Default Thumbs up to Corsa Performance

I have a had Corsa Pace Car exhaust on my C5 for 32 months and 10000+ miles.
2 weeks ago we found a rattling noise in the rear of the car and after 3 of us going all over the rear of the car we detected the rattle coming from one of the Corsa mufflers.

I called Corsa on Monday 11/29 to see if anything could be done about this. I was asked to fax them my proof of ownership (proof of Sale).
Once they had that, a new muffler was on the UPS truck and on my door step Thursday 12/2.

I gotta thank Jim Schilling of Corsa's staff for being helpful to the point I'd say was beyond the call of duty. He did not waste a seconds time helping me out and keeping this customer satisfied.

Sunday morning 12/5, I just put the new muffler on the car and all's well.
All within a week's time.

Thanks Corsa, Thanks Jim Schilling

PS Corsa is still my favorite exhaust for the C5 that I have seen and heard in my 3 years+ of C5 ownership.

Yep. They're great. Gotta love 'em.

That's really backing up their product, too.

26sonic, they are Corsa Indie pace car, that is all one style. That is the more aggressive style, sound wise. Hope that helps.

The Corsa Pace Car exhaust ARE the Indy's. Corsa Indy's are just kind of a nickname people have given them. Corsa calls them the Pace Cars becasue they were origionally designed for the Indianapolis 500 C5 Pace Car in 1998. That's also why people have nicknameD them the "Indy's"

Its always encouraging when a company stands behind their product, with good customer service...

That being said Glenn, I am dismayed at the frequency of the Corsa mufflers failing over the years...

You are just one of many people whose Corsa mufflers have developed bad baffles in the muffler.

Its great that they replaced it, but it would be better if they could rectify the problem. This is NOT an isolated case....

I thought you were going to get GHL's anyway?

Any other Corsa problems? They seem to be the best. MagnaFlow with the CROSSOVER & True Dual outlets looks well made. Any opinions?

Thanks!!
