Corsa touring vs extreme with headers. Need input....

[BmacIL]

I honestly think you guys have hearing loss or haven't heard your car being driven by someone else. It's deceptive because it's nowhere near as loud inside the car as it is outside, thanks to Corsa.

There are plenty of racetracks that would kick someone out for noise with a Xtreme & catless setup. Go to the Road Course/HPDE subforum and there's a whole thread dedicated to mitigation actions and which tracks do that.

It’s not deceptive because everybody knows that’s the whole point of getting the corsa, or at least I’d hope they do if they’re spending corsa money. The cabin is quieter with my xtreme/catless than it was with roush/cats lol. Hate it or love it, undeniable benefit is everybody on the roads knows when I’m around them. They know when I’m in their blind spot just from exhaust alone. Non car people (ya know, the 99% of people on the road tailgating actually driving dangerously daily) hate any exhaust tone whatsoever, even “loud” axlebacks, so honestly I’m not concerned with their opinion.

As for the track. I agree I’m sure there are many but the previous post kind of implies (“many, many”) that basically you can’t go to any track. I can’t imagine this setup is louder than many real drag builds or catless vettes.

I personally prefer a raspy, higher pitched exhaust tone. My biggest concern with the Extreme+LTH is the volume level. As long as part throttle and idle is still decent and controllable with my right foot I am ok. I live in the country, so the only time I do go WOT is out in the middle of nowhere where I don't care how loud it is as there aren't people around lol. I like to think I am a driver that tries to respect others and don't go WOT thru residential areas. Again, living in WV I have that luxury that those in urban environments do not.

If Bmac is catless him and I could portentially do a comparison vid lol. Both from IL.

I had xtremes w/ my catted GREEN Kooks LT's and they were obnoxious, I loved them but after a while I got over them and my neighbors wanted to civilly sue me haha. So I got MF competition now and they are a super deep rumble at low RPMs, still loud and only rasp at around 4K. If you want to be heard blocks away, xtremes are your best bet. Just remember, loudness doesn't make you fast haha

As an Xtreme owner, I would vote for the Sports if you intend to go LTs if you daily the car or drive it even remotely often. After the first long trip you take in the car you'll be thankful. Corsa does a great job with resonance cancellation but that still only goes so far once you switch headers. I was set to switch to the Sport but kept it simply because the Hellion kit and a touch of Dynamat stifles the noise slightly to where it's at that "just right" spot for me.

I will agree on how deceptively loud these corsa systems are. I have at no point from behind the wheel (with my headers and sport set up) thought once that my car was too quiet, its very loud.

I had my buddy drive my car so I could hear it from the outside. And its insanely loud (sounds awesome!!)

Im trying to goto sports if someone would just swap with me

I’ll have to have my buddy drive my car. I can’t imagine it’s louder than the straight piped corvettes I hang with but now I’m curious.

Had a buddy in a ZL1 with LTs and Extremes. His car was loud as hell to the point where he was tired of it within a few months.

I remember being in another friends hellcat on a long trip where we'd occasionally do a few pulls. We weren't in a pull so I wasn't paying attention, and he did a fly by. It scared the living crap out of me even though I knew hew was there.

That's how loud it is _outside_ of the car.
