Corsa Exhaust...Warning
After installing my new Corsa Exhaust, my fuel mileage dropped significantly I then realized it is a result of me driving much harder than normal so I can enjoy my new sweet sound. So consider yourself warned… A new Corsa system, or any other after market system, may impact you mileage…. Buts that’s OK

Which one did you get? Are you still grinning from ear to ear? Entirely satisfied with the purchase and install? I want to do this soon with Corsas, so I'm still looking for opinions.

Manufacturers of performance mods should put warnings on the side of the package like they do on cigarettes.

I know what ya mean! I avg. about 13.8mpg city, the car barely sees any freeway time. I love my Corsa Indy's w/ Tiger Shark Tips. They sound wicked at WOT, and mellow at cruise. And about zero resonance, with the help of a x pipe & partition!

I put my stingers on six months ago and my gas milage is still way below what it used to be. I'm still hammering the throttle every chance I get and waiting to shift just to hear the exhaust. Radio is rarely turned on anymore either. Can't wait to do LT's at some point.
