Default Installed corsa exhaust

Drivers side stock muffler came out quickly, but for the passenger side I had to lower the cradle. I love the new sound. Now to sell the old exhaust.

Default 2006 exhaust

In 2006 some of the earlier exhaust you had to do it. I think in 2007 thay modified the pipe a little so it could come out. I had similar problem with my 2006.

Did you get the x-pipe too? Was thinking of getting this exhaust for my Z06. Where you buy the exhaust from?

They look smaller, thereby lighter than the stock setup. Are they? Corsa states 10-13 wrhp gain also. That would make them well worth it. Is there any problems with taking apart the dual-mode setup and code problems. Thanx.

No codes. No problems. Maybe a little bit lighter. Change mufflers for Sound, not horsepower.

I mentioned HP because Corsa emphasized that fact when I called them a few days ago. 10hp, if true, is nothing to sneeze about!

Default GM Direct

Best price I seen so far, when I check GM Direct last year, around a year ago, it was under $1300, gone up some since then. This price for the Xpipe and muffler system.


In most cases, gmpartsdirect.com total price (delivered to your business or home) is less than GM wholesale. Compare our prices with your local dealer. If you find these parts delivered to your door cheaper online, please let us know.
