Corsa exhaust, C4
Does anyone here have experience with the Corsa Power Pulse exhaust system.
Here's a link at Eckler's: http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1778 I am mostly curious about the claim that it is "incredibly quiet at cruise and highway speeds." I'd like to replace the exhaust on my car, but I don't want to be constantly blown out by noise. TIA. AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp (both tops) |

BUT when I had my 95 6 sp (also both tops . but I never hardly ever ran it topless) I just eliminated the mufflers ... I am completely deaf in my one ear...(thank you Charlie) BUT at highway speeds my wife and I could carry on a normal conversation without any problems at all... Slight resonance about 40-45 in 4th was its only problem... You may want to just try removing the mufflers and driving it a few days before you purchase a cat back system... nothing to loose thats for sure... Bob G. 64 72 & 98 Verts 76 & 79 Coupes |

I've had them on a '98, '04, and the '05. Each has sounded just a bit different but the cabin is still quiet. My only downside to them is the '05 has a low rumble at idle inside that the others did not. The C4s that I've heard have been at idle and full throttle during autocross and were great. I've never been inside a C4 with them at speed but would think they are as quiet as the others. They are a quality product but just a bit overpriced, shop around, the C6 set came from eBay and were $250 less expensive. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd |

I don't run with the tops out much either. Did you notice any effect in performance? Was it TOO loud under acceleration? I'd like it to sound a little meaner, but I don't want to rival the Harleys either. Sorry to hear about your war injury. A nephew is in Mosul and a good friend's son is working the Syrian border. I worry about them every day. AJM |

I think I'll try the straight pipes first, but the above sounds encouraging if I don't care for that. And that's good advice to shop around. If I go with the stainless, I might have it installed at Mid-America this September. AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp (both tops) |

And IT was definately not too loud under acceleration ... just Better sounding... lol Not expensive to just hank off the mufflers and see how it sounds I believe the 93 had clamps ...my 95 did not and I had to cut off the muffler and clamp on a set of eliminator pipes... without the eliminator pipes it was a little louder inside the car as the exhaust was dumped under the car not out behind it...

I have replaced my titanium exhaust on 'my 04 Z06 CE, with the Corsa Pace
Car and X-pipe (2.5" dia). These added 9 rwhp (dyno tested). They are quiet as a mouse at idle and cruise and really scream on launch with zero resonance. I wouldn't have any thing else. BTW, the touring system makes a good paper weight IMHO.
