I know SilveRT8 has - but anyone else?

I've got them but with Belanger headers so I can't comment on the sound of the Corsa's alone. I also whimped out and had Mark put them on instead of tackling it myself.

No drone at all? Main reason I am looking at them really...

No. No drone to speak of, just an excessive volume of V-10 bliss. I like a high volume but good sounding exhaust and this combo delivers.

I have lost track but i have had them on at least 6 Vipers and a Caddy CTS-V. Big fan. I have Hennessey on Gts--excellent

I want to hear it. Mark is also working on lots of header jobs that I want to hear

Sound from side pipe cars is so subjective and listening to sound clips compounds the confusion.

We have a couple short clips here if you want to hear at least on the video, I think they sound pretty similar to this in person... We have sold 9 of them and so far everyone has liked the sound.

Need to decide if I want to try and install it myself or just pay someone to do it...

Nice! Install it yourself while having the baby in crib next to you in the garage, LOL. Multi-tasking, scoring points with the wife.. I kid, unless you have a heated garage :p
If you do it yourself, take lots of pics and post a how-to.

I have the Woodhouse installed Belangers and Corsa. Love the sound.
Yesterday was the first time to get it on the interstate for any distance. No drone - loud but no drone.

Great to hear. The drone was starting to get to me a bit, glad Corsa has it figured out (why can't SRT is the real question?)

I like the drone & think it needs to be even louder! Live the Belanger header/ Cirda exhaust note at idle - very Gressive but was concerned based upon a rev I heard that it might not be loud while accelerating. Glad to hear it still is ;)

LOL, well my Camaro is loud with its longtube headers, high flow cats and ARH mufflers, but drone-free. You can have one without the other!

Go with the Belanger's and the Corsa's and you won't have to worry about it not being loud enough. It's loud!!!

Was wondering if anybody has the Belanger & HF cat with the stock muffler. For me all 3 would be to loud...
SilveRT8
01-14-2014, 05:57 PM
Mine has Corsa mufflers only with stock headers, no drone, one step louder than stock, but not too loud, just the way it should be from the factory.
I wonder how much louder adding the belanger w/ HF cats will make it ? Cant wait to hear a video from one of you guys !

I had this set-up on my Gen4, and sound was similar to stock headers with popular catback, but gave more power because of the headers.

I'll try to record some sound from inside the car this weekend. It is loud, will wear ear plugs when tracking it.

SilveRT8, Just based on sound alone, which do you like better & why? I'm thinking the corsa is crisp sounding? headers are throaty... lol

Anyone know how long it would take a Viper Tech to install? I need to order some stuff to do the install myself, but would like to weigh costs of buying tools myself and just having someone experienced do it.

Mine was not done by a 'Viper Tech', just my local garage Mechanix. I'll give him a call tomorrow to find out how long it took him to do the exhaust only? I remember that he told me it was a fairly easy job.

On a Gen4 that I heard the Corsa alone was crisp sounding, even raspy, but to my surprise it is nice and throaty enough on a Gen5. In my mind, closer to a Gen4 with Borla.

My son and I have installed 5 sets of Corsa's on Gen 3/4. It takes us (him) around 3 to 4 hrs with the car on a lift. The hard part is getting the tip in the right position in side sill. The drivers side is the easiest, but the passenger side on every install we (he) had to bend the mount to keep the tip from sticking out to far. We just heated the bracket up a little at a time and then trial fit the side sill for the right position. Have someone help you to get the side sill off and on to get the right measurements.

The G5 has a couple of fasteners that can stop the install until you figure it out. The sill/rocker at the rear is fastened to the top body panel. About four inches from the wheel wheel there is a bracket and two bolts (behind the sill) that attaches the top body panel to the sill/rocker. You have to pull the front of the rear wheelwell liner out several inches and get behind the liner to get to the two bolts.

Finally got the sill off. The hardest part so far has been just getting the damned wheel well liner back correctly. the pictures given by corsa are a bit of a distraction, I'll post up my "tips" on it when I am done. So far an hour into one side, just getting to ripping out the existing muffler
ViperSmith
01-18-2014, 07:48 PM
All done. I'd say about 5-5.5 hr total. Had no idea what I was doing at all so I consider it a success.
Still, the wheel well was the biggest PITA

How does it sound?

Is this the 11416 cross exhaust for 2014 Viper? Does it come with black tips and how would the sound ha he with ARH chatted headers vs bellanger and is a tune needed for no cel or can one or both just bolt on for so,e good power and sound? Best price on the corsa I have seen is about $1100 shipped any vendors that can beat that price and have to 87111 by Tuesday.

Do you know if the Belanger high flow cats with the corsa exahust would be just as loud or do the belanger headers really take it to another level? I am thinking of Belganger High Flow Cats with the Corsa cat back - no headers.

I do not think the Belanger headers make the car louder, however, they do change the sound type. My progression was, Corsa muffler, then Belanger headers/high flow cats, then ARH and finally catless.

In my experience with my '08, high flow cats made the exhaust substantially louder, even with the stock exhaust manifolds and stock mufflers.

i was initially going to do what Steve did but decided to add the belanger mufflers along with the hi flow cats. IMO its louder but nowhere near obnoxious. i love it and am glad i did it. also, i purchased mine through JonB at parts rack and he was very helpful as far as far as going over different options and a real pleasure to deal with.

Lookup the Prefix thread on exhausts, the short story is, the header manufacturer's do not always use the same cat or muffler because they use a third party for those items. Therefore, comparisons are not always accurate.

I have the Corsa exhaust......but did it a little different.....Stock Exhaust Manifolds, Stock Cats....BUT, hollowed out the 2nd Cat. It is a little louder than stock and the Popping you get when slowing down is fun!
The 2nd Cat is an after cat......so, no issues. It takes a bit of work but is worth it and did help with the heat a lot.
Got my exhaust thru Doug Shelby.

Why would you have done that? The factory cats are quite expensive to replace, wouldn't it have been better to simply purchase a single high flow cat pipe and leave the factory cat pipe unmolested?

Interesting - if the second O2 sensor is in the same position, you would think you would get a CEL??

The second cat is what they call an after cat......the sensor is before it so it will not set off any codes.....been running it this way almost 2 years.....helped with the heat a lot.
