I didn't realize at the time! I think it was because some guy was trying to cut me off and pass from the other (non turn) lane, so I was basically like "oh no you don't!"

The video doesn't capture the volume at WOT or the depth of tone, as most mics don't.

Unfortunately this is an all to common expression for myself while out on the road with the mustang since being hit by a texting driver in my prior car and the overly aggressive behavior of other drivers.
Being retired l can limit some exposure to this by getting out to do what l need to do during non peak traffic times of day.....but it goes without saying, always need to be on the defensive.

So l do have to say that sounds very similar to my Corsa Touring but only louder. Looking forward to your follow-on video.:cheers:

In general I do practice defensive driving and have not had a fender bender in 16 years of driving. In that video, I wanted to get onto the on-ramp (with a wall on the driver's side so I could hear that glorious note) first.

Just took a driving video with bumper microphone.

Edit: Reviewing the video now, I'm actually surprised how loud it is! It's so quiet inside the car when not accelerating hard, even with the windows open, that it's deceptive. I'm glad my buddy drove it around the block for me so I could hear it from the outside. Properly loud when on it, but not at all obnoxious.

Can't beat that! The tone of this system seems to fall in the "mid range" between the (higher) x-pipe and (lower) tone of a true h-pipe which is what l like and consider to be the sweet spot, at least for myself.
I love the sound and would consider this a keeper if l owned it, great job.

I agree! It has a deep bark if you WOT short shift, but then screams when you let it rev out. Most people tend to think the Corsa's are really high pitched, but I would actually say they are pretty deep and the key difference is the tone is so much crisper and clearer. I also can't believe how ridiculously quiet it is in the cabin when you're cruising/driving slowly.

Thanks!

Glad you like it and appreciate you posting the video's, always good to get an idea of how it sounds. As mentioned in a prior post l was considering doing the same (among other idea's) after seeing a Sport AB up for sale in the classified section. The seller seems to be a shop trying to sell it for a customer but hasn't been very communicative since posting so not sure if making an offer for them will happen.

Sounds really good from interior!! How does it compare to borla s-type catback? Especially at wot?

At WOT with the windows down its similar in volume to the S-type. It's a little higher pitched, not a ton though, but a cleaner sound. I do really like the S-type too. Very aggressive sound. This has a lot less volume inside the car with the windows up.

Still liking your Corsa? Would you do it again?

I'm going a similar direction, but Corsa touring axleback with my existing H-pipe. I'm still on the fence if I should just buy the full Corsa sport catback and swap out my H-pipe. I'm don't know if it makes any difference, but I know they use 3" pipe.

I want a deep rumble, no drone, louder than my H-pipe with factory mufflers, but not as loud and raspy as an Extreme. Tough to hit this just right!

Sounds like the sport catback is exactly what you want. I added the x pipe to the touring mufflers over the summer and it is the perfect level of volume for a DD and zero drone at any speed or RPM. You could probably still find a great deal on it from one of the vendors here.

i have the Corsa sport with an x pipe and its the perfect sound for me. What i noticed is it's louder than some other exhausts but i think Corsa did something in the muffler design to push the exhaust note out the back so that way you don't hear it as much in the car. I don't know if that makes any sense but just my observation lol

Ok I am confused, which is easy to do. The set up you have in the video's if I am right. Stock exhaust that was cut and the Sport axle back installed? Is the factory resonator still installed? Is the Sport axle back the same mufflers that the extreme used? I am trying to quite down my Catback Extreme System, and your setup is sounding great.
