Default Corsas are on again

Well my 4th install of Corsa. As some of you may know, I put the Corsa on my six speed back in November of 2001.

Then in early 2004 I took them off and put them on my '93 and went back to muffler eliminators.

Well, I got a pretty good deal on some Corsa mufflers and found some Corsa pipes on ebay, and I finally had a decent day where I could put them on.

No pics since my camera crapped out.

Since this was a basically used, but never installed I didn't get any instructions and I had forgotten which pipe goes where to the mufflers, so I place a call to Corsa and end up talking to the owner of the company. He assisted me and got me headed back on track.

Real good guy. Corsa is still #1 in my book.

Looking foward to the ringin' in my ears this spring when I come out to see you race!!! Hey Mojo...good thing you called Corsa...otherwise you might have had a bad relapse in judgement and ran headers vertically up from under the side windows out the roof!!! What a sight that would be!!!

I can't remember..is your 6 speed stock?

We have a guy here with a Vette that has a '86 body but that's about where it ends being an '86. His is sort of an L-98...stroked, mini-ram, all the go-fast parts...and he put a Corsa system on (had 3" straight pipes out the back before).

Lost a bunch of HP just from putting the Corsas on (can't remember the exact number). So not willing to accept defeat, he started replacing pieces on the system. Did 3" pipes from the long tubes to the resinators and gained 80% back what he lost.

Did it because it's basically his "street" car as well as track car, and the car was insanely loud...fun but loud.

Corsas made it driveable...

So you have them on both cars?

When you have more exhaust changes than posts on this forum, something is wrong.

He mentioned he was there, I was almost going to ask if he met a big blond haired dude from CA, but I didn't.

I think MOJO scavenged them

I was exhausted putting mine on...

All joking aside they are the best pipes I've had on the car...
