corsa vs ARH catback

[Fordified302-4v]

I can tell you that I had the corsa sport axle back with long tubes and X-pipe and it was incredibly loud and almost had that glass pack sound, so I added resonators and it helped quiet it down low but not up top. I took off the corsa and X-pipe and did the H-pipe and ARH axle back and love them. its smoother and deeper not as obnoxiously loud.

Well since you had the Corsa Sport mufflers but not the stock resonator, but a regular X-pipe, you essentially had the Corsa Extreme but with a higher pitch. Corsa Sport mufflers with stock resonator would have a sport sound. I foyu put the duoble X pipe from Corsa with the Sport mufflers it owuld still be Extreme but with deeper tone because of double Xpipe.
You probably should have used the Corsa touring mufflers with your Xpipe because that is what the Corsa Sport catback is, touring mufflers with the double X.

I also don't like the fact ARH uses chammbered mufflers. I prefer straight through better for flow.

I talked to Jason for a while today and pulled the trigger on the ARH direct connection catless with the sports . he was very helpful in answering all my questions and explained why things sound the way they do. hypermotive customer service is awesome

I chose ARH but not because of the sound. I bought it because of their reputation for quality, just so happened that I loved the sound. That being said, the way my car sounds compared to how it comes through on video is laughably different as I'm sure all systems are. When I did it mine was probably the only 15 around here. There are enough systems out there now that it would be worth anyone's time to look someone up for a live listen. The videos don't do justice to any of these systems.

Hi Alex, can't wait to see your review! I think the Corsa sport CB I have on order is going to be plenty loud for me, but if I ever want to amp it up I guess the LT's would be my next step.

I really hope I like it. I just am so picky with this car. long tubes make everything harder.

If its too loud we could also toss some cats on there. [MENTION]Dossey[/MENTION] owns this car and he can talk more about how the car sounds with cats on it.

Maybe its me but i think the full arh x system sounds the cleanest and deepest but i think the corsa sports is a good second choice in terms of sounding pretty similar to Arh. Im trying to like the xtremes and im not hating them anymore but they just don't sound very clean. Maybe its the video quality. :shrug: i watched dozens of videos.

The cats definitely tone it down quite a bit at idle and at normal cruising but it still sounds really aggressive at WOT or with a blip of the throttle. The cold start is still pretty obnoxious. It almost reminds me of the valved exhaust on my BMW's....only loud at cold start and when you want it to be. I love it!!

Cats and inspection?

I assume you would either need to add the cats or put the stock system back on to pass an inspection?

I was thinking the same thing, but you just don't see that many people going full arh. That surprises me

No clue why either. If i wasnt going turbo id use it. Ill only be able to use the cat back portion.

Likely cost. My decision came down to full Kook's or ARH. Not sure what the cost is now but at the time the ARH was more. I also think you'll find the H is deeper than the X.

When you add the price of the corsa catback plus one of those brand headers your looking around the same price as a full brand system.
