I've never seen such a claim for Corsa Indies. Is there any HP gain associated with them??
Many thanks.

Any claims are going to be bit suspicious with cats in front of the muffelers. Maybe a few HP but the choke point is the cats.

There really isnt much to gain on swapping out the muffler/exhaust system until you get into the higher horse power arena. Corsa Touring was my first mod and I really liked it... since then the car has gone through an entire transformation performance wise. The Corsa's are still on the car and sound meaner and louder due to changes with the rest of the exhaust system. I have not heard any other mufflers I like better..

Go here to check out what they sound like. I bet they give ~5hp more than a more restrictive catback and more than that over the stock catback. The sound of Corsa Indy's on the dyno
