Help me decide between Corsa Pace or Corsa Z Ti exhaust

I really want to Ti system however it is a little (ok a lot) on the steep side and I don't like the idea of two 4" tips.

If I went with the Corsa Pace system does the added weight REALLY make a difference or is it all in the head. I really like the Pro series quad tips and the sound bite on their web sight sounds good. And I can get a good deal on one for almost half of the Z Ti system.

I noticed according to the web site the Pace system has a deeper sound than the Ti Z series. For those who have heard both systems does that sound right?

What do you all think?

Is the added or for that matter the reduced weight of the two systems as compared to stock REALLY make a difference?

I have never heard either system in person, anybody in my area have either system that I could listen to to get an idea of the sounds of each.

Or maybe some of you can make some of your own sound bites with either of those two systems and post them??

Plan on purchasing the Ti system with mufflers, as resonance on a street driven car is excessive, IMHO. I believe it is lighter (15-20#'s) and makes more horsepower (5-10hp)than everything else out there and has a distinct, exotic sound. It just depends if these incremental benefits are worth $1k more than another cat back to YOU.

They were to me and I'd do it again. This is the best Corvette ever and I have decided to only put the best parts available (not necessarily the most expensive, but usually ) on it.

Just my $0.02.

Corsa Ti Race system saves 17#'s and adds 21 HP!

Cost is $1395 list vs. $600-800 for the typE (Pace).

I love the Corsa Ti Race System and I don't mind the resonance.
The resonance only appears at constant 4000 RPM and at a constant 85 MPH. I stay at neither very long.

The TI system is loud compared to the regular Corsa system. If you dont mind the sound, why not?

Good luck.

DJ, do you ever drive with the windows up? With mine up and the Race system installed, the resonance is quite prevalent. Not bad at all with the windows down, except from 2100-2900 rpm. It's as quiet as stock cruising at 3k rpm, until you put your foot in it. I am installing the mufflers on Friday and will post the difference then.
