Default No More Droning !!!

Finally installed the Corsa cat back system last night on my '91 and took off those nasty Flowmasters. Old system out and new one in in less than one 6 pack, er, ummm...I mean one hour! What a piece of cake! I can finally hear my radio again! It looks great, sounds great, and best of all ...NO MORE DRONE!!!

Welcome to the Corsa cult. Replaced my Flowmasters a month ago, what a difference. Wife said she wouldn't take the drive to Carlisle anymore unless I fixed the drone...well Corsa fixed it. Sorry I didn't do it years ago. Congrats on your conversion.

Borla mufflers look and sound really cool but they do the same drone thing....but I have a very powerful stereo so its OK. If I had to do it again I too would join the Corsa Cult.

I was blown away by how easy the whole process was. I sprayed some PB Blaster on all the hardware the day before and like I said...out and in within an hour! I love it! I was going to say that finally, something went according to plans and actually exceeded my expectations, but that would be the kiss of death...so I won't!

I learned the hard way.

I spent over $1000 trying three different exhaust systems before I finally got smart and had the Corsa's installed. After clamping the exhaust system together, I had a muffler shop weld all the joints for a cleaner look.

I may do the same... the clamps, although I tucked them up pretty good, still look ugly.
