Can anyone Identify this exhaust? Corsa? 2 bolt connection in front of rear tire

Trying to find a gasket for the below connection...Exhasut was on the car when I purchased it in 2004. Was installed sometime in 2001-2002. It does "slip fit", and band clamp, onto the Cat.. But also has a 2 bolt connection right in front of the rear wheel. The welds look factory to me, so I dont think this connection was "added". I went to replace the gaskets on the 2-bolt flange. Only to find out "Corsa" does not have any connections, and is completely "slip fit". Is that correct? If memory serves, I was told the exhaust was Corsa, by the prior owner. Is it?? Basically, Just looking for anyone who would carry this gasket. None of the parts stores, could match it. No part# or description, to order it either. thanks much...

Looks like a Corsa to me.

The intercooled tips would lead me to believe that is the later model 4-muffler Borla system. Corsa has polished tips with rolled edges.

hmm. Im really curious now.. I just looked at pictures of the 4 muffler Borla. Dont think thats it....I always looked at the tips, and thought it looked different than a Corsa. But never thought about changing it. Since, it sounds great, combined with the Random Tech high flow cats (which I did intall). The car had stock cats on it, when I bought it.

I can tell (by the welds) the connection was not added, after the fact. This is how the exhaust came, and was made. By whomever..

From the pictures. It looks like the Borla 4 muffler system has "Borla" stamped, in raised letters, on the mufflers. This does not..

It looks similar to the Corsa's "Track" system, for the SRT/10. But on Corsa's site, its only showing the 1 system for GenII's..

I agree, my Corsa's are polished inside. Not Corsa's.

 

[kcobean]

yeah, that's not Corsa's system. The tips are wrong and the Corsa doesn't have that joint in front of the back tire.

Summitt sells copper 2 bolt gaskets btw.

Edit: Oops I'm thinking 2.25"-which yours probably is not.

Anyway, you should be able to find copper ones somewhere.

I have no clue what it is but I changed your title to Viper Owner as it's obvious you are, and I might add your car is immaculate, you could eat off the suspension. Do me a favor and add your vin to your profile to make my change conform. No one sees the vin but us admins. Oh, think about joining VCA also. Last chance for the cut rate $100 for the rest of this year and all of next before it goes up.

 

[GTS Bruce]

Just cut out your own gasket.Simple and easy. GTS Bruce

Thank you Lee... I will add my VIN#.. My car has 14,000 miles on it. The enitre bottom of the car looks like that. There is not a single scratch under the facia either. Never any repainting done at all...I took the side sill off, and the production date is still clearly visible written in "sharpie" Y11/3/00 (2001 model year). Thought that was pretty neat..

Yes, I will join the VCA. Been meaning to. This site has been a tremendous resource to me. Thats the least I could do.

Thanks for the input guys.. Im sure I will find a gasket, or cut one myself.. But now I'm really wondering. What exhaust do I have?

 

[TAXIMAN1]

Did they make a Corsa 3' "race" exhaust for GenII... Im thinking thats what it might be.

I dont think its Borla.. I just looked at detailed pics of their "4 muffler" system.. Could be wrong though

I'll look at mine when I go home to verify 100%, but I am 95% sure it is a 2.5' Corsa (which is what I have). Before Corsa started making the 3.0', they only sold a 2.5'. It sounds incredible and flow as well as the 3.0' for a car making under 550HP. Big HP cars might gain a little switching to the 3'. To be honest, the stock headers + stock cats is where the HP is lost. No so much the cat-back IMHO. I'll post back in 3 hours when I get home from work.

P.S. - If I can confirm it's a 2.5 Corsa, a simple phone call to them will provide you with the gasket info.

Well, mystery solved. This IS a Corsa 2.5' system...

I pulled an old thread, from 7/2001. In which the original owner of this car, noted that he installed a Corsa exhaust.. After calling Corsa, they confirmed. This is an "early" version 2.5' exhasut, probably made in 2000. They did have those 2 bolt connections.. For future reference. The replacement gasket is the exact same gasket, used on a C5 Corvette axle pipe connection.

Glad you got an answer! It's always strange when you see these exhausts that have components that look familiar (in this case the mufflers, which look just like the current 3" system's mufflers), but other parts just don't add up.

lol, mine had just made a BUNCH of dyno pulls at WOT.

Well, at least you aren't doing your dyno pulls at half throttle.

Yep. Same as mine. 2.5' Corsa. Now go to your nearest tunnel and open it up. Music to the ears....

To wrap this thread up, and for future reference. The replacement gasket for this is, Fel-Pro Part #60025. Available at Advance Auto stores..

 

[SquadX]

looks to be the same on mine---corsa

Not sure if this applies to your system, but that two bolt connection looks like those on my belanger system (not saying yours is). When I did the install, they said to use high temp silicone gasket maker instead of a gasket. Said the surface is machined flat and doesn't require a typical gasket. You can pick up a tube at any parts store. once you figure out who made it, you might want to check with them to see if the silicone would work.

Oops, didn't see the second page, looks like you already figured it out... never mind
