Corsa broke?
My Corsa exhaust was getting a bit loud for me, so I took it to the shop to find out what was wrong. Both exhaust pipes broke right where they enter the resonator? Not the weld part, but right as the pipes enter. What we also found was that the left exhaust header was also cracked in two places.
I sent a email to Corsa with the $90 welding bill. Sorry no pic's. I was 60 miles from home and no camera.
Anyone else had this problem? You all with Coras exhaust system might want to check the front of the resonator the next time the vette is up on a lift.

Update:
Talked to Corsa a while ago. They offered to send me another one to replace the one that broke. I left the problem at that. Except I have to pay to have the new one installed. Better then no return phone call at all.

Don't feel bad, one of the pipes on my Corsa's won't seal correctly.. I had a shop tell me Friday to call Corsa and tell them there's a problem.

No. No one else drives it but me and sometimes my girlfriend.

My ex-wife used to drive my old IROC before my Vette days... I told her if she ever hits something to tell me right away so I can make sure there are no problems with the car considering tires are so expensive... I never was mean or angry about accidents (they happen) so I don't know why she never told me when she nailed a curb with the car...
One day I'm out changing the oil and I notice the right front tire is down to the steel belts on the inside, the other tire is fine... I go in the house and ask her if she had hit anything recently and she tells me, "no"...
The next day I take the car to a tire shop and have them look at the suspension... The tech tells me that the car hit something really hard, alignment is waaaaay out... :skep: Nothing is broken but I need to have the front end realighned and a new tire put on... Since the other tire was down to about 50%, I put on two new tires... So, $400 later I go home and ask the wife again if she's sure she didn't hit anything and this time I get a different answer :rolleyes:
It turns out that about a week before she hit a curb really hard at work and she was afraid to tell me... :rolleyes:
That's when I got really :mad Instead of it costing $40 for an alignment, it cost $400 for new tires and an alignment...

Re: Corsa broke? (VictorRussell'92)
My girlfriend took my 89 out one night and cam back with only one rear muffler. Asked her where the other one was and what happened and all I got was " I don't know." She is pretty damn cute to I married her anyway.
