After driving it for the last day or 2, I have to add to my findings...

The sound is super raw! There IS drone, and this exhaust is a lot louder than I expected. Under WOT it's like a NASCAR. During the initial start on a cold start-up it sounds like you're awakening a beast; but it quiets down soon after! I will definitely be swapping off my Sport muffler for the Touring Muffler. I do not recommend running Long Tubes with the Corsa Sport Exhaust; it's just too loud for daily driving.

I have heard/read the same thing about this combo. On the bright side-you should be able to sell that Sport muffler awfully quick ;)

Someone in another thread literally just posted to buy my muffler whenever I am ready to get rid of it!

Calling Corsa tomorrow to see if they can sell me just the muffler. I read on other forums that they do sometimes for $300-$400.

Yep that was me, haha, Im def interested in just the muffler, the wife hates dual side exit exhaust so the whole kit had been out of the question for a while. As this is her primary vehicle that all MY money goes too. LOL, cool man let me know your findings. Had to subscribe to this thread also.

HAHA That's funny.
Do you know if the muffler would be a direct bolt-on for me? Going from NNBS to NBS and all...

I'm pretty sure from what I have read that they are...but SCSS or an expert would have the best answer for ya.

Plus SCSS I don't think said what year the muffler was off of.

Doubtful that you can get just a muffler, unless you get the dB series (made for Mustangs).

Just got off the phone with Corsa and they said that they do not even offer the Touring exhaust system anymore. It has been obsolete for over a year now they said. Looks like I will have to buy the Touring and just put the Sport exhaust in the box and return it, lol. shhhh

Or, I will sell the Corsa Sport Exhaust if anyone is interested. Literally brand new. I put it on like 2 days ago.

I just bought the last Corsa Touring exhaust off of Amazon. Super excited!! Message me if you want a Corsa Sport Exhaust in brand new conditon for $850 SHIPPED!

looks like I will just have a loud ass denali with the headers and the corsa sport lol, i dont drive it everyday so it shouldnt be that big of a deal. its going to be just the catback for a while though, probably an intake and a 93 tune soon. by the time has the cam and nitrous setup I will have a new CTS-V to daily :).

Do the OBX headers mount right up to where the corsa sport catback is? so 100% of your exhaust is not stock correct?

Buy my exhaust! haha

The OBX headers mount up directly to the OEM exhaust or the Corsa Exhaust with no problem. My entire exhaust system is aftermarket (not stock).

Dang that sucks, but I'm glad you got a new system. There is another member on here selling just the muffler so I may pick that up from him. So GLWS buddy. This actually worked out really well for 4 of us members. Nice work.
