Nice! What is that, a C6 system? I do like my dual tips look though, there is a little flow out of them.

Ditto. I think the C4 looks silly if the tips don't fill the openings.

A very good reason for dual tips, even if one tip doesn't provide much actual exhaust flow...

Be well,

Now THAT'S good logic! I knew I liked the looks of Corsa for some reason. Then again, I've got the "disappearing", one pipe, rectangular jobbies.

I would not change a thing I have had nothing but compliments on the looks and sound of my Corsa. Oh and the shop that did the install stated he had never installed a more perfect fitting or easy to install aftermarket exhaust. But as a side note check out Corsa and others before you shell out your hard earned money.

i like the sound and look of my dual tip corsa system. Its nice to have a exhaust systme that you can talk over. On the other hand, there are times i wish it were staight up loud! I'll be adding EM long tubes and random tech bullit cats in the next week or so. cant wait to hear the diffrence!

I did this mod last week and the sound is much louder now when you hit the gas. Still mostly the same at idle and cruise. Does definately sound meaner.

The tips aren't fake, just not as useful.

I put the Corsa L98 cat-back on my car in an afternoon. The clamping system and the positioning of the joints makes it a very easy job. For once, I was able to have the pipes look clean and right, and the tips level and the same distance from the bumper. And it all has to look right, because it draws some attention. I also think the dual tips are essential to the look, especially on a round taillight butt.
