    Had it tested. Granted it was parked and the guy held the mic up about six feet behind the tails while I gunned it.

    And its mostly bass, so I've yet to get yelled at for volume. It just scares the pee out of other cars. :happy:

    when i heard the corsa's at the srt track exp. i did like them at wot, but when i drove the car with them installed, i did not like the lack of interior sound!!! too quiet for me. i have magnaflow muffs with custome bent 3" tubing..... loud at wot, very rumbly around town and nice low grumble at idle.... and i DEFINATELY hear them inside the car while cruising!!!

    Actually I think you hear the Corsa/Mopar quite well inside, much more than the stock exhaust. HOWEVER I will say this is a perfect example of why I always suggest trying to listen to the different exhaust systems yourself to see what you like best. You listening magic32, lol?? EVERYONE is different and has different tastes and preferences and there's so many different catbacks out there there's just about one to suite everyone's needs. Listen for yourself.

    thanks for all the input guys/gals. i am really becoming very concerned with drone. it seems that the only exhaust for the srt's that everybody can say with a shadow of a doubt has no drone is corsa and corsa only. i have had so many other fast and powerful cars and got so sick of the drone after only a short amount of time. if anybody can tell me without doubt that there are others that do not cause drone i am very open to buying these as well

    thanks again for all your help

    I believe that's a fair statement. With all the others the best you'll hear is "very little drone", "just a little drone at these rpms", etc. I think somebody thought they had drone with the Corsa but it turned out to be rubbing against something.

    I haven't really noticed drone, like rattle your teeth drone with my Zoomers, but again, they're audible all the time, unless you're like coasting. They do hit a mildly annoying tone between 65 and 70 mph.

    I had Corsa's and swapped them for Zoomers. What you are describing based on what I've experienced you want Corsa's...based on those two. I love both. I just like the rumble of the Zoomers. There are three (3) members here who ALL have think Zoomers sound "ricey". I'm pretty sure one of them said it and the other two just agreed with them and now say it. LOL

    "To me" Corsa's and Zoomers sound almost exactly the same a WOT. But, Corsa's have almost zero cabin noise while cruising. I wanted that rumble while cruising so I switched.

    Plus audible exhaust equals easier time noticing changes, like tranny problems because your fluid's almost gone... :whistle:

    Anyway, yeah, no one's blowing smoke up your hoo-ha, Corsa's the way to go if you want it quiet at cruising speeds and noticeable at WOT.

    I don't really have anything to compare with. But I just recently got my Mopar Catback (Corsa) and love the sound of it. It has the nice V8 rumble that I have always been seeking.

    Yeah, earlier this spring. The service guys caught it in time during a regular maintenance visit. I had noticed a slight difference in shifting though.

    The Corsa is the bomb, sounds awesome and racy. Zoomers is the only one I've heard that comes close. Sounds like you are getting the right answers here.

    I removed the resonaters from my stock exhaust and I've got the bass-like sound in spades. That's what the stock exhaust does and I would say there is little to no drone. If that's more of what you are looking for I would try that first because it is pretty cheap.
