Yeah Ted put that in with the original tune for the CAI. Man that made a WORLD of a difference. Changes gears so quick, especially in Sport. Gives you a nice jerk.

I need to ask him about changing the shift / cruising points. Would love for it to let me cruise in 4th longer.

O M G!

The Youtube videos do NOT do this exhaust justice!

UPS got here about 7pm, took the parts out of the box and put them in the trunk and took it over to my folk's house. Unfortunately, my next project is clearing out the garage. Plus wanted to put them in with my dad. Brought back memories when we worked on my first car, a 75 Camaro RS w/350.

The pipes didn't seem to be packaged very good and the box seemed to be bigger than it needed to be. Once we started putting things together, a few of the ends were slightly bent. So it made it a serious pain in the butt putting some of them together. Had to put couple on the vice and bang them a bit as well. Serious PITA.

However, once I started it up it was WAY WORTH IT!.

Took a few videos of it and will put something together. Took some with no exhaust as well. Race car WoW; however, the Corsa almost sounded better. Such a sweet growl.

So happy with the choice and dunno if it's my head but it felt like it had a decent bump in power. I know Corsa claims 5-10%, not sure about that, but definitely seemed to have some more.

That would be the good old butt dyno and ears lying to you. It's the sound making you think it's faster, but is in all actuality, the same. The only gains you will get are by getting rid of the stock cats all together or high flows. Long tubes will help too.

See post #45 I was off by a few hours but oh well lol. I knew yiou would like the Corsa Xtreme. The fact its 3 inch gives it more growl imo. Plus you will notice once you get on it that all the noise is behind you. No drone and cabin noise is very low. Congrats and post those vids.

Yeah you were pretty darn close. I am not known for my patience!

I was up to about 3 putting the video together!

Thats pretty funny.

Some good info and videos on her all. I have the NPP exhaust on my 1LE that’s also aggressively cammed with Kooks long tubes and a cold air intake. I always loved the NPP, but am now toying with switching to Corsa 3” extreme. Thoughts on if it’d be worth it? I guess I could always sell the NPP afterwards, they have about 6000 miles on them
