Default is Corsa worth the $$$?

Is corsa exhaust really worth the 600 bucks, or is it just an over priced exhaust. what kind of horsepower gains does it offer? and if it is really worth the money, WHY! i listened to it on their webpage and it sounds great, i just dont know if im ready to spend 600 bucks on an exhaust system, any help would be appreciated, thanx

A Corsa exhaust is worth the $$. I just installed a side exhaust unit on my Silverado 5.3L and I love it. It took 1/2 hour to install, and there were no surprises. I was going to have my local mechanic do it but he wanted $100. I decided that I was too cheap and I'd do it myself. Jacked up the right side, front and back, cut the old exhaust off with my sawzall and installed the Corsa. The sound is just what I was looking for, not too loud, but just enough at idle, and when you jump on it you know you've got a V8. I never liked those straight pipes that were more sound than needed. This is a mellow growl. I don't have access to a dyno so I can't give you any numbers. Spend the $$, you won't be diappointed.

It sounds awsome. I love mine.
