It can't hurt, but I believe the CORSA systems are all stainless...

You can use it.Corsa's are chrome.I've been using that
product for 4 years and have never had any ill-effect.

I wasn't aware that the CORSA tips were chrome...but to answer your question, chrome polish is usually a finer/milder grade of polish (less grit) so it doesn't scratch the thin veneer of chrome.
On stainless, it would do no harm as it's a metal not a coating.
If in doubt, ask the manufacturer of the exhaust system or read the label of the polish.

I have the Corsa exhaust as well. I tried a lot of different polishes but found Adam's Metal polish 1+2 are the best by far. I put on two coats of #1, then one of #2. i waited 2 weeks and did it again. My $.02.

For my stainless tips, I use Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish on mine and it does a very good job of keeping them looking nice.

Simichrome is good, too. A little harder to find, though.
