Default changing to Corsa's

I'm currently running muffler eliminators on my '94 but I've got some Corsa catbacks on order, its never had stock on it since I've owned it, only stock headers, I'm wondering will I see any HP improvement over the eliminators, I cant imagine they would do much to help any HP improvement over the stock system anyway, so I'm guessing the Corsa catback SHOULD see some sort of improvement? hope all this makes sense!!

I doubt that you will see any gains. Maybe some slight losses.

The eliminators are obviously free flowing so it will be hard to improve on them for performance. (great sound too in my opinion)

The Corsa's are a top of the line system that look great and sound great (probably my favorite), but I doubt there is any performance improvement.

Nope. But you're sure gonna love the sound and the lack of drone.

Thought that might be the case, TBH its not that bigger deal, my main reason for the corsas are for the improvement in the drone (or should I say lack of!) the sound and the appearance, I wont tell you how much its costing to get a set into the UK!

I switched from muffler eliminators to Corsa. They eliminated the drone. When you look in the Corsa inlet you will see there are no baffles or anything else to effect flow. So I believe they will flow every bit as good as the eliminators.

If anything the Corsa system wont have those pinch bends in the pipes has to do something. Im not crazy about the showy tips but will say they sound fantastic. Current owner of my old Z put one on and sounds 10 times better than it did wiht the old 3" magnacrap system on it. Way better.
