Default Corsa Pace Car and X Pipe

I just purchased a Corsa Indy Pace Car exaust system and X pipe for my 2002 Vert. I plan to install them this weekend. Any tips or tricks when removing the stock exhaust or installing the new one? Thanks

I've had that set up on 2 different C5's and I wouldn't install anything else!

This is how you DO NOT remove the factory cat-back!



This was my attempt... I wound up using a sawz-all to cut it out.

When the Corsa pieces are all on, throw your old oem system in the dumpster.

My old stock systems been in the attic for 12 years, next to the boxed up wagon wheels. Don't ask!

Would of at least thought he would of put the jack stands on top of a bunch of flat bricks not the leaning tower of wood blocks that do not even look balanced.


At least he came to his senses

If you think that is bad you should have seen mine when I did it.
But your first mistake was not dropping the rear sway bar, it MUST be completely out of the way and dropped as low as it can go(ask me how I know). It was defiantly pretty scary and it slipped a few times and got closer to falling off each time. Also I had to get mine a full 36 inches off the ground, I was able to fit a yard stick under the rear bumper.
