OK, so it apparently the other tip opens up when you really get on it...I assume this works with a metal flap/door that opens up with enough exhaust pressure...?
Next question: I'm not a big fan of the round tips on the corsas, so if I were to get them, I'd want to have an exhaust shop cut them off and weld up some new tips. If I replaced them all the way from the muffler, I imagine I could take out this flap and therefore have both tips functional at all times.
The question with that is, would this destroy the anti-resonance ability of the system? Or would it just make the exhaust a little louder at all times?

I had some straight thru muffs before that had large rectangular outlets that looked awesome but the resonance was just too much. But they sure looked meaner than the Corsas. I will try them as is but I, like you, don't prefer the round tips.

I don't think it has a flap it has slots cut in the tubing inside the muffler, it just doesn't flow at a high rate like the "straight thru" side.
It is the only aftermarket part I have installed that totally lived up to the manufacturers claims!
