There's not much that beats the GT500 sound. I got a killer deal on the system so I had to take advantage of it.

Listen to this and tell me that Corsa isn't the best.

This is my car. I speak from personal experience.

Corsa is the only exhaust out there with out drone. I've heard different set-ups in person, and OMG there is drone in everyone's when on the highway. Those same people who say they don't have any, probably don't even know what it is. I finally settled and got some Corsa exhaust, I will never have anything else again. If I had a lawnmower I'd put some on there.

I do have to say, Corsa did their homework. On the highway, you don't even notice the exhaust is there, unless you give it the beans. On top of that, their customer service is top-notch. Like Chris said, I'll definitely look at them for future vehicles.

The GT500 mufflers from Ford Racing have zero drone. So not quiet everybody.

I should've stated the obvious. Everybody aftermarket, and that isn't OE.

I know the exhaust is pricey, but I have to say, it's well worth it in my book.

Oh, and the Corsa X-pipe is on its way as well.

Do you know if they sell individual mufflers? Would love to replace the flows I currently have with a pair of those

Edit: No

Didn't think so. Seems like they design the system to be drone-free, which is one of their claims to fame.

No they don't. I found out on their site.

+1 The X-Pipe just completes it in every way. Although I never tested the car with the mufflers and stock H-pipe, my car seems more deeper in tone and has a little more rasp during shifting. I love this exhaust and it does turn heads when you want it to.

Good to know. Did you have any issues with the exhaust squeaking when you installed it?

Yeah there was squeaking when I had it initially installed. I ended up going to a performance muffler shop to get it fixed. According to the muffler shop, the stainless steel has a tendency to expand during the break in process and caused the mufflers to rub up against the body. They fixed it by lowering the mufflers a tad to provide clearance. Now it sounds perfect. I've put about 2500 miles on them so far and they did get slightly louder especially during idle.
