Re: Got Corsa?
Are you using a stock corsa resonator? Or an X pipe?

Re: Got Corsa?
I have SW headers with Corsa resonator/mufflers. I used the SW ball flange adapter on the left side and the SW adapter pipe on the right side. The engine is stock except for intake & injector housing porting.
I have 3" high flow stainless cats that slip fit onto the headers and connect using v-clamp flanges on the exhaust side ... to install the cats with the above setup I need to have the Corsa front pipes shortened slightly and have v-clamp flanges welded on but I don't have access to an exhaust shop that will work with stainless ... so that's why I installed without cats. No inspection in my part of Georgia and I know a lot of people who run without cats, but I actually prefer to have cats on my vehicles. I'm trying to make a decision on whether to go all the way back to the most free flowing stock system that I can find or go with the Corsa with cats. Today I'm leaning toward the Corsa ... who knows where I'll be tomorrow !!! I am hoping to hear some good examples at BG in a couple of weeks or so. |

Re: Got Corsa?
I'm writing my reply as a couple of replies got posted ... thanks, I'm getting some good, solid info. I imagine I'll be talking to several of you at BG as well as listening to your setups.

Re: Got Corsa?
There has to be something going on with your piping arrangment air leakage etc. Mine is quiet with no resonance and only gets louder when you hammer it. Not at all like the experience your talking about.

Re: Got Corsa?
Apologies if I mislead ... I have zero resonance (I tried to induce resonance in the 1500-1900 rpm range & could not) and it's reasonably quiet at idle/normal driving RPMs (altho not as quiet as the Borla). Driving normally with the windows up the sound is hardly noticeable. But at WOT it really wakes up & screams ... this is not necessarily a bad thing, but louder than I expected. I'm curious if adding the cats will tone the sound down any.
