those sound mean... but loud.

They're really not obnoxious. My main concern was drone, and these have none.

just curious...

and im assuming this is going to be your daily driver? do you have winter wheels lined up?

Won't be driving it this winter. Using the Millenia for winter driving right now.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

ah... good.

 

[tunersteve]

Just got done with a real thorough cleaning inside and out of the car. Put a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond on the outside, Poorboy's Wheel Sealant on the wheels, and 303 Protectant on all the plastic bits. Used some Rain-X on the windows, then went inside and vacuumed it out, put 303 on the dash/plastic, and Zymol on the leather to condition it. The car is shining like I've never seen before.

Damn that exhaust sounds soooo nice. 5.0 is the new ms3 i think. best performance for what you pay for.

 

[tunersteve]

Things worked out a little differently than I expected, so I actually picked up the exhaust tonight. Going on first thing in the AM!

Lookin good steve

 

[tunersteve]

Exhaust is on. Holy **** it's loud.

It's one thing to hear it on youtube, it's another to hear it in person. No drone at all on the highway, and lots of noise when you get on it. Exactly what I wanted.

sounds like the OP needs update... new pics, exhaust info. etc.

 

[tunersteve]

Couple of pics from the install today:

keke stock supression is always funny.
you should see my magnaflow versus stock, like yours, nearly double the size!

very cool man, hope to hear it soon!

 

[sanblaster]

That look so awesome man. Probably sounds mean as hell.


I lolled at your sig, I believe those green guys are in Vancouver. They crack me up.

Yeah, it's all sorts of stupid loud when you get on it. I'm sure it'll piss some people off.

One thing cool about the Corsa tips, they line up with the contours of the bumper, so they sit flush from L to R on it. I'll go outside and snap a picture of it to show what I'm talking about soon.

hmm only axle back, why not catback?

btw found that vide buried in this thread...

thats a pretty good vid, might as well highlight it on OP or something?
basically what you would make anyway... stock versus. sounds good n throaty. muscle car exhaust notes ftw.

 

[tunersteve]

Dynos have shown minimal gain in power with exhaust mods. Even going to a 3" cat-back doesn't seem to do much for power. Also, the exhaust was given to me, so beggars can't be choosers. I could always add the XO-pipe, which makes it a cat-back system.

Added pics of the Corsa system to post #133

What did you do to earn that? (naughty)

 

[batou079]

srsly, GIVEN an axle back? must be nice haha...

i say get the XO-pipe, if the sound difference is nice... since it sounds like the only real reason to do exhaust on your car.
I cant say different, same deal on my car, only real exhuast gains i would get if i went full turbo back. u know how it was.
