Default [L98] Does Anybody Have Corsas?

(sort of cross-posted from C4 General)

Does anybody have Corsas on an L98? If so:

a) What do you think?

b) Do you have any pictures?

Thanks is advance...

I just put the corsas on my 85 last month. I like them, they look and sound great. They are semi quiet at idle and scream when you step on it. I have not taken any pictures yet. I had to put a 86 cat on to use the l98 catback system.

You'll have LT's on your vette soon enough
Maybe the NCRS won't notice...

Did you try emailing corsa for a sound clip? It's a long shot but...

Please post pictures if you get a chance - I've got a 1985 I'm looking at putting Corsas on...

How did you attach the 86 cat to your 85 front Y?

Put 'em on last year. Sounds better than stock. Looks better than stock. Less groan, more growl.

I had to cut the four bolt flange off of the y-pipe, then the high flow cat that I bought from summit slid perfectly over the end and I clamped it on. It worked so good I could not believe it.
