Default Corsa - Muffler System - Installation Link

I have been viewing other posts - ie...Caliper / Brake / Springs / Sways installations with great details and excellent pictures. Man this is great!!!

However, is there any links to give the same installation details for a:

* Corsa Exhaust Muffler System ?

* X-Pipe ?

* Bilstein Shocks ?

That will complete my installation package.

Thanks Forum,
Dennis

Excellent - thanks. However, I noticed in the description that it is reccommended to use a lift for the clearence to get the pipes out.

Anyone ever used just "floor stands" ? For your do it "yourselfer" - who has lifts ?

Thanks,

If you use jack stands for the change you will have to really get the car high.... I think the rear needs to be 30 or so inches in the air. I did the change myself with a floor jack and jack stands. I didn't have too much problem taking off the driver's side. The passenger side was a different story. I ended up cutting the pipe on that side to get it off. The new Corsa's go on with no problem though.

I agree with Mike04. I could not get the over axle pipes out without cutting. I was working off Rhino ramps. I did not mind cutting the stock system as I am sure I can repair it with a sleeve and clamps if necessary although I do not anticipate ever putting the stock system back on.
