exhaust burble cure
Hello everyone, Newbie here
How well does the Corsa crossover pipe work curing the burble?
Have Indy exhaust installed. Also just installed a clb from Mid America prior to lock up problem. It was easy enough and now I have no steering lock at all. Thanks!

X-pipe helps but does not cure the burble. I have read that it can be taken out with a tune. IDK if that's true or not. Have not seen it in person being done. With that, my car has the burble even after the X-pipe. But I love the sound.

The burble can be tuned out and is caused by unburned fuel hitting the exhaust. The fuel tables can be tuned to reduce the amount of fuel "trims" and lessen the sound. I do like the sound also though :-)

I stayed with the stock pipes so far because I don't like the burble either. It does not sound healthy to me.
What exactly is going on there? Is it cooking your exhaust valves or something?

Most of the burble comes from the firing order,,it is more pronounced with the stock H pipe as there is practically no cross flow between pipes(only a tiny 1/2" hole inside that big 2 1/2" cross tube) I ran straight pipes for a week and it sounded the same , just louder!!

I don't know what y'all are talking about with this "cure" stuff. LG Pros, X pipe, with a tune and B/B Bullets, I still have a burble just not quite as annoying.
I would strongly disagree that V8's are supposed to sound like this, Oh well, I still think this car rocks.

Indy's here
I have the Corsa Indy's and X pipe. I didn't notice that much difference after X pipe install. I'd been running the Indy's for a year w/o the X pipe so I had time to notice if there was much change!
