Interesting.....I think some performance stats would be helpful though. Also, I saw nothing about resonance in there. You can get Corsas for 1125.00 plus shipping.

dont they make an H-pipe for these cars?
it would still be a dual, eliminates the resonator but adds a balance tube like an X pipe but dont allow the exhaust to "channel" between. just allows flowing pressure to equalize.
my mustang had an H pipe factory and I replaced it with another one when I went long tubes. and we all know how nasty a fox chassis mustang can sound without any real bite.

just my thought on it.

Like this? I'll get a higher pitch?
