I know I bought a expensive car but I just have a problem paying what they want for these mufflers. I am older and remember paying $125.00 for a set of Hooker headers and $79.00 for Headman headers.

oh man am I with you on that. I had a full exhaust on my 96 cobra for less than what some of these axle backs are going for. on my o6 I made my own magna flow axle back. cut the inlet pipe off the stock mufflers welded them to a pair of magna flow universals and welded on some 3" magna flow tips my buddy had laying around...total cost 125 bucks vs the 400 something magnaflow wanted for basically the same thing. here is a pic of themregalt87 said:I know I bought a expensive car but I just have a problem paying what they want for these mufflers.

No, I'm talking about the intermediate pipe before you get to the flat portion. A guy on TMS/SVTPP already cross-sectioned them.

I also have the Corsa Xtremes.
Here is a video if you haven't seen it yet. Crank the volume to 10 to get the true sound level. FYI the video was shot with 3/4" disks not 1/2". I must have had to many beers when doing the edit.

How much louder is it than stock? I have tried to get an idea from videos online but it is too hard to compare one video to another.
Teamsketch said:BossJockey, it seems like there are 4 different sections to the video. Can you explain which is which?

Stock with stock side disks or open sides? The black key idle is not much louder than stock. The Trackey idle is louder than stock. At 80 mph with the windows up, the cabin noise level with the Xtremes and stock to 1/2" disks is similar to if you were running stock mufflers and 7/8" to no disks. The biggest difference is under hard acceleration. They're loud under acceleration but not to bad on the inside of the car. I had a coworker that was behind me at a light tell me the next day that my car sounds awesome. ;D
+1 wondering the same thing302BOB said:Gww52, I run my side pipes wide open. Do you think I would hear a difference if I put the GT 500's on? Are they louder or just deeper sounding?
That's how I'm running my YB Boss. Yes, there is a noticeable difference- not a big difference, but noticeable. The sound is louder and has a deeper rumble.302BOB said:Gww52, I run my side pipes wide open. Do you think I would hear a difference if I put the GT 500's on? Are they louder or just deeper sounding?
Bill Pemberton said:The Corsa Extremes also will allow you to say , " Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, " instead of " China, China, China." Handbuilt in the US in Berea , Ohio, I frankly don't think there is a better catback made. It is a bit more money , but the fit and finish and the R&D they do on their systems is second to none. Axleback or catback , definitely the way to go in my estimation.
And since Cloud9 , Bossjockey and myself endorse them , it is now a required upgrade for Competition Orange Bosses, ha,ha!
