Thumbs up Corsa Rocks

Installed the Corsa Catback & it does exactly what they say. Sounds great when you get on it & it's as quiet as stock on the highway (cruise set on 79).
Haven't really noticed much MPG improvement (maybe cause I like the sound!)
Noticeable power increase? yeah, but it's just a catback.

BTW, that this was extremely easy to install, had it on the lift about 45 minutes & that included taking off the stock parts. Very high quality & no I don't own any Corsa stock.

I loved mine for about a year. Something has come loose in the muffler and it rattles at idle. Corsa will not respond to my questions about replacing, I've even offered to pay for a muffler, just don't want ot pay for entire system again.

No problems with mine for almost 2 years, and 50K miles. Still sounds great, finally getting around to putting headers on this week.

Default Corsa Not Responding? This does not sound like them.

Unhappy

Corsa still does not make an exhaust system for the VHO's!!!!!!!!!!
I spoke with them about 2 months ago and they told me they would have a system for my truck in 2 months. Well........ nothing yet, but they still claim it is in the makes.
I just cannot wait any longer. Though I will wait until they make a kit for my truck.
Then I was going to try Dynatech for the long tubes with cats and there again, they do not make a complete bolt on system for the VHO yet.
Well, I guess it takes time. My cash flow will need a little recooperating anyways.
Hope one of the two make something quick.

does the stock exhaust setup vary that different from standerd silverados, or even the SS??? i would think it would be the same as a standerd silverado, or the same as a silverado ss. one or the other.

I thought so too, though aparently they just had to make it different than both the SS and regular Silverados. Hangers are placed different, and the VHO has 2 bolt on flanges (one flange per exhaust pipe) between the cats and the muffler.
This sucks.

2 or 3 emails to persons I've found from the website. Nada back. Probably should have called.
