Many points of asjustemnt???????All there is to twist around the flange mating surfaces bbefore tighteming the bolts. The muffler hangers could in theory have washers installed to lower the bracket, but beyond that it is a bend-cut and weld operation.


Corsa should have done him right, not blown him off like this. If we took care of our customers the same way Corsa took care of him, we would be OUT of business.

Too bad for Corsa...You never know how one bad customer relation story will get around and ruin future sales. If they had dome the right thing, the story on the forum would be one of how great they were and how interested they were in making the product fit correctly.

FYI, my GM Ti ZO6 catbacks fit PERFECTLY on my coupe. No tip alignment issues at all. Once we add LG Motorsports Long Tube Pro headers and hi flow cats and X, my exhaust will be done. LGs are consistent and usually fit quite well. The company that makes them for LG is also in the muffler biz for C5s, and their systems have a reputation for similar tight tolerances and proper fit as the LG headers. I don't know if its OK to let the cat out of the bag about who really makes LGs systems, so I won't...but they DO it CORRECTLY for Lou and for their own muffler piece too.

If I wanted a louder system, I would have put on Borlas.

Glad your local muffler shop was able to cut and weld the poorly made Corsas to make them fit. Any thoughts about sending the bill to Corsa???????

 

i dont know ANY one else thats had a bad experience with Corsa's

I love my corsa's and attribute a large portion of my corvette fanaticism to the added VVVRRROOOOOM they have given my car.

all i have is for praise for their product, engineering and friendly sales staff that KNOW what their talking about

having said that, if its out-of-norm's badly made instance of their product, a lemmon: while the whole company shouldnt suffer as a result -maybe there does need clarification about what parts and manufacture' was used to mate the corsa's to

if the corsa's are being mated to GM parts, or Corsa' Xpipes thats one thing, but if its another vendor's x-pipe etc, why isnt it THEIR Fault - that they arent letting the Corsa's fit properly to them ???

there are always two side to every story, ...

 

They're not going to pay the bill, no matter what. After all, they couldn't send me an 8" piece of pipe a second time around that corrected THEIR mistake of sending the wrong one, remember?And, piece like that only costs them probably $8! Screw 'em. That company sucks.

 

You must not have seen the many posts from others who chimed in on this and other posts regarding fitment problems.

That's what I was trying to tell them, and without them seeing the system they sent, they turned around and tried to find blame in anything they could think of. You should've partook (word?) in some of the communications, it was amazing how much they wanted to pass the buck.

Oh, and don't forget the pics of the first set of mufflers I posted on the original thread when this whole thing started. Those showed all the flaws, and there were MANY! You really should do some more reading on this issue. You'd be amazed at what you find. And, FWIW, from what I've seen on here, so far, it seems that you are in the minority as far as how satisfied you are.

Again, read the previous posts. I already clarified what parts.

So why did I have no problems with my stock exhaust with this X-pipe, and no problems with my GHL Bullets? That's the point!

Not from Corsa's perspective. They're not even thinking it could EVEN be their fault, that's the problem. They think they're the end-all, cure-all, and that it could not POSSIBLY be their fault. They have a sh|tty attitude, and I hope they suffer a major setback over there. Not enough to go out of business, 'cause they still have warranty obligations to many people, but enough to see some heads roll over there.

 

Corsa's worked for me, love them.

 

I had Burke Corvettes install my Corsa Pace Car exhaust with Corsa X pipe in January and there was an alignment issue with the drivers side pipe. Essentially you could get the tips aligned very well but the can hung too low below the left quarter panel. So, Burke ordered another set....it was better and I accepted it but it was not perfect. The can still hung slightly below the panel unlike the passenger side that was completely hidden from view. Consensus was that some modification of the pipe would be necessary to hide the left side can. I opted not to have that done, because it was barely noticeable. However, having said that, I do love my Corsa's.....I think the sound is great and love the "no drone". I can live with a "slightly less than perfect system".

 

I have the same problem with my Corsa system. As you can see by my avatar, the left can hangs too low and that's the best I can do. It only bothers me when I stand from a distance behind the car and stare at it. Then when I think about the fact that I have over $1300 invested in my Corsa X-Pipe and exhaust w/install, it kind of peeves me. I really wish there was something that could be done to correct it, short of selling it and buying another brand.....

 

I am happy with My Corsa System. I have had it on almost since the car was new! I was one of the first with the the Indy pro Tips.

I found that it takes a lot of fan-dangling to get them right. You just have to get under there and spend some time. There are a lot of slip joints that you can play with as well as bending the brackets slightly. Plus with my LGs and Random tech cats the sound is AWESOME!

Jest grab a beer and a wrench and a ruler and spend a few hours, and you will get it.

 

I've had the stock Ti, Borla stingers and now Magnaflow. The aftermarket ones need a little tweeking to fit properly, but it was no big deal. There's an adjustment point on both aftermarket systems right where the over the axle pipe goes into the cans, and this determines how close/near to the shield, and tip alignment. Does the Corsa systems not have this joint? Oh yeah, BTW, these are all installed on a LG O/R X pipe, not factory.

 

MrLeadFoot,

I appreciate you starting this thread.

I'm considering buying these also....

Corsa is 5 miles form my house. So if i have any fitment issues I could go down and see them...although I shouldn't have to.

 

I just want you to know, the Corsas have two adjustment points, per side, ASIDE from the flanges. Yes, they can be tricky to align. It isn't a simple flange-bolting procedure.

 

No problems with my Corsa's...they fit perfectly.

 

Back in '69 I started fooling around with a 55 Chevy. I bought a $100 Hurst shifter that didn't fit EXACTLY. Took it back to the speed shop and was told: "You want something to fit that well, go to Chevy. Otherwise, figure it out. That's the price of hot rodding." I walked out and "made it fit", and the shifter worked fine.

Same deal with my Corsa Tigersharks. And they look and work fine.

 

I have had one set of Corsa for 5 years now and no issues. One advantage from buying a system from someone (in my case The Vette Doctor) and having them install them is that fitment and other issues become the sellers problem, not yours. Down side is more expense however.
