Bob just buy the Corsa you will be happy.

Thanks for the car-driving offers guys.

But I've heard them on several Z's, been for a ride in Jim's car (no headers though I don't believe?), and of course I have a Corsa system on the Aurora.

I have no doubt they will cure the cruise annoyance. I just think at WOT they sound a bit rough on the Z's, like straight pipes a bit. And I prefer less bling, so the stainless tips don't do it for me. I like the rough flat black of stock.

But if it's between annoying highway trips or not my fave look or sound, I'd probably go with not my fave look or sound. I am in no rush, but I'll probably be picking up a set.

Dominic, thanks for the pictures. It's great to know there's another system out there with low resonance. But I just can't get past that look. To me they look out of place, they don't tuck up at all and the tips are way oversized for the opening. Maybe I need to see it in person, but in pictures it doesn't do it for me.

This is the one I first saw it on. Maybe it's the camera angle/distance but it looks sort of cartoonish:

The tires on that car and the exhaust both look way too big for it.

Looks better in Person. I just saw it Saturday. The angle on the picture is a little odd thats all.
