Corsa POP

Anybody getting a pop-- backfire on the Corsa exhaust ---when you rev the engine?? Sounds like my Vance and Hines before I put in a programmer.---

Corso Pop

I would bet that you don't have an X-pipe installed on your car. If you have an X pipe the pop will be removed. With the X-pipe you idle sound will be quieter as well. It all depends on what sound you are looking for and like.

I know with mine if I hammer it when it shifts from 1st to 2nd I get a strange sound that could be considered a backfire. Sounds kind of strange but performance is good, and like I said it only does it at WOT. I don't have X pipe and cats are still there.

I've got Corsa's and know exactly what you mean...add the x-pipe (I also have stock cats)...it'll get rid of most if not all the popping...you'll still have a "gurgle" noise when you down rev though (livable)...good luck...

Yeah...

I get a little of glass pack sound when decelerrating. So, what's not to like about that?

Pops?

I've got Dynatech Supermaxx LT's ceramic coated in and out, Hi flow cats, X-pipe and Corsa touring and NO popping, Sounds awesome at hi rpm, I love 'em.
Installation of the Corsa's was a snap. Used a lift and also installed Z06 sway bars front and rear. about 2 hours.
Tip alignment was easy.

My B&B Route 66s did the same thing - installed an X-pipe and the popping was gone.

I call it the angry shotgun.
I have American Racing Headers, Xpipe and hiflo Cats. Corsa Pace GTR.

When you acelerate, and then let off i can a pop and then a grumble.

You can purposely make it happen every time by hitting 50 mph in 3rd gear and then just let off hard on the gas. POP.

Normal. Its pressure equalization.

If you get it with JUST a rear change, not the headers back, you might have a loose baffle.
