Corsa doesn't need NPP to be quiet inside either


I had Corsa with headers and no cats on my last car and it was totally quiet inside while cruising. My comparison video shows that both are so very close but Corsa is even quieter inside.

You won't go wrong either way...

was a good thing for the video that our track day got rained out and we had nothing else to do.

I’m also torn between AWE and Corsa NPP cat back systems. The thousand dollar cheaper price for AWE is obviously attractive. Am seeing that wrong though? If that is the case, anyone know what you get for the extra 1k with Corsa?

Edit: Never mind answered my own question, AWE doesn’t have NPP valves etc, sorry, carry on.

Video's never do any justice to the real sound but based on that video, the Corsa just has too much rasp for my liking. Again though, it may be different in person as I've found that to be the case with almost all exhaust videos.

NPP isn't worth anywhere near 1k unless you really want it that bad.

I haven't followed pricing on these but for 1k there really is no quality difference between the two. Fit and finish is perfect on both.

Corsa has always had too much rasp for a lot of peoples liking. That's the trade-off between fighting drone and no drone.

Always better to hear in person, but after being there in person and driving both of these cars I will say it captured it very well. The camera used was very high end as well since this was the guy hired to shoot the drag event.

Previous owner basically straight piped mine so I gotta quiet it down inside mostly.

I likenthe larger tips on the awe setup, but I've heard corsa is a bit quieter in the cabin which is more what I'm after I think.

I've got a stroker motor 4th gen when I wanna be loud haha

Thanks, appreciate it. I think I’m set on a catback Touring AWE and a Roto-Fab for more sound on both ends.

If you want a used Rotofab I just listed one in the member classifieds.

I appreciate everyone who posted clips and responded about exhausts. I'm hopefully picking up a ZL1 in near future, and definitely going with AWE after my searches. However, I think I'm leaning towards Resonated; even though it is only rated a little higher than stock. Anyone have any clips or links? Seems like everyone did non-resonated except one vid or two on Youtube. Also, since the link pipes are no longer available, any resonated vid has cats removed. I'm looking for louder than stock, but don't want it extremely loud. I don't plan on doing any more mods in future (i.e. headers, cam, etc)...just strictly exhaust.

Resonated sounds fantastic, you won't notice much difference over non-resonated other than resonators take a little of the rasp out of the sound which is actually preferable.
