Default NEED HELP FINDING OR PIPE SETUP!!

I just got a set of TPIS headers. I want to run OR pipes from the headers to the Corsa I have. Here is the problem I have the corsa x pipe. now i will pull it and sell it but is there a kit that i can fit in between the two. most shops here in wichita, ks won't touch it. Emissions, what emissions. I have to not worry about that here for now. Anyone sell a pre made kit for this? header to cat back or header to x pipe.

If I understand what you want.

Any good muffler shop can put a "H" pipe back in where it was before you added the "X" pipe. They can make one if you did not keep the one they took out .. if you do not want a "H" pipe or a shorter "X" pipe than the Corsa's (I'd suggest that you have either and X or H put back in, just a shorter version, there are very good power reasons for the X or the H pipes) .. again the same muffler shop can just run straight pipes from the headers to you Corsa muffler flanges that are in front of your transaxle .. they can add a O2 sensor into these pipes if they want to , there by getting around the emmissions problem -

hope this helped ...

:cool: :cheers: :seeya

If the issue is that the shops won't make what you want and install on your car because of emissions, you can carefully draw and dimension what you want and have them make the piece for you or someone else install.

All the best. :yesnod:

Install the cats with Clamps on both ends and have the pipes made to replace the cats.
When you leave you must have the cats on Thats it>
