I have been wanting to give an honest comparison/review of each exhaust and compare side by side for 2014 Jeep SRT.

Stock Exhaust:

Stock exhaust is just that. Subtle rumble that sounds decent when you get on it, but like most people felt the need for more so I swapped it out for CORSA.

CORSA Exhaust:

I have had corsa exhaust on my 2012 Ford Raptor, 2010 Silverado and 2007 Avalanche and unfortunately my 2014 Jeep SRT. Getting Corsa for any WK2 Jeep is the BIGGEST mistake you can make. The start up rumble is nice but other than that it sucks!! Set the cruise between 33-48 miles an hour and when the MDS kicks in you will be so sick you will NEED the exhaust to be removed asap! The drone at these speeds is awful!! I mean awful! I had it on for 4 months and it was so bad! On top of the drone, the raspy sound when you step on it is enough to make your car sound like a cheap civic with a NAPA crap muffler installed. I can't tell you how many other SRT owners in Chicago would roll up and tell me the exhaust sounded like shit!! Just an awful exhaust for this car all around! I honestly did not find anything positive about except for the start up. Thats it!

GTHaus Exhaust:

WOW! Just a crazy deep deep exhaust. I have had it installed for 4 days and WOW! Just an incredible exhaust! I like a deep roar but this thing is so dam loud when you step on it. I can't even/won't ride with the valve open because it's so loud it really pisses people off! Incredible sound but a little to loud for my liking. Here comes a real big negative:

THIS EXHAUST WILL SLOW YOUR CAR DOWN TREMENDOUSLY! I HAVENT COMPARED ANY NUMBERS BUT MAN I FEEL LIKE THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE BECAUSE OF THIS EXHAUST. IT'S SLOWER WITH THE VALVE OPEN BUT MAN THIS EXHAUST REALLY REALLY SLOWS THE CAR DOWN. IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN I WOULD SAVE ALL THE MONEY AND KEEP THE CAR STOCK. I REALLY LOVE SWAPPING OUT EXHAUST BUT CHRYSLER PRODUCTS ARE NOT CARS TO MESS WITH.

FINAL WORD:

All in all I have had a bad experience with swapping out exhausts. I would keep the car bone stock if I could do it all over again. Corsa is absolutely junk! Please listen to me. DO NOT buy that crappy system! If you want just an incredible system than by GTHaus. Rediculously deep and LOUD exhaust. 5X louder than that of corsa! It's so loud my fiancé wants me to sell the car. All in all I can't stand how big of a slug the car is so I prob will sell. Please comment if you have any questions. I will do my best and try to respond to them.

Hope this helps some of you guys out!

Well your system definitely has some extensive work for something that is not competition. I saw one of the cars at the BBQ actually remove their front windshield before playing music so it would shatter under the vibration and thought that was wild.

The stock system in the SRT is definitely lacking a little. It was horrible in the Limited X I had right before the SRT. In the SRT I can't get the audio settings to sound good either. It's nowhere near as bad as the Limited X but it still needs work. Songs either sound like they have way too much bass or not enough. The volume also seems like it should be much louder even though it's just a stock set up.

You don't install custom set ups for others?

No sorry I don't do custom installations.
The cheapest route is to get an LC2i line convertor for 100.00 and tap into the rear door speakers and use the rca outputs to run subs and tweeters.
The LC2i comes with a sub level control.
If you want better then get a PAC Harness which is 300.00.

If you don't have the capability of doing this then try a car stereo shop.
You can spend 500.00 for an LC2i setup or 3000.00 if you go with the PAC Harness.

I'm sure with a little research I could do it. I built the custom carpeted boxes and installed the systems in a few cars of mines years ago but nowadays I'd just rather pay someone to do it and be done with it. Thanks though, when I get ready for it I'm going to look into the PAC Harness.

Yes the PAC Harness is the way to go.
Not hard to install and gives you a CD like dynamic range vs the LP like sound from the LC2i.
Also comes with a sub control knob.
The only reason I'm using an LC2i for the BMW is because there's no harness available and the 30 speaker 1600 watt rms B&W system is pretty good.
Subs and tweeters don't require the dynamic range if the rest of the system is Hi Fi.
