Just returning from Calgary having had their Corsa extreme exhaust and cold air intake package installed on my 24 Stingray. I must say that from making the appointment back in early April until driving away after picking my car up that it was one of the most satisfying experiences I have ever had dealing with any company , bar none . Very refreshing in this day and age . From pulling into the parking lot and being stunned by the number of amazing rides parked there to their awesome showroom and shop that alone was worth the vist .
Every one there I had the pleasure of dealing with, Steve , Namala and Matt were the friendliest most down to earth folks you could hope to meet. They make you feel at home right from the start . You can tell that this isn't just their business but their passion. Their attention to detail is impressive to say the least . I had dropped my car in the afternoon and the next day at about 5 Matt called me and said your car is ready but we would like to detail it . Would you like to pick it up now or would tomorrow morning around 9 be OK . I said no problem as I wasn't leaving till the next day . I expected it to be washed but wasn't ready for the fantastic job done both inside and out. Wow .
Now the outcome. When I fired it up I couldn't wipe the grin off my face . The sound is absolutely Devine. This is the one thing I have always felt was lacking in the Stingray. Well not anymore! If anyone has been thinking about having some work done by these amazing folks don't hesitate, just DO IT . I guarantee you will be as happy as a lark .

Congrats.
I had always said the stock exhaust is not aggressive enough for such a aggressive looking car of the C8. Everyone should do this that has the factory NPP. At least do the HFC if not both.

Mine is more than loud enough. I can hear it start from inside the house. My neighbor hears me as I go by. I hear them pass by my house (Though they may not all be stock NPP). I don't need an arrogant exhaust. We get too many straight pipe Harleys as it is.

There is the stealth mode to keep the noise under control at start up. I would do that out and about to show courtesy during startup.

Not on a 2020. Just normal and open, but I think it starts open and then closes. It sounds like it anyway.

Yes you really have to have the NPP or you will notice very little difference. In tour mode which I seldom use , it sounds basically stock as the valves are closed . But open the valves and hello ! And no drone what so ever. Awesome exhaust for sure.

Do you have the performance exhaust Murray ? As you no doubt know the valves open on start but just briefly then close . This Corsa does the same and after a few seconds close and sounds just like stock . My neighbor said to me the first time I started my car this season " darn I've missed that sound " lol so I lucked out there .

I did pass group of about 35 Bison along the side of the highway and got a couple of shots but not great ones as it was 2 lane with about a 4 inch shoulder and traffic. If I see any tomorrow I'll try to get more . It was a very long straight stretch and I saw them from probably 700 meters away. 4 or 5 were out to the center line and the rest were in the cleared space between the road and trees . They had about 4 or 5 calfs with them which is excellent. They are Woods Bison which are larger that Plains Bison . Big males can go over 2,000 lbs . There are warning signs along the road telling drivers to watch for them on the roadway as there are fairly often collisions which you really don't want to happen for obvious reasons. There were more ahead of this group.......another 5km or so up the road I saw 3 Woodland Caribou at the edge of the trees but couldn't get a shot. Kind of rare to see them .

Big ones weigh almost as much as a car . Would love to if I could. I prefer it to beef to be honest. Delicious. And lower saturated fat and more protein.
