Exhausts

The Corsa is being installed today! Can't wait!

cool, Rn.....hope it goes well -- post up when it's in -- I'm eager to hear what you think.

Corsa has been installed. "LOVE" the sound. Now the ole butt-o-meter says there is some difference. I know Rick and Darrell said there was no measruable gain, but it sure feels stronger. It just feels like there is more power there. :woo-hoo: Another thing, it almost begs to be driven in the manual mode so you can keep the rpm up and the sound. :angelnot: Great tone. Sounds pretty close to the video both here and on the Livernois site.

I don't recommend trying to do this yourself at home without a hoist. I helped my friendly Ford tech do the replacement at the shop, and the original comes off all in one piece, it's a handful. It would have taken me the better part of an afternoon to do this laying on my back in the garage. We did it in a little over an hour at the shop.

One thing missing is a "CORSA" decal. For $1200 the least they could do would be include a window decal. I know, bi##h, bi##h bi##h.

Good to hear, Rn....sounds like a winner. -- no drones I hope???

LOL, I'm sure Rick won't mind sending a decal or 2...

I haven't heard any drone yet, and don't expect to. What I can hear is each and every shift, the load it seems to be pulling in cruise control at 50 mph uphill prior to downshift. It also seems to want to hold the 5 to 6 shift longer under light acceleration. It's funny what you start to notice when you can hear the exhaust. You can also hear the pop of the turbo's when you take you foot off the gas after wide open run. If you listen to the dyno pulls on the site, it's the same pop. Wife thinks it's to loud, but I think it's just right!

Sounds perfect to me and if there is a little extra power then even better.

Wives tend to be more 'conservative' with these things. She'll get used to it.

Ahhhhhh 12 degrees and snowy. To cold for sound clips. Brrrrrr.

I just installed a CORSA in my SHO yesterday. I love the sound so far. There is NO drone at all unless I'm going 85+ and even then it's VERY minor. My wife even commented that the drone is way less than the Borla system I had on my Fusion. IMO I wasn't too impressed with the Borla system on the Fusion. The sound was bordering obnoxious. I felt like when I had people in the backseat, they would have to scream up to the front if they were having a conversation with me. Since the SHO **is** my daily driver, and I do have people in the back about 1-2 times per week, I thought that repeating a Borla system in the SHO wasn't really a good idea.
