Time for exhaust and I’ve got my choices narrowed down to the Corsa Sport or Touring systems.  Love the look of the tips that come with the kits along with fit/finish of the systems.  The issue is which level? I’d like to actually hear my exhaust system when I want but also would like nothing too stupid loud or annoying on the hwy.  Love the sound of my neighbor’s TRD exhaust on his Tundra when he starts it up.  I’m kinda leaning towards the Corsa Touring system, but also concerned that it may be too tame.  What are the opinions of all you out there?  I’ve been reading up but it’s hard to find much on the Touring system vs the Sport.

Everyone who replies should also post their age!  Youtube has lots of user videos of the two.  There is a good video by a Corsa rep that I happened to watch yesterday:

Thanks for the video.  I have seen that in the past.  There are a few touring videos on the tube but not many comparisons of the two systems.  I think I’d like the touring system, but don’t want something that’s only slightly different than stock.

I had the sport on my pickup and it was awesome. Definitely loud when you hammer down and on cold starts, but not too bad cruising and ideling. Then I put headers and catless y pipe and it was stupid loud! I have the 6.2 and Corsa does not make the touring for the 6.2. If you have no plans on doing headers I'd say sport.

I just bought a touring, might be able to get it on this weekend. Based on the videos I saw, the touring is just a touch quieter and I plan to add headers later, so don't want it to sound like my old camaro. When I get it on I'll try to post a video. I think the sport was borderline for me, so I went more conservative.

Any news on your corsa touring system?  How do you like it? How’s the volume level? Any chopper sound from not having a flapper?

It's perfect.  It can be growly on startup and down low. While I'm driving I barely hear it in the cab. When your in a tunnel or something you can hear it.  Nice tone.  Your going to get that chopper sound no matter what unless you get a delete on the v4 mode, which is better in theory than practice anyway.  I think the best mod I have done so far besides the exhaust was the diablew tune, really woke the truck up and smoothed her out. 

 

I'd say if you are looking for. Damn now that's an exhaust. Touring isn't for you. If you want. What a clean and agressive factory esque tone.  That's the tour

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
