Vibrant or Corksport Exhaust?
 

Hey guys, I'm just wondering which exhaust I should go with. I'm torn between the Vibrant Catback and the Corksport Catback. I'm leaning toward the Corksport, but I'm still unsure. Any suggestions are welcome.

I will let you know soon
 

Just Bought the CorkSport Cat back I will give you a full report soon!!!!!!

hey, have you gotten the exhaust installed yet? i'm really anxious to know, and it sounds awesome from the clips i've heard!

Just got it on
 

I love the Cork Sport... If you want quite... get a true cat back not a cat delete like the cork sport. If you want a great flow and nice throaty tone that is not obnoxious get the cork sport... My girlfriend thinks its lowd but I can talk normal in the car with passengers.

Great throttle response... and the motor pulls nicely through the mid range
(even made my girlfriend smile getting on the highway)

I would not trade it for another.

Thank you so much!
 

Thanks a ton! I'm really anxious to be able to buy it, hopefully along with an AEM Cold Air Intake. i'm already running 16.6 secs at the quarter mile (ew, i know. the car is an automatic) and i'm hoping that those 2 mods plus some possible other things will put me into the 15's? thanks a bunch though.

by the way, i'm just wondering. Did you buy the Corksport Stainless Steel Catback Exhaust or the AutoEXE exhaust? i'm thinking you bought the stainless steel catback, but i'm not positive which one you meant. if you did buy the stainless steel catback, is it street legal? because the website says it is sold for race use only.

The website says for off road only because it deletes a cat. Therefore it is not streetlegal and would not pass emisions (most likely).

I for one would buy a vibrant exhaust system. It is the best sounding I have ever heard ...and it comes included with a high flow cat. Vibrant is the only exhaust system that includes the high flow cat ... pretty good deal if you look at it that way.

high flow cat
 

SR motorsports also sells a complete exhaust system with a high flow cat for like ~$750 i think....I don't know much about it or if it is any good but worth checking into i suppose.

Even if they do ... what would make it worth 150 bucks more than the vibrant exhaust. SR motorsports stuff is through the roof expensive.

Don't get the SR exhaust. They overprice their items to fund their racing program.

I have the Trubendz exhaust and love it....2.5" piping and no resonator. Its loud, so I would recommend getting a resonator.

But great bang for your buck.

Other then that I have seen other 3's with corksport and love it.

Another good option is the HKS but you do have to lengthen the piping for the sedan, but any good exhaust shop can do that.

Vibrant is better
 

nah man dont get the corksport, my buddy has it on his and i got the vibrant on mine (both manual transmission) and the vibrant gives out so much more power that the cork sport and sounds way better

so the vibrant for sure includes a high flow cat and everything bolts up to the header right? Meaning there isn't any hacking and clamping required? That's one of the reasons I was leaning towards the SR Motosports was because they specifically say that their system includes the high flow cat. If Vibrant's does as well, it will surely become the frontrunner for me along with their header.

yea it comes with a high flow cat
and it sounds so sexy, but be sure you get headers with it
