Damn that car is beautiful. I love that color. Sounds great too. I have always liked the sound of the SW retro exhaust. I still prefer the Corsa Xtreme, but I have neither installed, so take that for what it's worth.

Honestly, you cannot go wrong with either setup.

If I didn't already have the Corsa Xtreme I would have the Stainless Works Retro Chamberd catback

It came down to these 2 for me as well, but liked the corsa extreme a little better. Some of the claims out there that SW is a big restriction turned me away as well.

I've always liked the SW retro chambered catback. A buddy of mine has it on his car and it is just a nice deep sounding exhaust.

Of course I had to laugh at the first video when you all but crapped your pants while running over the power cord or bucket lid. It made me jump too, but the look on your face was priceless!

I was going to bring that up but I didn't want to open a can of worms. The muffler design they use necks down quite a bit inside. Also, they sell a similar exhaust setup but with turbo style mufflers instead. Those were tested on a dyno on a CTS-V (Youtube video by RPM Motorsports I believe) and were causing a massive loss of HP.

I imagine at my power level it would be no issue at all, but 600rwhp or higher they could be a restriction.

I am torn between the corsa or leaving the NPP that the car came with.
But I am thinking the 3in exhaust will help my car a lot better. But for now I can't afford the corsa LOL

There's a vId that showed cutting open the muffler on the SW. ..it reduced down alot...I dont even think it was 2 inch. But I can't find it now.

NPP FTW!!! I like my NPP muffler on my SS. I did the muffler mod on it though, so it sounds 1000x better than your regular NPP. https://youtu.be/RqBwd1LTDPg
Stick with your 2.5. 3 inch exhaust will only net you 15whp on avg. not worth the cost to power.


Corsas are nice too, I have them on my C6Z

I am a strong proponent of catless longtubes, x-pipe, and leaving the rest of the system stock. I think it sounds wicked and I get compliments frequently on how it sounds.

Arch, is that your car? If so, can you edit the video and list the engine mods you have?
