Default exhaust question

I have an 84 that needs a new cat back exhaust. I might replace the cat also. Everyone seems to suggest a Corsa system because of the lack of resonance. My question is does Corsa make a system for an 1984. All the Corsa systems I have seen point to 1986 and newer vettes. What is the difference?

thanks,

berman

The Corsa systems are tuned to the specific application. There is a different system for the L98 and LT1. Contact Corsa - nice guys - they can probably recommend an application.

I got a magna and there isn't any resonance in my car, sounds mean as well, maybe I'll try and get a sound clip from it or something tomorrow.

DO NOT purchase this system. It is NOT for your car. If you go to the link above, it says that it is for a 1984, but if you click on the link adjacent to 1984, it brings you to another page that shows this system is actually for a 1986 and up. Sorry, but this is not the one you want. I'm only trying to help and possibly stop you from making a costly mistake.

That was actually the system that I wanted, but as you did I clicked the link which indicated it was not for an 84 or 85.

Check out the chambered system from Eckler's web site. Comes with LT-1 tips. No unsightly muffler's hanging down either. Nice rich sound, and you can do it yourself. Catco makes a High Flow converter for your Vet., mine was about $65.

What is the resonance like. That is something I am looking to greatly reduce.
