Answer to the Corsa Question from CORSA!!
Here is the complete e-mail reply to my question:
Mark,
Thanks for the interest in CORSA Performance!!
WOW, that guy cut apart a good muffler!!!
With our RSC technology, we are only able to have a single inlet and outlet on the mufflers.
The ZR-1 would look a little strange with only one tip, this was the best way to have a dual tip on the mufflers.
To eliminate the drone from the car, and the way that we do this is through our canister that you can see inside the muffler. There is no packing material in the mufflers at all!!
Vette Doctors had done some back to back testing on a modified ZR-1 a few years back. Our 2.5" system made the same HP, or 2 more vs. a 3"
system!!! This is the reason that we never went out and made a 3"
system.
What the owner did not show was that you can look straight the mufflers for maximum air flow.
We had talked about putting a Y and the end of the muffler for both tips, but we just did not have the space.
If you would like to discuss, you or any of the other ZR-1 guys can give me a call at 800.486.0999 ext 112
Thanks,
