I had the same question a few months ago so I e-mailed Corsa and they said they tested the pace car and it was 7 - 9 HP and the crossover was good for 1 - 2 HP (if I remember corrrectly) and the torque numbers were like 8 - 11 and 2 - 4 (if I remember correctly).

Hope this helps.

These HP gain numbers are flywheel - and you will most likely not notice the difference in power at the wheel.

The reason to change your exhaust on a '99 (I have a '99 coupe) is that the stock pipes are ugly and have little character. I have Corsa Pace with the pro tips and they look good and sound GREAT!

Get what you like! It will greatly improve the look of your ride.

I have a corsa indy and I race my buddies stock 99 and there is no differance in power. The cars are dead even so there are really no gains.

Since stock exhaust in not the limiting factor in the flow, an after-market cat-back should be approach as an improvement in sound & looks. If you want to see gains, do LT headers at the same time.
