Default Catback exhaust

OK here's for anyone on the fence about the Corsa catback exhaust. Do it!

I just put mine on today. It's perfect. Nice rumble at idle, quiet while cruising and awesome sound when you get on it. Best of all absolutely no drone, none, nada, zero.

My vette had some no name brand cat back on it and the drone was terrible. I called it a dronemaster exhaust.

Install was a breeze. I did it in my garage on ramps. Took me longer to take the old exhaust out that it did to put the Corsa in. You may want a helper to hold the mufflers in place while you tighten the clamps. I had to adjust mine a couple of times before I got it right.

Do you have a stock motor? I ask because I have a 383 and have yet to find something that will quiet it down enough to keep the wife from bitchin' I'd try the Corsa but its a $1300 gamble for the LT1 cat back on a good breathing 383

Bolt ons and stock inards on a LT1.

I assume LT headers and no cats. That is hard to quiet down.
