New Corsa system installed!
I just got my corsa pace car cat-back system w/the x-pipe and had it installed the same day. The guys at my muffler shop did a great job and it sounds awesome! :yesnod: I love those pro tips. I am glad I went with this system and look forward to many more mods to make my corvette experience that much better. :cool:

Your going to enjoy the Corsa Inty Pace Car sound.
Let me know after you have a few miles if you get black exhaust traces at the clamps. After a few months, I have black traces from the drain holes (as expected) but get them from each of the clamps.
The clamps are 100% tight and I fear twisting something off if I try to make them
tigher. I recall others posting notes about the Corsa leaks being normal.

I have the Corsa on my SS and noticed the black coming out near the clamps as well. I tightened mine up a little more, but I think the carbon is leaking due to the clamp design. I think the clamps is tight everywhere except where the bolt goes across.

You might want to check the clamps after 15-20 heat/cool-down cycles and make sure they are tight. When I checked mine I was surprised how loose they were after only a couple of weeks.

I checked all clamps are TIGHT. I have come to the conclusion that Corsa's just leak
due to the clamp design. I don't think it hurts anything. Small price to pay for the sound.
