Corsa Extremes - installed and rev'd
#62
I've had other fun cars in the past, but none have tickled me quite like this car has. I still remember vividly that 1/2 hour test drive 3 years ago. I was always an import guy then I got a taste of pure raw American muscle. I was doomed.

Funny Story…
As I was driving today, I was sitting at a red light at a cross intersection. The cars from our left were turning left, and onto our lane ahead of us. A red C6 Vette comes screaming…guns it, gets its rear end squiggly. I somehow catch up to him at the next red light, Corsas crackling and whaling. We are side by side at the light… I tap the gas in neutral. (Mind you, I had no intention of gunning it or racing him as that's illegal ) But anyways, as the light turns green, none of us move. LOL. I figured he "heard" me and saw my car and didn't want anything of me, at least I'd like to think that… lol.
But anyway, my drive today was so much fun…stress relieving and everything. Those Corsas completely changed the personality of my car, ok, the 305's helped too

I know, I know, I really need to clean the tips. Here is just a bunch of random clips compiled into a video, including 60mph and 70mph cruise control.
The exhaust is louder in person, but the video does a good job of showing the base sounds. It will probably change quite a bit with headers and a mid pipe, so we'll see.
Give it a second to process and she'll be live.

Link fixed, waiting on processing. Well, new version uploaded, but it kept the "mutang" for some reason; maybe third times the charm

You better believe it, Danielle.... Marilyn is the "other woman", as my wife calls her I've had other fun cars in the past, but none have tickled me quite like this car has.

Lmao! I do like the way it sounds Burt but I would say I like the sound just as much as the Borlas not more. I will say the tips look and conform to the body of the car WAY better than the Borlas! Good choice! Now WOT that baby and put that supercharger to good use, lol.
And as far as driving her, I think I went through 1/2 tank yesterday. Lol
Hey I was showing a point . "Normal" acceleration hehe

Sounds great though! I need to get me a gopro . Where's best place to buy them?
As far as the sound of your corsas quads, they sound like a subtler version of my extremes. Same tone, just less volume. Are they the sports? Either way, sounds great sir!

Narph is that an auto or manual? Sounds great though! I need to get me a gopro . Where's best place to buy them? As far as the sound of your corsas quads, they sound like a subtler version of my extremes. Same tone, just less volume. Are they the sports? Either way, sounds great sir!
Yes, they are sports.
Everywhere runs about the same price.

Those Corsa's have some beautiful tips Z, and you have them polished up nicely. This thread has me salivating for a system. How do the extremes compare to your to your old Borla S types in terms of how loud they are. Some day I would like to get a catback system myself.
I have to worry about the WAF - wife acceptance factor. She's ok with the GT500's but if its too loud I'd be in deep stuff with her. I'm thinking the sports might fit the bill. I've been checking out the youtube videos and it is difficult to tell how loud they are.
I like the sound of narphenal's sports, that quad system will set me back some coin. Decisions...

On a scale of 1 - 10, 1 quietest and 10 loudest, the corsas have a very wide RANGE, making them the most versatile. They go from a 3 or 4 on idle and a cruise to a solid 10 after jabbing the throttle. The borla S go from a 6 at idle cruise to a 8.5ish. Does that make sense? It makes it perfect for the street if you think about it. Quiet when you want it, and loud when you want it. I've been driving her everyday the last few, and I REALLY like them above the borlas for the reasons above.
For you, Sports should do just fine. But honestly, of they have that much range, no reason why one wouldn't go extremes. But your call.
