The corksport is very similar to the 2nd gen Mazdaspeed dual can sport exhaust. And yes there are some on this forum that have the corksport and love it. I personally dont care for the tips. The Mazdaspeed exhaust tips are much easier on the eye in my opinion.

I have heard and seen it, I like the looks and the sound. I wish I would have seen it before I bought the Greddy on my car.

Corksport's site really has some unflattering pics. It looks better in person IMO. Here's a better pic from vIce^gRip

Sure do! Why some don't like the look...dunknow... IMO the wide chrome lips on the tips makes the exhaust stand out from back a ways much better than the skinny stock tips.

Asthetics aside, the sound is great, I always get respectful attention w/a blip of the throttle, or I can stay stealth with feathering for being PC....awesome wail WOT and on the track...throaty but not too loud....not to mention the beautiful polish on the whole thing and the weight savings. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

I know it was probably discussed before, but why isn't it in the exhaust sticky page with the sound clips and pictures?

FYI to anybody interested in a CorkSport exhaust - In the Dragon forum theres a raffle going on right now for a Power Series system. Three chances for $25.

I seen people stop by the muffler shops with tips like this cause they dont like them. I think some BMW's came with something like it.
Anyways they cut it off or just grind the weld on the lip and rip the gutts out.
I dont really like them, but I bet in no time all the unburn fuel will cover that right up.

If you're still using the cat, you shouldn't have any unburnt fuel.

inner 2.25", outer 3.5" with what appears to be a sound reducing mesh tube inside the tips

For me it sounds good, feels good and looks good. It is a no-brainer that some will not like the look or the sound. Just like some don't like Fender Strakes, Wings or Body Kits. If I am correct it was someone asking about the exhaust so they could get a users opinion. It is great for the Money... and that you will have a hard time arguing. Never Dull brings the tips back top new... minus the little hot spots that blued. It is a bit loud and the older more refined driver my find themselves tiring of it. On the highway it has a killer drone that is hard to explain.
That is my report and I am stickin to it!
