I'm not sure, but here is a good video on removing the stock exhaust on a 2005, and replacing it with a Corsa Sport: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJaJjUoUOms

Here's a link to Corsa's official installation instructions:

On mn6 cars it looks like all you have to do is unbolt the spring hangers to give you a bit more swing, unless you feel like cutting.
I've had to reinstall mine a few times now and I'll just say it is really pretty easy. One thing to be sure of though is to make sure the over the axle pipe is clear of the frame (by either pulling it back or pushing it forward in the H pipe) so that the curve in the over axle pipe does not hit on turns.

If you're buying a used Corsa system, they recommend you use new clamps.
And you should re-torque them after a couple heat/cool cycles.
Great sounding exhaust system, good luck.

Its easier to put in if you drop the mid pipe, mid pipe is only held in place by 6 bolts and takes about 5 mins to remove. If you have a friend to help you this install shouldnt take an hour. Getting the tips aligned will be the biggest pain in the ***.

Agree. You will be speaking a foreign language and really hating yourself if you don't drop the mid-pipe (H or X). It doesn't take that long, easiest part of the job, and makes the removal and install so much easier. In addition, you will need the mid-pipe loosened during install to assist you in aligning the over the axle pipes and mufflers/tips.
