Default What Catback do I have??

It was on the car when I got it. I put in Longtubes and offroad X-Pipe and it's still pretty quiet with the catback. If anybody wants to TRADE me for anything a little louder let me know! There is a video of it running here:

They might be stock ZO6 ti exhaust. Sounds good, but you're right, kind of quiet.

Does look a lot like a Ti setup.

They are not TI's unless the tips were changed. Color of the metal is wrong too. I have Borla's that are similar but they have Borla stamped on the tips. Maybe Corsa touring w/pro tips??? Just another guess...

Corsas say "Corsa" on the top of the tip - show a pic of the muffler cans and maybe someone will be able to identify what you have a little easier.

Earlier Corsas didn't have "Corsa" on top of the tips (my Touring's didn't, my Pace cars do).

These don't look at all like pro tips though, with the metal rolled inward on the tips.

Yeah they're probably Corsa touring. B&B Bullets will be a very large step to the noisy side of life. Especially with headers. Just be prepared. Corsa Pace Cars have the same sound, only more of it. GHL has the Magnums, too which are very well liked by their owners.

Definately looks like a Corsa muffler. Tips I would guess are the Classic Tips.



This is what the Por Tips look like

They do look similar but are not B&B PRT's. I just put my set on last night and love'em. The cans are to big and there is a straight pipe that connects to the muffs w/ two h-style connections.

I would say those are Corsas.

I had a set of Corsa Indy Classics and the inlet pipe to the muffler was bolt on. If they are Corsa's and therefore Touring editions, they could be different but yours is welded so I'll guess they are a different brand altogether....Route 66?

Nope. Corsa Classics on the left, Borlas on the right.

We have the GHL Magnum Plus catback system with two chrome tips on our 97 and it sounds and looks awesome!
