Help identifying axle back type
Hey all, I purchased an axle back system from eBay from a parts recycler. I thought it was a corsa sport, but I don't think it it after getting a closer look. I've only been able to find 2-3 other examples of this system, but nobody knows what it is. The exhaust cutouts are QTP and an aftermarket addition. I have more pictures with it on my car, these are just from the listing I got it from.

I have that same exhaust on my car. It is the quiet version which I do believe way back when was called the Touring.
I am not a fan of the old style tips so I ended up cutting them off and welding some black stainless 3.5 inch tips in their place.

Also just to add clarity Sport and Touring are the same thing essentially. It is the quiet version of their axleback for the C5. For whatever reason they seemed to feel the need to change name some years back.

This looks like an early Crosa that was unmarked. If you send pics to Corsa, they should be able to help validate.

That is correct. All the early kits with the now dated looking tips are unmarked. Really IMO no need to bother Corsa. It is the real deal.
