I have a Corsa Sport system on it already. Looks and sounds GREAT
Headers are nice, but they cost over 1,200 dollars and only add 10-15 HP.
And you have to relocate the two CAT’s rearward so it makes your emissions system illegal in 50-states.

Intakes are ridiculous too.
They cost like 400-500 bucks and add no power or sound to the car.
That’s a lot of bucks for an appearance item.

I did get a set of fuel rail covers though:

Wheres the gold package though?
No gold on this car. Just wouldn’t look right.
I have seen some pretty gaudy ones at the shows though.
Every aftermarket sticker, chrome cover, emblem & trim piece they can find.

Sorry no videos.
The Corsa website has audio clips, but they’re pretty bad.

I met some locals at meets and listened to a few different systems in person and read tons of reviews on the Forums before I decided to go with Corsa.
Honestly, the Borla system sounds better at idle and when you get on it, but it has a horrible DRONE when you’re cruising on the highway.
For a good weather daily driver and a car I take on vacation I couldn’t live with that.
There have even been many people who had the Borla and switched out to Corsa after a few weeks.

I witnessed a guy put a chopper frame, motor, and wheels and tires in the back of a corvette. I sat there thinking "this guy is nuts, it's not going to fit' and sure enough it all slipped in.
I’ve gotten some funny looks at the local Sam’s club & Home Depot putting big stuff in.

One guy in an SUV was watching me load my entire cart of stuff in and had to walk over and take a closer look.
He thought for sure I’d be putting stuff on the passenger seat, but I got it all in.

They look great, but with headers, 10-15 is without a tune. I made about 35whp with just headers and a tune on an LS1. Similar can be said for my frineds LS2 vette.

I jsut cant get over that. An RL only has 14ish cubic ft!
It's the 2 seats only part. It didn't matter much before, but I think I'll be needing room for more now.
