Default Corsa exhaust

Is it just me or does the way the Corsa exhaust runs with the line of the bumper just make it look that much better? I have been looking for pics of it found some in the search, and I think it just looks amazing like that. Unlike all other mufflers which are tucked and hidden.

Pretty sure this might be my exhaust choice when I go to pony up the dough.

Oh ya, also if anyone wants to post a few Corsa side shots it wouldn't hurt my feelings

At first I was nervous I might not like the look of the Corsa's "dual" tips. Not that I thought they were ugly or anything, it's just that I'd grown quite fond of the stock rectangular tips on my '92. They tucked up really nice and matched the rectangular look of the back end of thew car.

At the end of the day though, after installing the Corsa system, I grew to love the tips. They suit the car much better than I thought they would and after a little "bending" of the muffler hangers, they tucked up to the bumper as well as the stock tips. (out of the box, the tips hung a bit lower than what I wanted)

A bit off topic, but I'm also a huge fan of the BB exhaust tips as well. I think I may even like them just a tad bit more than the Corsa's but not by much. The Corsa's got the BB beat hands down when it comes to reducing interior drone while cruising around and from what I've seen on other C4's that have run on my local dyno, despite being a 3" exhaust vs. the Corsa's 2.5", the Corsa has usually made more power due to the fact that it's resonator and mufflers are a straight through design as apposed to the BB's which are pretty restrictive if you ever get the chance to look through one. These were just some of the reasons why I ultimately decided to go with Corsa over the BB. They're both GREAT exhaust systems though and I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever exhaust upgrade you end up going with. Good luck!

Here are some pic's I took after the install and a short sound clip after I installed my headers.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replys. I think i am going to go with the Corsa. Those setups are just amazing and the sound is really growing on me. I am also a huge fan of the B&B which i was thinking of getting awhile back. I am glad I did not have the money cause I'm pretty sure I have swung the Corsa way.

Keep the pics of Corsa comin!

They definitely take some care with where the tips lay. Here you can see they are staggered to match the bumper line on my Aurora:



That said, I'm not the biggest fan of them on my 'vette. I love the sound and the lack of resonance, but the tips are a little too blingy for my taste.

I like how the Corsa muffler follows the same angle as the bumper cover and then the tips angle back down slightly.

Here's a custom install that keeps the mufflers up high behind the body work and the tips align perfectly with bumper lines.



And of course, the sound inside is perfect, for me anyway. Awesome sound, no resonance. I do sometimes think the oustide sound is a little raspy, but I usually drive the car from the inside so that is what counts. (Check out the most recent comment in the video link below:o)

Is it just me or does it seem that the Corsa's just don't tuck up as high as the stock setup. I love the sound, but I want them to disappear from the rear.

I just got my corsas on and I love them! No more drone and I think they really sound mean at full throttle. The only thing I don't like about them is the carbon buildup on only one tip. I am thinking about painting all tips with high heat flat black on the insides so they always match
