[jeff hanson]

Sounds killer Scott, ofcourse I love it!

Sounds nasty! Ddi you get the red or black series mufflers???

[zbugger]

That sounds awesome Scott!! I've been wondering about those mufflers for my car. Do you happen to know the dimensions on them? And how would you compare them to the Flowmasters?

I dont have a lot of 'before' videos with the spintechs. Most of them were taken inside the garage so it echoes more than out on the driveway. But here's that little test drive video from last summer:

They are the Red Series.

The case size is 15" x 10" x 4" and the overall length is 18.5".

As for comparing them to Flowmasters or the Spintechs... they have more treble at idle. The spintechs were all bass, like a Flowmaster, but without the tinny, ringing traditional Flowmaster sound.

The Spintechs had a lot of drone at road speed. I think the Spintechs would make an awesome pro-street muffler. They thump really hard and sound like they were made for a high compression big block. Extremely throaty, but just not road friendly.

The Corsas on the other hand, have a more treble sound at idle but still have a deep sound. Hard to explain I guess. They don't pound the ground but still have a deep sound. Rolling around town and cruising down the highway, they are pretty quiet. They seem to actually get a bit quieter at road speed. But what I really love about them is that once you stand on it, they just scream... they have the 'Corsa' sound at WOT and are pretty loud. It reminds me a lot of a certain ProCharged C6ZO6 at WOT. It doesn't surprise me that they scream at WOT, when you hold the muffler up, you can look straight through it. I have to believe that they flow a lot more than the Spintech's that I took off.

I'll try to get some video of the car at WOT soon. The weather here has been really crappy.

Test Drive with Spintechs

It is tough to tell the difference on the two tapes, but I noticed in this vid that you have a serious lip going into your driveway huh? That causing any issues now that the front clip is on? Put down some board to drive up a bit smoother?

And just wait until your son turns 16 and wants the keys to impress a date???

Thanks for the info...I really like the sound of them. I think them or some Borla XR1's will be my next muffler.

Sounds good.
Too bad they don't list a 3" size since I already have the pipes.

[Spiffav8]

From the sounds of your camera man talking and the looks of your co-pilot in the test drive video I'm wondering about your build team. Those kids do pretty good work.

That thing sounds badass with both mufflers, I would have to say the louder flowmaster type drone is quite annoying when driving. I think you'll be much happier with the Corsa's if they are any similar to a Magnaflow which scream at WOT.

I think we need burnout video's to make a final conclusion

BTW Scott, what are the specs on that cam?

I'm running the 2.5" mufflers. I was concerned about that, but after several calls to Corsa, they assured me that 600hp would be no problem because of the straight-through design. It's pretty cool how you can look straight through them. Comparing that design to the cut-away of a spintech, I have to believe that while the piping is smaller, they flow more/have less restriction than a 3" spintech. I'm using a Flowmaster reducer that makes the 3" to 2.5" reduction over 6", so it's a real gradual taper.

Corsa has offered to take one of my Spintech's and put it on their flow bench, maybe I should take them up on that. Could be pretty interesting!
