Corsa C6, Z06, Grand Sport, & ZR1 Corvette Exhaust Systems

October 30th, 2008

With Corsa’s latest addition to the C6 Corvette Exhaust industry, they are sure to be one of the most talked about brands yet again. Corsa’s patented “reflective sound cancellation” technology has proven to produce the best combination of positive horsepower gains, added torque, no interior resonance and great sound over all other brand name performance Corvette exhaust systems.

For 2009 Corvette owners there are a few important facts that you need to know if you are interested in a Corsa Exhaust System… On the 2009 non Z06 Corvette, Chevrolet made slight changes with the rear crossmember. Though it was not a huge change, Corsa had to slightly modify their pipe routing to compensate for the re-design. All of their mufflers are still the same just with slightly different tubing. Also, for new ZR1 owners the 06-09′ Z06 Corsa exhaust systems will work on your Corvette with no modifications required.

The systems available for the 2009 C6 Corvette include the widely popular Corsa Sport exhaust system with quad 3.5″ tips, the Corsa Touring exhaust system with quad 3.5″ tips, the latest addition to the Corsa family, the Xtreme exhaust system with quad 3.5″ tips, and the Corsa Sport exhaust system for both the 2009 Z06 and new ZR1, which are available with dual or quad 4″ exhaust tips.

For 2009, Corsa has completely re-engineered their exhaust systems specifically for your 6-speed or A6 automatic equipped Corvette. The difference is Corsa’s development staff.  They painstakingly worked to specifically tune the frequencies so all you hear is the deep, aggressive, and appealing tones when you want to hear them. The net result is the engine makes more horsepower and torque due to straight through design, and produces a great sound with no interior resonance. In addition, you will also experience some trailing throttle noise (or burble) on deceleration, so do not be surprised when your audience thinks you are driving a race car. The 2009 Corvette Corsa Sport Exhaust System features all premium stainless steel construction, quad 3.5″ pro series tips, attaching hardware, installation instructions, and a limited lifetime warranty.

The Corsa Sport system will without a doubt give your Corvette a much more aggressive tone when compared to the stock application. For many this is great, but for those who are looking for that patented Corsa technology and not quite so much rumble, you may want to look at the C6 Corvette Corsa Touring Exhaust System. You will still hear a difference in this exhaust system over the stock system but not to the magnitude of the Corsa Sport. The main difference between the Sport and Touring applications are the muffler resonators, which are included with the Touring package. Where both systems are virtually a straight through design, the exhaust flow on the Touring setup must pass through the resonators, which will quiet the system by 3-decibels. This will leave your Corvette with added horsepower, an increase in torque, no interior resonance, and still a great sound. The 2009 Corsa Touring exhaust system includes premium stainless steel construction, quad 3.5″ pro series tips, H-Pipe assembly with muffler resonators, attaching hardware, installation instructions, and a limited lifetime warranty.

On the flip side of the Corsa Touring you have the Corsa Xtreme. Simply stated, Corsa has taken the Sport system and kicked it up a notch. The Xtreme system offers a deeper tone at idle, is 2-3 decibels louder outside the Corvette under throttle, yet still controls the interior sound level. The way Corsa has boosted the Sport system to make it “Xtreme” is by simply redesigning the mufflers to eliminate “problem sound” frequencies. In a typical Corsa muffler, sound waves are reflected off the muffler walls canceling each other out. The same is still the case for the Xtreme system just fewer cancellations take place. The 2009 Corvette Corsa Xtreme Exhaust System includes premium stainless steel construction, quad 3.5″ pro series tips, attaching hardware, installation instructions, and a limited lifetime warranty.

As with all Corsa exhaust systems, Z06 & ZR1 systems are constructed of premium stainless steel, include installation instructions and a limited lifetime warranty.
