Sounds like a broken down lawn mower, fart can.
I like the old school big V8 rumble.

Here is my exhaust at 7200 rpm

Pete I can respect that opinion. But my car is far from sounding like a riceing fartcan. I get it.... its not loud and throaty

Its the offset of being able to have a normal conversation with my spouse while driving

I had B&Bs and they made my ears bleed. Great for a track car.. Not so much for a daily driver.

Pete, what exhuast is that....3" B&B? I love the sound, may look into other exhaust options when the new motor and my VA emission are done.

I am kind of a broken record on this, but after 20 years of trying five different systems on ZR-1s, probably 15 years with Corsas, I finally tired of the steady loudness and switch to a stock 95 system with cutouts for racing or just scaring children and pets. I like it his way so far, quiet when I want, a little open when I want some rumble, or wide open, although with our Chicago weather I haven't had it off the lift in three months. --Bob

Yah, I use to have cherry bomb mufflers when I was 18.
It's nice for about 10 min.
Now I like to be able to hear other things sometimes to Corsa allows that. Quiet until WOT is nice.

I like my Corsa as well - excellent build quality and not overly loud. My every day grocery getter is F150 Raptor with Borla cat back also nice sound and build.

If you want quiet save your money do what Bob (warp ten) did, I would replace stock resonator with X-pipe keep OE mufflers save thousands and sounds great at WOT.

Again have you guys heard a Corsa w/headers no/CATS at WOT from outside of car.

We have a neighbor with Borla on his Dodge diesel. We all call him "tank" when he goes by at 4:30am on work days. Just wonderful.

Yes, and it's not a very pleasant sound. Been there, done that. Wife didn't like the sound and I finally grew to dislike the "loud".

Current setup is headers, no cats, and 96 LT4 exhaust. I'm considering adding cats and swapping the resonator for an x-pipe but until I hear that setup I'm unwilling to make the change ... I don't want it any louder than it currently is.

friend of mine had a 90 with corsa/headers/no cats and it sounded great while driving but awful from behind. if you like corsa get corsa but it's not the be all end all
