Just installed my first CAI. Looking to match the CAI with Corsa Touring exhaust. I get the CAI is not as effective as the exhaust benefits, but my house needed a new furnace and AC (35 yrs old), So I have to wait a bit for funds.
Interesting to hear the sound change in the engine with the new CAI, now has a mini growl. I don't think I can go to the Sport exhaust as I tow and that may too much growl with CAI.
 
I have never heard a Corsa CAI but assume it's close to the GM Performance CAI I have. I also have a Corsa Sport Cat Back system and our family doesn't consider the setup as too annoying since there is no drone. You also don't need to worry about towing noise since the exhaust is in the rear and out the side so sound won't echo off the towed item.
If sound is a worry, you will be bothered more over time by the CAI then the exhaust.
You may want to consider putting a Dynamat hood liner in place of the stock hood liner to eliminate some of the CAI noise but you will be surprised at how much road noise is eliminated too. With that and putting up my windows you don't hear much of the exhaust or CAI at cruise. Only hear them when you stomp the accelerator, you never have to turn up the radio or yell to converse with your passengers.
 
Corsa just got into the Cold Air Intake biz recently.  
They are made for them by another well know company they just put their name on the top.


Corsa Price $474.23 (Click for more info)

If you want the same performance, sound, and looks, and wanna keep over a hundred and fifty dollars in your pocket...
Just buy the Volant CAI.


Volant Price $317.56 (Click for more info)

CORSA and Volant are brands under the same umbrella of TMG Performance.
 
Funny..I found Volant stickers inside the box  :laugh:  like everyone else, they went private label instead of designing their own. I guess they just wanted to have a match for their exhaust system. And yes...they are pricey, but did get a better price than advertized with free shipping (still more that Voant).
