Just the Muffler
I gotta say, I agree with Corsa on not selling just the muffler.
As an owner of a Touring system, I reflect on the price of my system often. People listen to it in and out of the cab and like it but always ask "How Much?" Most do not understand.
I really like a really quiet in-cab atmosphere. With the nice ride, leather seats and XM radio, why should I constantly bombard my self with exhaust resonance? This is also why I run Michelin Cross Terrains, because they are most likley the quietest running tire I have ever run. I like performance and a nice sound outside too. I have tried lots of systems without the success of a resonance free highway cruise only to drop them to the ground and give some lucky soul a good deal on a used system.
So I try and comfort myself with the notion of what I have paid for. A well built life time warranted system with a straight through flow that does not resonate as lesser built units do.
Now if Corsa started selling stand alone mufflers and folks went to splicing them into all sorts of configurations, I believe they would loose allot of reputation as to what they are marketing. A quiet in-cab system that flows in performance numbers and is not annoying in the cab.
You can't blame them for that, agree?

I'm a little surprised they do not offer at least 2 different tip configurations.
maybe at least a cosmetic dual out the rear or 2 trick looking rear corner turn down tips.
Anyways, I'm on a big waiting list I assume.
