geswek Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I wasn't planning to mod yet, as I wanted to save a huge chunk of change and then do a bunch of things at once--but alas I'm not rich nor did I win the lottery. Tonight, I ordered my Corsa exhaust -- I was going to get it from Livernois but unfortunately I got it for a better price elsewhere. It was about a $100 different. Hopefully it shows up quick next week and I can get it installed at the dealership. The next on the list will be my intake--and then a tune probably. I think the exhaust, intake, and tune will be necessary for them to play nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yeah, it was tough. I really wanted to wait but I said screw it. I'd buy little at time while taking care of few other things. :-) I can't wait to get my exhaust in. I hope it sounds good or I'm going to cry like a little girl.

Great fit, really nice tips, almost silent while cruising but get on it and they have a great sound for a 6. I think you will like the system.

geswek Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 The sound is different; it's a V6 duh -- I like it; has a nice little growl to it. I do need more work; intake and tune--plus my suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Excellent! Nice shop too! Ford shop where I bought my car -- they are doing all the work, next to Livernois stuff. I'm good friends with the service manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geswek Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 It's been quite some time since the exhaust went on -- I will say that I definitely LOVE it now. It needed to break in for the tones to be even; at first they are obnoxiously loud and all over the place--it sounded like I had a weedwhacker that didn't know what it wanted to do. The tones were all bland and alternating--now that it's broken in, it's insane. I can fire up the remote start and listen to the turbo's spool up from rear of car. When I stomp it; the car sounds like something from Fast and Furious--a car that actually has power; not that fart can shit that cheap asses do to Honda Civic's because they can't afford real engine work. Over all; I'm VERY pleased with the system. The quality was top notch; $1250 for the system was well worth it; I don't regret the price considering this car was $48k and the price of fuel costs me almost $4 gallon; I'm not skipping on good mods because of money. Thanks Chris (Crash) and Mike (bpd) for the recommendations! I ow you both a beer very soon, even if I have to drive my solo arse to the burbs LOL.

geswek Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'll get one next time I get out; car is in parking garage and I'm lazy--just got back from Jersey and that's a 2 hour drive LOL. Trust me; it's worth it -- just close your eyes and hit "submit"; you won't regret it! Disclaimer; I take no responsibility for you spending $1250 on an exhaust system and not liking it regardless of what I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 HAHAH; I thought you'd get a kick out of that. I'll get your photo shortly, fixing to go get some dinner--I keep saying I'm gonna lose weight but I can't stop myself from getting into the car to get dinner. I love my car.

ShoBoat Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yup I can imagine going back to the stock exhaust, the car before just didn't have a voice. Now it does, the nice thing about the Corsa it really doesn't have a drone. It quiet until you step into it. I really like the way it sounds, it has a similar sound to a Nissan GTR which I think is kinda cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Don't get me wrong; it's loud; but it's the way it SHOULD sound. When you get on it; she lets out some noise and makes people look; coupled with the slingshot--most are like "WAH the fack was that?!" It sounds like a GTR and not a Honda rice rocket. I love it. Not to mention I can hear my turbo's spooling up when I start it in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed mine yesterday and as much as I like the loudness the inconsistency of the sound is driving me nuts. Did you have a grunt-like noise between 20~30mph?

I've had mine on for I think 1k miles -- it grunts when I'm on it. Overall it smooth; there are times when the sound is a little funny but I think that's just the engine--It kinda evens out and stays the same tone while your hammering it--it' not like the sound through RPM range, gear shift, RPM range etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guessed that the engine was more to blame for the varying sound, I have had issues with hesitation and uneven acceleration. Hopefully it'll be less noticeable after a while.

I have hesitation at times--it's not best tuned; I can't wait to get my Livernois Stage 4 tune in; it's going to clean the car up INCREDIBLY. Uneven acceleration I feel at times; I think that might be mapping tho-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention I can hear my turbo's spooling up when I start it in the morning I agree 100%, was unsure on the sound for a couple of days following the install, but I am in love with this exhaust now. A sti pulled up behind me at a red light, and started to rev the engine, and I reved mine back at them. The look on the guy's face... PRICELESS.
