I honestly think it might be easier to have the guy down the street make me one from scratch- Although for that money I could buy the Corsa...is the Corsa loud? (I want quiet-just a bit louder than stock is ok).

Corsa is loud upon acceleration, but very tame at cruise - no drone. Some people don't care for the raspy sound that it can have, but most like it. I have the Corsa on my 91, with headers, and it's a nice setup.

i've driven and been behind a 90 with heades/no cats/ corsas and there's no noise in the car but it sounds awful from behind to my ears.

if you fastforward to 5:10 you can hear different exhaust systems.

Hmm, guess it's a personal preference thing. I stood behind my previous ZR-1 when it was on the dyno, and with headers/no cats/corsas, it sounded great at WOT, to my ears.

just because i don't like it doesn't make it bad. i've always been told i have no taste

Probably for about 1/2 of new- it is almost new, but the pass. side is not slip over anymore, it has a flange welded permanently that might have to be altered to fit another car. For sure I'd have to get a replacemnt setup in place first though.



since it isn't welded in a lg section, I guess it would be shippable.

Ohh! that Corsa is raspy...No way I'd pay a thousand bucks for that...interior drone or not...looks like I'm gonna just put turbo mufflers on this car too (my last C4 Lt1 rear muff appearance looked like booty with turbo cans, but I guess I can paint them black like the oem ones.
