I just finished installing the new Corsa Catback. I bought the track system (with 2 1/2 inlets for stock cats) so it goes from the stock cats right out the same side--no crossover--no hot seats!!! Sounds great. No drone! It has a nice idle sound as it almost makes the car sound like it has a lumpy cam. Also like the polished tips. Got it from Jon B and he made me a nice deal and got it to me in just a couple days.

The big pain in the **** is getting the top front side sill nuts loose and then tight upon installation. If anyone does this make sure you do a search on here as there are a couple threads with a few tricks on tackling the top side sill nuts. No, I don't have a sound clip, but AbsolutHank just posted a sound clip of the what I think is the same setup on his car. Sounds the same to me.

Your going to be so happy with them, and if your ever need it louder go with the HF cats or delete tha second cat. I just love my corsa. The cars is looking great BTW.

FYI, the Viper tech at Tomball Dodge, just pulled the inner wheel well liner and the sill bolts were easy to work with. Your car is really starting to come together, very nice mods :2tu:

I thought about doing that and definately will next time I need to get to those things... That would require removing tire also I would suspect--at least that's what it looks like. By the way, thanks to Cubican & Slithr for the comments about my mods.

I got driver side off, with my arm in the side sill for about an hour. It was a nightmare, i tryed open ended wrench ratchet from craftsman, regular wrench. It just took time. On the passenger side i couldnt get it. Took the wheel off realized i would have to unhook the front bumber from the inter well to, said piss on it and got the drill out. I figured putting them back on and lining them up would have been worst than taking them off. I drilled a 5/8 hole directly under the bolt, and simply used a socket. Much easier. To cover it up i took a 3/4 inch plastic groomet from lowes and black siliconed it in. It looks good ill get some photos if i can. Just looks like a factory push pin.

Yep, get out the dremel or drill. Save you hours of fun time.
