Default Corsa Exhaust

Any of you Guys with Corsa Exhaust on a 4.8 or 5.3 have soundclips with it on your truck? Just wanting to see how close the sound is to the clips on Corsa's website. I'm thinking about ordering the Single Side Exit with the Twin 4" Pro Series Tips, but just wanna get some feedback before I drop that much money on it. I plan on running LT's with Hi-Flow cats eventually and I want something that's gonna sound really wicked but not draw too much unwanted attention.

Personally mine sounds better than on their web site. Unfortunately I don't know how to make a sound clip. I've got a digital camcorder but I don't know how to get it from the camcorder to the computer, then to ls1tech. Anyone help me on how to do this.? Once I figure out how to do it I'll post ASAP. Go with Corsa, you won't regret it!

Default You Could Be In Luck? Perhaps you can hear one live?

I see you live in Alpharetta, GA. I live in Cartersville GA, located about 30 minutes north of Marietta on I-75 @ exit 288.
There is a Chevy dealer "Main Street Chevrolet" right there on the main drag off of exit 288, about 1 minute off the interstate. Go West at the exit and it will be right over the hill on the left.
They have a Dressed up Black Ext cab on the outside showroom with a Corsa dual rear exit with dual tips on each end. The service writer took me for a ride in it. You can hear it inside but it is not like a resonance. Really mellow. It is aggressive sounding outside. When he fired it up my first thought was "Raspy". I believe a single side exit will sound a bit different. And I called him yesterday to ask if it was a Sport or Touring unit. I will call tomorrow and get the answer and post here.
What you can do if interested is call them @ (770) 382-5885, and ask if it is still there. Then shoot up and be interested in purchasing the pipes and get a demo. They will take you for a short demo ride. Or check out dealers near you.

^^ I agree...I heard the soundclips on their site, but wanted to listen to one live. I went to the local Chevy dealer, and they had 2 or 3 new 5.3 trucks with the single exhaust, both Sport and Touring, plus one with the Touring dual. The parts dept. guy was happy to go out and start them up so I could hear them. I went w/ the single Sport, absolutley no regrets. There's quite a diff. in outside sound between the Touring and Sport...I've heard an '03 SS with the single touring and it was quite a bit quieter than mine. I heard a clip somewhere of a single Sport w/ Dynatechs, sounded great.

Yeah, I'm looking at adding the Dynatechs later on with their y-pipe, probably will keep the cats though. Just wanna stay emissions legal.

Remember there are two different Corsa exhaust systems....Sport and Touring Edition

I have the Sport on mine with the Supermaxx system......The Supermaxx system did add some power and made it a little louder...

Three different sound clips below.....

Well I got to go hear the exhaust and ride in a truck today with the side exit system on it. I have to say I loved it and it was everything I was hoping for. Unfortunately, the old man decided to go with me and he says it doesn't sound any louder or more aggressive than my 30 Series Flowmaster on the truck right now....WTF?!? Anyways, I'm trying to figure out where to pull some cash from and order the system, cause I can get it for $600 minus installation. If anyone knows somewhere else I can get it cheaper, please let me know.
