Corsa Exhaust : Round 2 - E92 M3

Stephen142 · 06-21-2014, 09:38 PM

Nice reviews Kitw

I'm considering Corsa and ESS axle back to pair with MS test pipes and ESS tune

How would you compare those two

Mine is a E93 thou

Many Thanks

I'm running the MS test pipes and x-pipe so I'm completely catless with 2 resonators. Corsa axel back. It's hard to describe, I would say it is similar to a sport bike. It is for sure a high pitched exhaust, very exotic sounding. I honestly can say this is an amazing sounding exhaust. I pulled up next to a gallardo in down town Chicago and started revving and he was blown away at how loud it was. There is almost no drone, the design on this exhaust is amazing, I can't get over how loud it can get and still have no drone. If you are not getting on the throttle it is very tame. It really is the best of all worlds.

Do you have any videos of your setup? I'd love to hear it.

I can vouch for tareemaa. Heard his setup in person and previously had corsa w stock midpipe myself. Sounds amazing. The most exotic sound for our cars imo. Makes me kinda want to go back to that, just wish they made better looking tips.

And think, I have a tune with launch control, she didn't get to scream past 4k.

I finally have some time on my hands, I'll make some videos and post them soon

I have the Corsa with Turner test pipes and absolutely love it! I get people asking which one it is all the time and when I tell them they are amazed! Great exhaust but OP is right it is not pretty! I'm looking at painting mine black in hopes of hiding it a bit!

Sorry for the crappy iPhone photo I just walked in the garage and snapped a photo!

Don't mean to necro a thread, but this is one of my favorite reviews LOL; new m3 owner - trying to figure out what exhaust to get

I run the Corsa axle back on my M3 - sounds great on its own. For a daily driver imo its perfect - no drone & sounds awesome. If you can tolerate more volume it pairs nicely with an x-pipe and HFC's. I run it with a Gintani X-pipe with high flow cats and love the sound & volume - but its a track car. I would be ok with that volume on an occasional fun car but think it would get old on a daily driver.

^ this. Corsa catback for past 1year and really happy so far. No drone, just right amount of noise for dd. Considered MPE but corsa was significantly cheaper.

I keep looking at these Corsa reviews and would love to try one on. Proven tricky to get one at reasonable cost in Europe though, after been less happy with a Borla purchase I hesitate to pull trigger again. But one of these days....😎
