Hi Bill,
I,am trying to figure out a fix on a friends quad cruiser w/ x pipe installed.
The drivers side tips are protuding 3/4" from the rear of the body. The pass. side tip is protuding 1 3/4" from the rear .I checked the measurement from the tranny bracket.This is whats on his car 30 1/2" on the drivers & 29 1/4" on the pass. Should be 31 1/2" & 30" the quad cruiser & the Corsa sytem are the same. My question is where to start to correct this situation? I want to make the correction per the instructions & recut at the h pipe & make the cut from the front of the bracket 31 1/2" & 30" on the pass. side.(Is this the right place to start?) What does this measurement insure or represent? I think that this insures that the tips come out flush with body.Not positive though.
Thanks for any advice or recommendation

I'm very pleased with my Corsa Touring cat-back.

It fits your criteria very well - doesn't attract undue attention, interior noise is no more than stock up to about 3000 rpm, but it hollers when you're into it.

Thanks to all of your responses. I just had the Corsa Pace Car installed and they are great. The sound is just right. A nice rumble but not over the top. The interior sound is perfect, well I shouldn't say for sure, I've been riding with the top down all day. Anyway, I had the Touring on order and when I red Evil-Twins input here I decided that I'd change it to the Pace Cars. I'm very happy with that decision. They are not that loud, for me anyway, but when you want them to make a statement then they are there for you. I'm very happy with them and this thread.

You have been misinformed. We have never stopped manufacturing C5 exhaust.

I am having a set of Extreme's with X pipe installed tomorrow on a bone stock 02 vert.
I will report back on my impressions of how loud on and off throttle. I bought the Extreme's because of the deeper tone they have as opposed to the Pace Car and Touring sets. I don't expect a mustang or small block chevy sound but WOT, downshifting etc. I want it to talk to me. No drone was a big deal to me so look forward to not much change in the cab at 1500 rpm if what we are told is correct.
