The Corsa is not quiet by any stretch of the imagination. I love mine.

My opinion exactly!!! Just love it with the TVS2300. Quiet at idle but comes to life when you stand on it.

With the factory cats and manifolds in place nothing should really upset the neighbors. Unless they are just unreasonable people. The SW retro chambered system is pretty aggressive but their S-Tube turbo system is actually their most aggressive system.

I wish both were load enough to piss off neighbors. I think that will take LT headers. I like pissing off brother in law better so headers will come soon. Don't want to void warranty yet but I sure would like too!

With stock cats in place. No. With headers and high flow cats, they will know when you come and go.

o ya I should have said im doing lt headers w hf cats at the same time and a cam. I have to drive right under my neighbors windows. I drive a lot at night like 3am i might get home. Is it bad idling? w/ 3.91 gears I just idle it across the parking lot to the road then im good to go.

No, it will bark when you start it but lower RPMs are not obnoxious.

Stainless works All the way! I believe aside from the Borla atak or type a system the retro cat back is the best sounding system.

Keep in mind you may have to retighten or adjust the system shortly after install. Lik 1 heat cycle

I don't have any experience with Corsa but love my SW headers and retro chambered exhaust. Not obnoxious at all, but sounds great when you get on it.

Abrahams11SS · 11-30-2013, 08:21 PM

Stainless works is awesome. Best sound hands down for a catback. Add some long tubes and you will definitely piss off the neighbors. Add a cam on top of that and you will rattle houses. I can send you a video if you want. Adding boost soon and that will probably change things as well.
