Default Just installed my Corsa dB on my 2011 Fx4 5.0

The tone is perfect. It sounds great. It is VERY quiet. Its a 'i cant even hear it when I am outside on the other side of the truck' type quiet. Under load it does wake up a bit, but still doesnt scream.

I have mixed feelings because I like a loud truck but my wife does not. To say the least this is a bit quieter than I expected, but I am still pleased with it. The construction of the unit is top notch.

One thing I notice is that the system retains the stock resonator. How much louder are the 5.0's when you take out the resonator?

I may put some LT headers on the truck in the future which im sure will make the truck louder.

Overall, I am happy with my purchase and I think i have some options to make this system louder in the future if I decide to do so.

I will try to make some videos and post them, Im working the next 3 nights in a row so it wont be before then.


Thanks for reading!

Lose the resonator and it will growl better for sure.

Im saving this thread for later when i get off work.

when i do exhaust, it will be either corsa or borla. if Borla ever comes out with a dual side exit...im sold.

I love the corsa system on my 06. Fit/finish and build quality are definitely top notch with Corsa.

Sounds awesome! Does taking off the resonator effect anything, computer wise?
