I have the turbo back power seriers. Heres my reveiw;

Exit is driver side, this is a awesome exhaust, im lovin the welds its a very professional good lookin system. The tone is deep and raspy, but might sound deeper (dont know if its nessesarily better) with a 4inch tip (comes with 3 inch outlet). You can mount a Bonz high flow cat to the system to muffle out the sound, but if you ask me its kinda pointless. The system has no resonators so its LOUD. Like annoyingly loud, or the kinda loud you here at a race track. Which I actually prefer to be loud. The N/A power series on the other hand is way louder and raspier than the turbo back..



overall i give it a 8/10

**note**
If you can stand how loud this system is...go for it.

Edit: I have the old system i suppose, cuz mine didnt come with a resonator. but the current power series does come with a resonator/silencer/and a 100mm tip

I have one, I got the turbo back one, quite loud but very nice sound to it. Exits Drivers side. The exact one is in my sig. Ill have a vid and pictures for you by Thursday. Think mine is louder then the one in the vid. Silencer does nothing at all, makes louder as far as I'm concerned, then the nut and bolt vibrate off and silencer goes flying out (while not driving).

A friend of mine had a corksport exhaust, and like everybody else said, it's ******* LOUD.... I didn't really like the sound of it, personally, sounds to raspy for me.

In my opinion it is too damn loud. The only time it sounds good is going down the street and winding out every gear. I have the RB header and the CS silencer to the CS catback. The silencer makes it sound crappy like your whole exhaust system is loose. I am going to eventually take mine off and switch to the Apexi N1.

To me, the N1 sounded really raspy to me. Im just trying to find something thats deep and sorta quiet thats a single exit and out the passenger side if possible.

Hi, Ryan from CorkSport here

What we recommend for street use is either our resonated midpipe, or a Borla XR-1, the 6" oval kind.

I run it on my car, yes, it's loud

after i cut my crapy exhaust off at the down pipe (some hick exhaust shop redid the exhaust and welded it to the down pipe) and hollowed out the cat i dont even think it was 110db at idle, that seems preaty loud for an idle. BTW how loud do u guys think a s4 N/A w/ street port, RB header, catless test pipe, and CS catback exhaust would be?

For some reason your video doesnt do justice on how loud the system really is. I guess to much ambient noise in your video.
