Corsa does not make a system for the L98, which is what I believe you have. A couple of forum members have adapted the LT1 Corsa exhaust to L98's, but I haven't heard of anyone whose done it and kept a catalytic converter. You might need that. (The cats on the LT1 are in the place where the pre-cats are for the L98, and there is no Y-pipe.) I'll be eager to hear if you get any more positive response than this, cuz I've wanted to put a Corsa system on my car too.

They do not.

You can use the system though. You will need a shop to help you out, it's not complicated though. If attaching to a stock system, you will need to cut into the front y-pipe and install a bullet style cat on each side. Out of each cat, you will need a custom "S" bend to feed into the resonator. From there on it's no problem, resonator to muffler. You can order the exhaust hanger brackets from 92-96 Vettes or have the shop make brackets.

Converter suggestion

You can get the above cats in several O2 sensor mount configurations to retain the stock function of yours.

While Corsa doesn't actually build a kit for your car. You can get one for a LT1 application and purchase all the LT1 hangers from a dealer. It is a piece of cake to install. I did a B&B system for a forum members car which was also a 89 with a 6 Speed tranny. I just purchased the exhaust hangers from GM for a LT1 engine and it all bolted in. The only fitment issues you would have is connecting to the stock exhaust in your car. The one I did for "thetoy" was relatively easy as he had long tube headers and I made the connections to the collectors. The rest of it was just bolt on and go.

Or you can buy my Corsa mufflers and have an exhaust shop fab up the rest.


PM me if interested.

Just buy a B&B catback for your year Vette. Check out the inside of a Corsa Muffler on the other thread.
