Default Corsa exhaust install on my 85

I am getting ready to get everything thing I need to install a Corsa exhaust just as Joe C did a couple years back on his 85. My main question is.... Does it eliminate the low rpm drone that occurs up to around 1500 rpm. When I was reading about the mufflers on the Corsa site, it mentioned 'no droning at crushing speed, which in my case , there is no issue at crusing speed.I just wanted to check with the Forum before I ordered the Corsa system. Thank you all for any imput

I have the Corsa L98 cat back system on my 1990 convertible-no drone, top up or top down.

I notice that Corsa markets the system for 1986-1991 but not the 1985. I was wondering what the difference is.

the difference is in the main cat's mating flange. in order to install a corsa system on the 85, the exhaust system needs to be upgraded to the 86-91 configuration - new front y-pipe and main cat. there is also an exhaust hanger just behind the main cat that needs to be added. everything else is pretty much plug and play. flowmaster has a nice, catless front y-pipe and hi-flow main cat in stainless.

You will hear the exhaust note, but there is no drone.

You order look into Borla, they make exhaust that fits your year with no modifications.
No Drone, and they look nice all polished!
