Genuinely wondering this as well. Maybe not Corsa, but will most midpipes hook up to this?

You can certainly try hooking it to the Borla x-pipe, but don't be surprised if it doesn't work (or needs the x-pipe modified).

Thank you, also do you need the O2 extensions if you are having the rear the O2 sensors tuned out of the car?

You need both 3" and 2.5" (front section is 3" and connection to factory exhaust is 2.5"). I posted the 2.5" as an example (fastest to find a picture of).

Kooks with cats and coated…you’re inching close to $4k before install. Now, it would be pretty sweet!

Currently fabricating a speed engineering system with flow master race cats and V bands coupled to a magnaflow 15660 cat back. Here is pictures of it currently, should be done in a few days will post more pictures and video of sound on new thread later.


System mocked up with cat and v band locations marked

X-Pipe with v-band and Cat back adapters finished.
