C5 CORVETTE
Awesome Sound at
Full Throttle...
Whisper-Quiet Ride at
Cruising Speed
The Best Sound Around™
CORSA's revolutionary, patented exhaust system is now available for your C5 Corvette. Our Power-
Pulse RSC™ technology (Reflective Sound Cancellation) cancels out unwanted sound waves (or
frequencies) and eliminates annoying 1500-2200 rpm interior resonance -- giving you the quiet
interior ride you've dreamed about.
For your C5 choose from two, 2 1/2-inch systems, each designed to give you a different and unique
sound, but each with the same whisper-quiet interior ride. The Touring Edition delivers a crisp,
exotic exhaust note while the Pace Car Edition has a more aggressive sound, especially evident at
full throttle. Both editions are available in satin finish and there's four different exhaust tip systems to
choose from.
The CORSA Power-Plus RSC™
exhaust system was selected by
Chevrolet Specialty Vehicles for the:
- 1998 & 2002 Indy 500 C5
Pace Cars
- 1999-2001 Rolex 24 Hour C5
Pace Cars
- 1999 Le Mans C5 Pace Car
- 2002-2003 IRL C5 Pace Car

For reasons unknown, a running change was made to the "H"-pipe sometime in model year '97. The
change resulted in using a smaller connecting passage of approximately 5/8-inches, thus rendering the
"H"-pipe ineffective. From that change forward, C5s have had the smaller balance connection that
contributes to a popping exhaust sound on deceleration and a gurgling, or "motorboat" sound at idle.
From a pure performance standpoint, the "H"-pipe has some shortcomings. It is fairly restrictive because it
is placed 90 degrees to the path of exhaust flow and any crossover gases must turn a 90-degree corner.
For several years performance enthusiasts have been upgrading their dual exhaust systems with a more
advanced setup with the crossover, or XO-Pipe.
1997 Corvette Exhaust Design Change Set the Stage
Automakers and performance enthusiasts have been
installing balance tubes in dual exhaust systems for years.
Tests have shown that balancing the back pressure
between the independent exhaust branches increases
power and reduces resonance. When Chevrolet
introduced the C5 Corvette it installed a simple "H"-pipe
balance tube. It was roughly two inches in diameter and
provided adequate flow between the 2 1/2-inch catalytic
converter pipes.
CORSA's Ultimate C5 Crossover Pipe™
design provides improved, balanced side-to-side exhaust flow for increased power and reduces the exhaust "idle burble"
and popping on deceleration in most fifth-generation Corvettes. CORSA's XO-Pipe Crossover Pipe™ improves exhaust
flow, at the same time smoothing out the LS1 engine pulses for better throttle response and a cleaner sound. The perfect
complement to CORSA's Pace Car Edition muffler system
