Yes. The car feels much stronger all over now. But especially when it hits about 3 grand (where it usually really kicks in) it is quite a bit stronger. I think it is the most noticeable improvement from a mod I've ever felt. I did used to bolt a lot of things on to my '87 Corvette, and while sometimes I could feel it and sometimes not, I've never felt an increase this strong. I suspect the stock system is incredibly restrictive (if you've ever seen OEM's they usually have like three different chambers and tubes connecting them so the exhaust has to flow forwards and backwards and sideways just to get out). I can literally see right through the Corsas. I can't imagine they are much more restrictive than if I just had 2 1/2" pipes following the same general path. But they are much much quieter. They really are amazing. I just can't say enough about them. They make other exhaust systems seem almost criminal, especially the ones that cost as much, are louder, and are still more restrictive.
I think they should be standard equipment on all Auroras. They are really that great without being intrusive at all. Incidentally, GM has
Corsa tips on many of their show cars (probably not Corsa exhaust systems as those cars won't be driven, but maybe they do). All the Pontiac GXPs have them. Corsa also made the systems for the Corvette Indy Pace Car (I think 1998?), the 2000 Aurora Indy Pace Car, and the STS that paced Le Mans a few times.
