GOT MY CORSA INSTALLED, FINALLY!!!! WOW!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

1JEWLDSSRS · 01-30-2021, 09:05 AM

Well guys and gals, I finally got my Corsa ZL1 catback installed yesterday, and the only thing I can say is,,,, HOLY CRAP MAN!! OMG!!! What a freakin awesome sounding system!! I have been through about 6 different setups on my Camaro and THIS one really takes the cake hands down!!! Just the startup alone standing behind the car will blow your socks off!! If you are wearing any. lol. Then when she idels down she will mellow out and sound just nasty.The sound it gives off with the big cam I have is amazing to say the least. It is so crisp, clean, precise, badass and at the same time "refined", if you know what I mean. Nothing like the Flowmaster sounded like at all. Driving the car now is a dream just cruising around, it has that "refined" nice growl and perfect pitch you want to hear going thru the gears from your exhaust and at the same time, NO DRONE at any speed!!! Very nice, wished I'd done this one long ago, but them I wouldn't have found a "new" sound for my baby to enjoy. On the other hand as mentioned in another thread by one of you, if you even think about romping on the throttle ya better put your earplugs in, she gets really loud, and proud until you let off, then you would hear quiet for a moment until the engine catches up to where you are cruising at, and then the awesome cruising sound the Corsa makes. And as mentioned in another thread, the sound this system has is behind you and NOT in the car with you, really different from what I'm used to, really cool.
Fit and finish of this system, very well made and worth EVERY penny I spent on it, for sure. I have a show tomorrow to attend and hoping my friend with the camcorder can go so I can get you all a video of this amazing sound, but as said before, the video probably doesn't do it justice, ya have to hear it in person!! I'm a happy camper!!! Cheers all..

Nice. I am starting to feel the urge to get one of my own. Hmmm but for the price, I could always get a set of T&D shaft mount rockers instead...

awesome that you got the Corsa!

Oh man, gonna have to start saving my pennies. I have been wanting this exhaust for what seems like forever. I have never heard it in person, but from what I hear online it sounds amazing and better than everything else. But you miss so much of the true tone and sounds through headphones and can never really express it accurately. Anyhow, very happy for you man. We are similar in regards to constantly trying out different exhausts in search of that 'perfect' setup. Sounds like you found yours.

You gonna make the video like that last one you made, hmmmm? That was really cool, just sayin'

lol, yep it was a bit pricey, but well worth it in my book! Yea man I'm happy as well! I went out driving all day today just so I could listen to it!! The popping and crackling when decelerating is insanely loud too!! Cool. When I'm driving around and people walking on the sidewalks here me coming up to traffic lights and stop signs, they stop and turn around and thumbs up!! More so than I did with the Flowmaster. lol. It just sounds so freakin awesome!! I put 75 miles on the Camaro today!! On the video I was just gonna do a cold start vid, idle and some revs, but I COULD do another set of burnouts, that was fun except for the minor sideways excursion I took. lol.

You'll like the shaft mounted rockers, goes well with a Cam Motion LLSR.

Bigdumogre · 01-30-2021, 06:31 PM

I enjoy my flowmasters but the drone at times gets annoying. Everyone raves about corsa so I may have to bite the bullet one day. The axle back would prob just bolt up I assume yi my old system

TheFlyingBananaSS · 01-30-2021, 06:55 PM

It's the best system for the Camaro. I have no drone and insanely loud when I step on it. I love driving under bridges and laying into it. Everyone in the other lanes looks around. Having a high lift cam definitely makes it even louder. And the chop of the cam sounds great. Congratulations ruby!!!

hehe thanks my friend!! Yea I found myself doing that yesterday and today when I went under a couple bridges and romped on it, sounds like the earth exploded and everyone looked around to see what just happened!! That I could see.. lol. Man it is crazy loud and I love it.

video?

xc_SS/RS · 01-31-2021, 09:51 PM

Knew you’d love it! It absolutely screams when you get on it. I can only imagine how much louder it is with a cam upgrade

Modernmusclecar · 02-01-2021, 02:13 AM

I've been preaching for years now. I knew you would love it. I'm about 3 weeks away from my cam and heads install. There is nothing better then Corsa for the 6.2. People spend money mixing and mathing exhausts when they should just buy a quality catback and call it a day. I could post up my setup on your thread if you don't mind. ...Corsa and a cam FTW.
