Ebay pricing. Nevermind! Sorry fellas! That's a good deal! Hate to steer you elsewhere, but that's about 40-50 bucks cheaper than old CR!
