Just put Watson headers and new Prothane motor mounts in the Juan.

My old Borla system was modified with an X-Pipe in place of the resonator, and when it was installed, it was aligned to compensate for the sagging engine. Now that the engine is straight, the exhaust doesn't line up right and it's leaking.

I want my car to sound like the Blue Z on YouTube with the Corsa's. I've been researching and re-reading Mark's exhaust guide PDF. Looks like the 2.5" Corsa is great for interior resonation and at WOT it's killer, and it had one of the best HP gains.

Any opinions on the SW systems?

That's the fight right now, SW 3" or Corsa 2.5"

Well... Found a Corsa for $1,199.98, and I bought the SOB! :) Can't wait to install!

I also have Watson headers on a DRM 500 (368 cid) and Corsa 2.5" full exhaust. No drone at all and loud when you want it. So wicked sounding. I will try to post a video if you don't make fun of my short shift into third.

I'm EXCITED! They will be here on Thursday, and installed that evening!

Can you just drop a link to the video? :)

I sort of miss the sound.. I loved the part throttle sound but the screaming banshee was a bit much at WOT

OMFG... I got it installed last night... What an awesome sound! Soon as it busted off and came down to idle I knew this was the right choose versus the obx system. Then I reved it, and I peed a little.

There isn't any drone and cruising is pleasant. However, quick application of the loud pedal and its splitting people's ear drums! OMFG!

THANKS ALL FOR THE SUGGESTIONS AND PREVIOUS POSTS I USED TO MAKE THE DECISION!

Every time it lights off I giggle. How is all that sound even possible?

When you have the hatch vent installed it is so unbelievable. Smooth airflow through the car and voracious LT5 music. What a combination!

Yeah that's how I felt too when I would open up my cutouts to scare pets and small children and set off car alarms. And the open cutouts always sounded great on the track going through the gears. Always fun until I came back into our subdivision where my wife made me close them back to stock. --Bob
