Corsa Xtreme Catback

[Cati]

Hyper motive are great, I got my Corsa Sport from them and it was around $1300 landed to me. With duty/vat total was around £900 landed. Great deal!

In terms of loudness:

Borla/FRPP Sport/Race (raspy particular through rev range and loud in car)
Corsa Sport (deep tone with slight rasp throughout rev range, quiet in car)
Borla ATAK (deep tone, little louder than Corsa sport, loud in car)
Corsa Xtreme (raspy in higher rev range, medium in car)


I think the ATAK is the loudest exhaust available that has a deep tone, but they all get a little raspy after 4000rpm full throttle unless you swap the X-pipe for a H-pipe.
The beauty of the Corsa's is they really are absolute ZERO DRONE and the sound cancellation technology makes them pretty quiet inside the car, could be too quiet for some, but at 80mph on the motorway all you can hear is engine and road noise, until you accelerate.

Exhaust without a resonator are always going to be a little raspy ... My sport gt350 system is frikin loud on full noise but quiet and cruise... I am going to fit a centre box in place of xpipe so will post a before and after when Borla clears back orders

Unlike all the others which are all raspy/too noisy/too loud.

How many of those other exhausts have you heard as a passenger, or even in person?

I was talking about both the Corsa's they both have the sound cancellation technology.

I was also saying if the OP wants the loudest without being raspy then the Borla Attack is a good choice.

I have heard in person from both inside and outside the car:
- Stock
- FRPP Sport/Race quad exit catback
- Corsa Sport catback
- Borla Race catback


From outside I've heard a few others including all the Borla offerings. Every exhaust sounds good on this car and they all sound different. I have heard Millteks also, forgot to mention those.


How many have you heard in person?

 

[Centurion07]

None, hence my only advice to the OP being to get along to some meets and hear some for himself, but he's already made his choice so...

One man's drone is another's perfect tone...

Think mine's best for sound....doesn't make any....ppffftttt.

I think you may find mine is best - it has four exhaust pipes and the bloke next door said it was the first thing he heard since the gulf war in fact it is so good he invoke the name of our, saviour Jesus Christ as I drove by. best and blessed beat that!

Nope they are arriving at GT101 tomorrow then I'm going to have them fitting next Monday. Cant wait

Will upload some pics and video once its done and do a little review, so you guys can get an idea of what it sounds like for UK use and also the difference in person vs youtube videos as all I have heard so far are youtube videos, so I'm excited to see how loud this system really is in person and the actual tones it produces on:
1. cold start
2. gentle throttle
3. cruising
4. WOT
5. drone zone at 70mph

1. cold start - Hello neighbours I am off out
2. gentle throttle - Nice rumble
3. cruising - Nice rumble
4. WOT - Big grin from ear to ear every time
5. drone zone at 70mph - none

Enjoy the exhaust mate

I have got some videos of it which I will upload on the weekend. Its an absolutely amazing system, beyond all expectations just like the car itself. I was as excited to go have the exhaust fitted as I was on the day of going to collect the car back in Feb. It add a really menacing touch to the car and really seals the deal that its a big in your face muscle car.

I got mine from GT101 in Colchester and have to give them 11 out of 10 for the service and job, really really top guys, they really knew a lot about the car, no faffing or fiddling. Ill definitely be going back to them in the future for other mods/ work.

In terms of the exhaust, it sounds familiar in real life to the sounds on youtube videos. The only big difference is the volume in reality to the youtube videos. On cold starts its incredibly loud, which I actually quite like the attention it brings and also how it sends out the message that this car means business haa. On any form of acceleration even gentle it gives a raspy but still fairly deep sound. As soon as you start to climb through the rev range esp above 3000rpm it becomes a lot a lot louder and more higher pitch then the deep rumble it has at lower revs. Ive since heard the FRPP Sports by borla which is a really nice tone to it but just no where near the volume of the cross extremes. I especially enjoy giving a blip of revs whilst in standstill traffic, it just gets heads turning hehe. At idle is gives of a deep hum/ burble type sound which is also quite cool. I have to give it 10/10. In terms of the volume, its perfect for me, wouldn't want to go any quieter. Only downside is that you will end up finding places to go WOT for the noise!!

Videos to follow this weekend. Thanks
