Corsa Power Pulse catback system question
I want a Corsa system for my '95. Granted, like the look of OEM style LT1 tips, but maybe the Corsa Pro Series tips will grow on me. Anyhow, I want the system for the value, sound, and slight power increase. Here's my question: I want the Corsa sooner, and I want headers later. If I put on a Corsa catback as is from the stock cats back, can a shop later on get the installed Corsa system to fit a set of long tube headers with random bullet cats or other after market high flow cats? Cats will be a necessity, won't run the car without them. Reason I don't do headers and catback at same time: the catback won't give GMPP any excuses to try and bail on any possible future unforeseen repairs, whereas a set of headers might make GMPP uncomfortable enough to bail on me on some possible repair. GMPP is good until August 2003 on my car.
Still wish LT1 tips could be fitted to the Corsas :nopity

Re: Corsa Power Pulse catback system question (Lone Ranger)
those tips are an integral part of the system.
the inner tips do most of the hard work, and the outer tips are for pressure release associated with the entire power pulse concept. rather neat, really.
I would suspect that yes, what you want to do can be done. it falls under the catagory of "any thing can be done given your ability to weld".
the cat pipes are seperate, so if you add long tubes and cats right off the collectors, then yes, you can link up the corsa to the cats.
I have corsa's... they ROCK!!!!!!!

Re: Corsa Power Pulse catback system question (Lone Ranger)
I loved my Corsas, the only gripe about them is the fact the outside tips never get dirty, it makes them almost seem fake! I hear people saying they flow under hard throttle but I've drove the car hard enough to get them flowing but never had any soot on them. I have the B&B 3 inch now and I love it. much louder and both sets of tips are dirty!!!! More time I can spend cleaning!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!! :reddevil

The tips themselves are not an integral part of the system...it's the muffler. You can have the individual tips cut off after they exit the muffler then have a shop weld up an LT style tip and there would be no difference other than the look.

I did not know this either. I grow confused now. Must smoke the peace pipe and reflect upon this.

I know for C5, the Corsa system is an approved by GM, so that shouldn't affect any type of warranty work.
Also if you were to put headers with th estock exhaust, you'd be in the same boat, since the Corsa replaces the stock system exactly.

Re: Corsa Power Pulse catback system question (Mr Mojo)
I'll confuse you more, you need both tips. The outer tips are what flow when the car is at cruise or idle, the inner tips flow at cruise and idle, but at WOT, the inner tips will flow more. There is a diagram that comes with the system that explains how it works, obviously not everyone that has the Corsa has read the paperwork that comes with it.
