How easy is it to install these, it looks like 4 clamps and support braces. It can't be that simple can it? Thanks in advance, L8R ZFLASH

Would either one of you have the template from Corsa on how much to cut on the stock pipes, I bought these off here from a member and it didn't come with them. The cut is two different sizes for the driver and passenger sides, if you could measure them and let me know I'd appreciate it. The You Tube video shows the cutting, but not the lengths. L8R ZFLASH

You Tube videos show that the stock pipes need to be cut, different lengths on each side?

I installed the full Corsa cat-back (X-pipe & Xtremes) with just Race Ramps. Here’s a good installation vid:

Yes I've seen this video, but at 4:55 in the video they are using the cutting template I'm asking about and don't have. I need to know the width of both these templates so I can cut mine, the seller didn't provide these. Thanks

Bump, I don’t have the template either and need to know how much to cut both the driver and passenger side. Anyone know the lengths?

^^^ Try contacting Corsa. Perhaps they will send you the template, or provide the exact measurements.

Just got off the phone with a corsa rep. Drivers side template is 1.875 inches and passenger is 1.125 inches. Follow the instructions on corsa a website to measure from the right spot. You can cut the measurements on cardboard or something then place on the pipe to draw your cut line. Hope this helps anyone else in the same situation. cheers!

What is wrong w Corsa not making it fit without cutting. Terrible design. That’s the reason I went w Borla. No cutting. But borla was not a perfect fit 😡

these exhaust manufacturers need to step up there game. 😡. Especially for the prices their charging

Unless you're buying a system that requires you to re-use a portion of the stock system, there is no cutting. My Corsa Xtreme exhaust, including the double helixx x-pipe, was easy to install, and fit perfectly. And, that was my first time installing an exhaust.
