You might want to get in touch with West Coast Corvettes. Last year I bought a set of Corsa Indys for the C5 Vert at the Carlisle show for a little over $800. Don't remember the exact amount. That show just ended, but if you call then I bet they would honor their Carlisle show special price. Worth a try.
Good luck!

McLude,
Check the used Corvette dealers around you, sometimes they will have a set from a front-end crash and the exhaust is OK. You might save 50% or more.

Wassup!!!
:wavey: ..Yea, if ya can, wait for a show that has exhaust vendors with discounts. Or look around for a shop that has a slightly used system, that's what I did. I purchased the Magnaflow Magnapack system from
Advanced automotive (in Cape Coral). :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I have some Corsa Indys I could sell you, with the Daytona tips I believe. They were on the car when I bought it so I don't know how many miles are on the exhaust. I took them off around 4 months ago to install B&B Bullets on my C5. To tell you about my car it's only got 7,900 miles, and none of them in the rain I was told by the previous owner and none in the rain in the 2 years I've owned the car.
I'm on the west coast of FL straight down I-4 from you.

Here's a few pics from the day of the swap. Notice the undercarriage and how even it doesn't show alot of road grime. The exhaust could only have at MAX 6,500 miles if they were put on only days after the first owner bought it. The only thing on them is water spots from washing the car since I don't exactly get under the car to dry it off...
The exhaust out of the car.

I had my heart set on quads, but those Daytona's look different than the typical single setup. How much would you be looking for, and more importantly, do you have a soundclip of these?:thumbsup:

The overall noise level was a bit too low for me with the Corsa's. I had flowmasters with no resonator on my C4 that I sold so I was used to a louder exhaust. The Corsa's were loud under acceleration but mid to low quiet on cruise and in idle. I wanted a louder/lower tone on idle. The corsa's were a slightly higher tone. The B&B's were the noise level I was looking for. I ride alone most of the time so the sound was important to me. The B&B's are a little difficult to have a conversation over while driving though. Since I have a 6 speed I just shift into a higher gear to lower the RPM's and thereby lower the exhaust noise of the B&B's.

I got alot of compliments from this dual tip set up. I was trying to get the B&B's in the dual set up but ran across a set of quad tips for sale so I scooped them up.
I was thinking of asking $650.00 for the exhaust and the $65.00 for the carbon fiber door bezel covers you responded to in the other thread, but I will bring them to you (instead of shipping them since I may be in your area soon for a day) for an easy sale at $660.00 for both items instead of the $710.00 posted asking price. Dropping 50 bucks off the price for a quick sale to a Corvette FL member is ok with me.
Here's a few clips of the exhaust on my car the day before I swapped them out. Sorry for the wind noise in the camera microphone, I never thought the camera would pick it up so well.

Sounds like a great deal. I'll take em. I'll have cash this Friday. Let me know when you are in the area so we can execute the transaction!
I'm down for a big boy sandwich in Sanford as well. I just came from Ohio, and I'm glad to know we have them down here. Just wish we had Penn Station down here too
