Very nice!! I had heard you had an 'unplanned' upgrade to Gen IV. Love the SSG!

Love the shot of the State Flag of Texas as well.

Best unplanned upgrade ever. :) Drove to Minnesota to get that SSG.

I have a few shots of the TX flag on the hood and windscreen of a shiny new Mustang too. Great shot.

Do you have 'before' numbers, and did you do the hi-flow cats, too? Is it a 3" system? I'm curious about what kinds of gains people are seeing from the hi-flow cats and cat-back system. I 'think' the system is good for about 15 rwhp, but it would be interesting to see some stats.

Very nice. The exhaust with just the Corsa is more muted than I would have expected.

I was dissappointed as well coming from 2005 circa Corsa's on my Gen III car. Sounded great. Not much change on the Gen IV. Meh.

No before numbers. All stock except for 2.5" Corsa catbacks.

SSG with razor wheels from a dealer in minneapolis, with a 3m clear bra on the front?

Was looking at that car when I searching for a SSG roadster, they wouldn't budge on price so I moved along. Nice car !

Did they come down from their asking price of 74k?

I flew up a few weeks ago and picked it up and drove it back to Dallas. I got them down to $65,500 after they relisted it at $69,900.

The car has $3K worth of clear bra on it. Nose, hood, front fenders, side sills, rear quarter panels...crazy.

Good numbers. My 08 dynoed 560hp and 537tq with just 2.5" catback magnaflow looks like the Corsa trumped the magnaflows :lmao:.

Well of course! ;)

However, I am not really thrilled with the sound of the Corsa catbacks on my car. They are very quiet...until you put your foot in it. They were relentless on my Gen III car and I expected the same. Oh well. I will live. Gonna lose what little decel pop there is after the Mopar PCM anyway. If it all fixed the TERRIBLE throttle lag, I will be happy though.

Good price, for a sharp car ! Strong numbers too.

I have mopar PCM in my 08 and love it, it will help with throttle delay, better idling just all around good upgrade.

I picked up 57 rwhp from it and my full Belanger kit.

Great State of Texas
I know the Corsa madea huge difference in osund on my 2004. I hear that with the GenIVs the bBellanger headers and exhaust are the way to go. I know on my dads 08 the sounds is incredible. Very deep and loud. Would have loved to have seeen some before numbers to see how the car reacted to the Corsa setup. great numbers though... and a great color too.
