Question for those with Corsa Extreme Catback ...

[toplesstripcruiser]

Alright so had the system installed today by Hypermotive. Great guys and if you live near (or not so near) I recommend giving them a shot. I was in and out quickly, no issues.

So here is what I think about the Corsa system itself:

Much quieter than I thought it would be in a good way, but let me explain. The system I had in place before was the ford racing x pipe and flowmaster super 10s. They were loud as hell, had a lot of interior drone/resonance, and no control over the volume.

With this Corsa Extreme catback it starts at a moderate level. Though will have to wait and see what cold start is like. And I mean moderate, but steady. It would not annoy anyone unless they are just crabby anyway and looking for a reason to complain about something. You can easily control the volume by the pedal, and I swear to you the whole car feels smoother. Hard to explain.

Once you get on it purposely, it comes alive. It gets LOUD. But you have to be doing it on purpose. It remains the same nice sound until about 4k+ rpms and then it gains this sorta higher pitched note. Hard to explain.

The overall sound cannot be explained through text. And through vidoes it barely captures the sound. Some of them do decently well but still needs to be heard in person.

Overall: A+++ system and I stand corrected, its worth the price you pay for it even though I still cringe at paying it. It makes driving the car a joy.

Great to hear you like it! I remember you saying you can't justify paying so much for piping that doesn't offer any HP gains and just for sound. But glad you went for it. I sort of think like you do. But these Mustangs aren't cheap so I figure go with the best from the start and be done with it. Especially if you like the sound and you have to live with it. All that being said I have more confidence in getting Corsa, Sport for me, and videos don't really capture the sound you hear in person. I like Sport because not as loud, and may do long tube headers in the future. So this exhaust going through your strict standards, and turning your reluctance into being happy with your purchase is reassuring.

I'll say this about Corsa..
I got a killer deal on the Extreme from LMR. When the box arrived it had been beat up in shipping and the way they'd packed it one of the muffler outlets was exposed and was bent way out of round.
Already had the mufflers on and since I couldn't get the tip over the outlet I reached out to Shawn here and he put me in touch with John at Corsa almost immediately.
John recommended I use a pipe expander on both the muffler and the tip.
Being that I had been under the car for the previous hour and a half, and now had to fix a brand new expensive exhaust just to finish the install I was PISSED. I managed to use an old clamp to get the outlet round enough to barely fit the tip on.
I fired off a shitty PM to Shawn and another to John. Both were nothing but professional and polite despite me being an angry idiot. Within 24 hrs a new muffler was at my door with 2 new clamps as well just in case.
In my opinion THAT'S the kind of thing worth paying for.
A lot of companies can make a decent product but customer service is king. At the end of the day all the quality kits are within a few hundred bucks of each other. I'll gladly pay that to save some nerve endings.

Indeed the one exception I make is with excellent customer service. As that is where the company either shines or fails.

Also this morning I did a true cold start and it was pretty loud but still not to the point I would worry about waking up neighbors in my apartment complex. Compared to my old setup the sound volume was about 20% reduced. Which is ok for me.

I notice with an auto that S mode is louder or course, with D being a little more manageable. I noticed from a cold start the system was louder than when warmed up(obviously). I would say easier to make loud with the throttle.
