Which is Louder, Corsa Extreme or Roush Axle Back?

Don't know if any of you have had both, but if you have, my concern is particularly on Cold Start. I drive at 5 AM and wife will not be happy if I wake her up every day! She sleeps like a baby through the stock set up every morning (master bedroom is over the garage).

Have any of you at least heard both side by side?

Love the sound of both actually, though I'd choose the Roush right now. I'm willing to spend the extra $ for the Corsas if I need to (and I like the tips better too).

Roushes are pretty deafening on cold start. I cringe at 7am but its only 20 seconds or so and they aren't too bad at idle.

Maybe I need to consider GT500 or Hushpower again.

I have never heard the Corsas but the Roushs I have are pretty loud upon startup. If I were to do it over again though I would have chosen the GT500 a/b's. I heard with a a off road midpipe and the GT500's, these cars sound perfect.

I thought Roush was the loudest axle back?

Or is it the ATAK?

Digitals car with the Corsa's is wicked loud. Now pair those Roush's with an offroad X or H and it might be close to the same volume!

The Roush is kinda loud on a cold start but I give it a quick (not aggressive) "blip" of the throttle and they quieten right down. Kicks off the "choke" and reduces RPM long enough to get out of the garage and drive way.

Well, I'm too scurred of the cold start on the Roush. GT500 axle back is ordered. If it's too mild, I'll try resonator deletes with over the axle pipes, then cat back x- or h-pipe if needed.

Thanks for the help, guys.

The cold start is loud in my Roush's. I had to stop backing into the garage because in the morning when I would leave for work my fiancee told me stuff would shake and vibrate on the walls when I started it. I guess it pissed her n my neighbors off (i live in a townhouse) so now I just pull it in.

Next for me will be an offroad X with my GT500's. I already have the over axle pipes with no resonators. I like the sound the way it is. Its loud enough to get attention but not so loud that the cops will care. Eventually i will get a catless X pipe. But that will be after the warranty is expired.
