Default I have new 06 stsv myself wondering about the corsa exhaust?

I was looking at the stage 1.5 by d3 cadillac saw that you have the corsa exhaust how des it sound? did you dyno before and after install I had heard mixed results that it did not increase hp at all but d3 claims it does.

I did not do a before and after dyno. I don't believe the Corsa alone gave me any power. At least I haven't notice any more power on the butt dyno. I do love the sound. Amazingly like Corsa says the exhaust is quite while cruising. At 65 to 80 mph, I hear more road and tire noise and the exhaust sound is way in the back ground, the exhaust is as quiet as the stock. While driving around town using low to moderate throttle application the car isn't very loud. However if you stomp on it, the exhaust positively just roars. I did a little test today in the parking structure at the mall where my daughter works. I was just cruising through the structure at about 10mph in 1st. I goosed the gas about 3/4 throttle and tires roasted, the exhaust roared and car alarms went off. I felt a little giddy like a teenager and I know if someone looked at me I would have a dumb smirk on my face. I hope to have a video from the interior so people can have an idea how it sounds from inside.
Here is a video of one with the Corsa. Mine sounds the same.

I did go by D3, they are about 10 miles away from me. I took a look around and they had a STS-V with just about everything for the engine. He started the car and you can hear the blower very loud. I am thinking about the intercooler upgrade with the high capacity aux tank and ECU tuning on the dyno. D3 said that when they do a tune on the dyno they give you the before and after dynosheets.
