Corsa Outer Tips Functioning Video Proof.
Here Again..., is a Video I made years ago showing proof that Both Corsa exhaust tips do Function.
Many members here Insist that the outer tips are dummy's, probably confused by this picture which if you look very closely, you can see a small diameter exhaust tube (circled) that flows exhaust inside and Around the baffle and exits out of the outer tip. This exhaust flow is not for Performance but, is part of the muffler design to eliminate Resonance.
Anyways, This Corsa system is installed on my "91" L98. The tennis ***** are a perfect fit and are pressed in tight.
Here you can see the exhaust flow by watching the attached Ribbons.
Here you can see the Primary tips blocked by the Tennis ***** and the Outer tips still flowing exhaust. This exhaust flow (or leak) is very minimal and is used in part to help eliminate Resonance.

Not to be controversial...but...This somewhat proves that they ARE dummy tips on the outside. The actual flow of exhaust goes through the inner tubes...and just for the effect of air physically going through the other tip...they run an auxiliary tube to the outer tips...
Do both have exhaust flowing through them? Sure.
Would I personally say they're functional? Nope.

I have corsa's and there is only exhaust debris on one of the tips. It appears to me that only one works. Not that you couldn't drill out the other one. But I haven't done this. Pics to follow........

These video show that the Outer tips do work and are Not Plugged.
Inner tips = Primary Performance exhaust flow.
Outer tips = Auxillary exhaust flow.
I don't know how much simpler I can make it.

Start your engine and plug the black sooty tips with something and your engine will still idle.
Prove it to yourself, I don't know what else to say.

That's all I was trying to prove.
If you want a muffler that flows an equal amount from both tips Corsa is not for you.
If you want a dual tip Muffler with a straight through design and one tip that only flows a minimal amount and doesn't have Resonance, then, Corsa is the one.

I'm still not gettin the point. The cut away pic clearly shows a solid plug where the red arrow is. If it's for resonance- ok, but really still not a dual flow through. Not that it makes any difference, there is 0.0 hp gains with any catback exhausts alone.

Look closely and follow the white line and you can see a 1/4" space in front of the baffle plate where the exhaust flows around and into the outer tip.

If it did go to 2 pipes after the muffler you would gain nothing,you have a 2.5(just a guess pipe dia.)running from the manifoild to the rear of the car so if it went to two pipes what would you gain.You may gain if it was not a straight thru design.JMO

Look at how small the circled pipe that feeds the outer tip is. The outer tips are not going to get dirty with only a tiny amount of exhaust gas exiting.
