The install was easy, and I was able to complete it right in my garage. After it was on, I was a little disappointed, because from inside the vehicle, the H3 didn't sound any tougher. But when my brother drove behind me, he was amazed at how much better it sounded. I asked him to do a few drive-bys with my H3 so I could hear it, and now I AM SATISFIED. From inside, you can hardly tell, but that is what CORSA brags about in their literature, so they definitely did their homework. From behind, it looks much better than stock, and doesn't look like it will get in the way when I am off-road. Overall,,, I give it a thumbs-up! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Any chance of getting sound clips from inside the cabin, and a drive-by. If not, does anyone in southern california have this exhaust? I would like to hear it!

Please tell us more about the Corsa exhaust(based on actual experiences after installation).

Noise and sound outside, cabin noise level compared to stock, etc.


Thanks.

Steve, I talked to Hummer Solutions and they will be carrying the Corsa exhaust also. $875 and they're local to the Bay Area.

Sewie,

Thanks for the link. Have you checked these guys out or seen their shop? Just curious.

That's good news. I called around all over the place and it seems like only realwheels has them in stock. I'm pretty sure that Jason from H2 source carries their products. I'm going to check with him to see if he can get me a better deal. I sure hope it help out the sound on the H3 because I think that it is really weak.

The lack of sound inside the cabin is probably a good thing. Other systems caused unpleasant droning in the cabin at certain speeds. After you put on a few more miles, maybe you can update us on your impression again. And of course some pictures later please.

Noise and sound outside, cabin noise level compared to stock, etc. Yeah! What's the story?

No.. There isn't realy any cabin noise. And at highway speed the sound seems the same (at least similar) to stock. I did have a chance to compare to another H3 with an aftermarket exhaust, and the Corsa sounded way better. The guy with the other H3 said he had a BB exhaust. Even the tips looked much cheaper. I don't plan to do too much chrome, but I thought about getting the chrome air cleaner covers. With the lux package, I think they would compliment the other small chrome items on the H3. Thoughts? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Rfox - appreciate the feedback. I'm very interested in getting this Corsa system. I'll check with the local dealer here (they carry Real Wheels products). I drove their H3 with SMA intake and exhaust and I wasn't impressed, noise was not good. The pictures on the Corsa website look great.

Yea I am one of the H3 owners on the forum that admits to liking some bling. I have a luxury pkg H3 with chrome pkg, chrome wheels, chrome side steps, chrome Real Wheels locking gas cap cover, etc. But I think the chrome air cleaner covers are a bit too much for my taste. Later I'm thinking of 20" wheels with Nitto Terra Grabbler tires, so I'm one to be talking about too much bling .

Keep us posted in your H3 and have fun with it .
