you will not notice any gain....in fact you will lose low end torque and feel more sluggish....to offset that you can throw in an x-pipe to gain back the low end torque but it will mellow out the exhaust note...I went thru all this with my 2000....so I called corsa and swapped for the Pace Car mufflers...that with the xpipe sounds mean enough with no low end torque missing....AN exhaust should be looked at in 2 ways...for sound/Aesthetics(chrome tip choices) and for letting the car breathe better for future mods...not for hp gain you will notice...In fact the Corsa's are great....but heavier than stock....hope that helps!
