I’ve got the Corsa Sport and zero issues with the issues you’re describing. I switched from a Magnaflow Street which had similar issues you’re speaking of.
Since you seem to hate the interior of the GT500, I’ve got a really good trade for you.
You give me your GT500. I give you my beater 2008 Honda CRV. Seems like a perfect trade to me.
This is very tempting if it’s still around in 6 months. Taking care of getting a new house finished a moved into.
Would this be a good fit with a Paxton 2200?
I did have Magnaflow Street on mine and couldn’t stand the drone. My 75 year old neighbor commented that he’s mad he can’t use my car as an alarm clock since I switched to the Corsa Sport, for what it’s worth.
I’d honestly advise against the Magnaflow Street if he’s wanting to keep it drone free. Unbearable between 1200-2100. I just switched from that to Corsa Sport and couldn’t be happier.
I’m of the age that an Integra GSR or Type R is a PERFECT vehicle to daily and hoon around a lot. Lightweight, good gas mileage, and good power for what’s in them.
