I'm running ASM headers no cats a custom wye-pipe with a Flowmaster true wye with a 3" mandril bent single pipe with a Hooker muffler and a 3 1/2" polished tip in the stock location.I have people ask me at red lights what kind of exhaust I have.Oh yeah I've got a 3" electric cut out just behind the wye pipe for those special occasions when loud is not loud enough.

I like the Corsa Sport edition personally. Just waiting to get some money to buy it and the Dynatech Headers at the same time. Still waiting to hear what those Aero-turbine mufflers sound like on our trucks though.

To Demo a Corsa, Cruise Some GM Dealerships.
Lots of GM dealers are getting demos and\or purchasing catbacks from Corsa and adding 20 inch wheels to dress up show room models. As with myself, folks are reporting having no trouble getting a test or demo ride. Most are getting the sport (louder) edition of the Corsa catback. I have seen and ridden a dual rear exit Sport edition. Not bad but I am into as silent as I can get with a substantial flow increase.
What it sounds like you are looking for describes the Corsa Touring (quieter) edition I have on my truck. See my signature.
Just loud enough in the cab at normal city speeds to indicate it is there. At highway cruise speeds it is silent in the cab. When you floor it and it gets to the mid to upper revs it opens up nicely.
At it's loudest in the cab, one does not need to speak any louder or run the volume up on the audio.
It would be nice to be able to ride in all the different makes of pipes wouldn't it?

The site has a sound clip of a 5.3 taking off. Its pretty close to what I have just not as loud. I beleive the truck also had AZ long Tubes on it. I also think the Truck is the "Thunder Edition" made by somebody back in the day??
