Default Corsa installed yesterday, no problem

This is a C6 post, but some of this applies to a C5, so I will post it here also.


Put the Corsa sports (4tips) on yesterday. Looks nice and sounds MUCH better. Had help and use of a lift from a regular forum person on the C5 side, Leo the Lion, (MUCH THANKS LEO)
I honestly cannot feel a increase in power, but I had the same effect in my 98 Vert when I
installed BB Tri Flows. I also installed RM air intake in the 98 and then a power increase was very notable. Good chance the two changes working together is what made the difference. I will in the future change around the air intake side on my C6, and hopefully the same thing will manifest itself. Waiting to find out which air system is worthy of me spending money on.
I have read that there have been some line up issues with the Corsa system. We did not have a problem lining things up. Followed directions and it went together very well. (Thanks Corsa)

congrats on the corsa install!

there is no power to be gained from installing a catback system, it's solely for your listening enjoyment!
you noticed a difference in performance when you installed a new air cleaner assy because there IS power to be gained by opening up the intake path!

I love my Corsa's, I did it for the sounds knowing there was not much if any power to be gained.
