Corsa Performance Exhaust
My new Corsa Cat-Back System
Already explained my long PITA issue with Magnaflow.
Today I got The Ghost back on the road, and this exhaust
system impressed me.
First I took few shots of the whole system because this system
is brand new based on the stickers on it. It is also different from
other Corsas I've seen, and others pictures posted in here throughout
the years.
This system was a breeze to install. It was so damn easy that I
stopped because I thought something was wrong. Nothing was
wrong, what happened was I was not wrestling with this system l
ike I used to do with that POS magnaflow. All bolted in place,
nothing rubs, and the O2 bung was in the right place, and in
the right angle. This is one of those times that it really shows,
and feels that you do get what you pay for.
-Here the system looks identical to all those posted here before.
-This is a big deal for 96 Vettes. If that bung is not in the right
place/angle it would create trouble, and you would have to plug
the original, drill, and weld a new one.
-Here it is, this muffler is actually not like other Corsas I've seen. Look
how the main pipe is thru, but there is a new chamber that connects
the mufflers with the second tail pipe.
-I bought that jack adapter long time ago, and now I can use it. I could
never use it with the 3" tubing.
Here it is how it sounds at idle, and at 70 MPH.

website. They also offer a system with black tips.

- nice write-up (w/pics). I've installed four corsa systems, and never had an installation issue (number five sitting here ready for installation). magnaflow hardware, on the other hand, well, I've had issues....
, here's a case where you get what you pay for.

My Corsa muffler, has that extra pipe feeding the muffler chamber and the insides of both mufflers tips have the slot cut outs just like your pictures...
Is the pipe circled in white, what you're referring to?...

I guess I can not see inside the muffler, but ; Do you have those four holes on the inside? I have an older ZR-1 set, and they do not have them.

Those savings were the reason I had the cash to buy this system.

The Nitto NT05 are no match for the 383. The Good Years were too expensive, but they handled better as long it was warm, and dry. On the rain the Good Years did great driving on water puddles, there was no hydroplaning.

Nice review.
I'm really exited to get my Corsa system on my 91 this week.
Of course, I'm a bit biased and have wanted one for a long time... my best friend started the company with his dad.

I've drive this Vette about 1,000 miles since this was installed, the drone-less is great, and the screaming after 3,000 RPMS is also great.
