Corsa Extreme for C7Z

So I gots me one of the first Z06 specific Corsa Extreme exhaust kits. So fresh it's not even listed on the Corsa site yet. The PN is: 14766BLK.

I will post pics and videos below, but they the latter will not accurately portray the difference in sound this exhaust makes. The car has the deep throaty pitch that it should from factory, and it is much MUCH louder. No more drone than stock at highway speeds, but in all other conditions be prepared for the loud sexy to reverberate inside and outside the vehicle. I imagine the Sport version will be more tame ... this version is for those that embrace the idea that at least one of your senses never forgets you're driving a 650HP vehicle, and your neighbors better embrace it as well.

Once the engine is warm and the car is idling you will notice very little difference from the stock exhaust, but the slightest feathering of the throttle triggers the happy grinning. This exhaust isn't for everyone, NPP is disabled and if you're planning on adding headers it might be a smidgen too loud ... but for me it sounds perfect.

It also looks perfect for my taste. For the life of me, unless someone has chrome wheels, I can't understand why the tips were the only SS part on the vehicle. Now to me the ass looks correct and complements the rest of the vehicle. The Corsa lettering is the perfect hue and in the perfect position, only noticeable to those who care to take a closer look.

In short, I couldn't be happier with the results. I've never regretted a Corsa system and this is no exception.

Pics and stuff:











This last one is of the tech getting to the lowering bolts. As has been mentioned before the rear will only go down 1/4", so I'm going back with WCC lowering bolts to go down about an inch all around.



Pulling out of the shop (sorry it's windy and res is crap):



At home:



I will take better vids and pics soon, it was getting late and I was rushing to post this for you guys.

:cheers:

PS. It completely slipped my mind to take a 'before' sound clip, so I apologize for that. Hopefully there are many stock startup videos on the youtube that can be used for comparison

Beautiful car, love the sound too. Makes me want to trade but since I didn't hit the lottery yesterday I better get that thought out of my head.

Corsa makes a BA system, I had a non NPP car (Z51) and put the axle back and x pipe on (extreme variant), sounded ridiculous. In a good way of course!

I guess you could say that, or maybe a little darker than black chrome:



The inside looks a little lighter, and the outside looks true black because it's reflecting all the other black paint around it.
