Corsa is in!!
Initial impressions:
Very quiet inside the cab, the usual drone from an aftermarket system is non-existent. Good quality, everything just bolted right up. Sounds deep and throaty, but yet a lil raspy. I guess the raspiness is due to the lack of cats, but its not obnoxious. WOT sounds excellent, very loud and almost sounds like a Mustang GT now. Here are some before and after pics:
Old Magnaflow and Denali tip:
Corsa tips and Corsa Muffler:

Oh yea, I forgot to give my props to Deer Park Muffler for doing the work.
It took them about 45 minutes and they charged me $75.00, while a sponsor shop on here quoted me $100 and 3 hours of work.

Did that shop quote you $75 before or after it only took them 45 minutes?
If the other shop quoted you before doing the work it's normal business practice to cover any unforseen problems. If Deer Park said $75 after they only took 45 minutes to get the job done you can't compare the two prices because of the way they were given. $75 is cheaper than $100 though but, I think you see what I'm getting at. If Deer Park quoted that price before hand than disregard the above.
I love the way those tips look!

$100 would be cheaper for 3 hours of labor vs $75 for 45 min, however, the point i was trying to make is I spent less money in less time to get a professional muffler shop that has been around since the 70s to do whatever it took to get it on and quickly at that.
