Got a chance to install the Corsa exhaust last night.
Upon opening the box, the mirrored stainless steel muffler was impressive and definitely quality made.

Install took 2 hours and 15 minutes by myself, it was pretty easy and straight forward.

Important things I learned prior to install.

1. If you remove the spare tire and the two bolts for the heat sheild, you do not have to jack the truck up to remove the stock exhaust. Yes my truck suspension is stock.

2. I used air tools, but they would not be required for this job. Required tools are minimal.
- 3/8 ratchet
- 15mm,13mm,10mm,9/16" Sockets.
- 6-12" Extension
- rubber mallet
- can of PB breaker lubricant
- silicon spray or soapy water for the exhaust mounts.

After a quick battery reset, the sound is much to my liking. Throaty at low speeds and at WOT, but almost non existent at cruising speeds above 40, unless passing. I took before and after video but the mic on my camera was not good enough and resulted in a bunch of feedback.

Overall do I feel any seat of the pants performance gains......None, but I feel the sound makes the driving experience more enjoyable.

 

on the reset, i was told by corsa to disconnect negative and hold brake pedal for 30sec. then drive for about 50miles. it will improve, trust me.

 

Link to the kit?


Looks very easy to install.

I will give the brake pedal and disconnect a try.

 

In your opinion was is enough sound improvement to be worth the $$ ?

I like the part about 0 drone.

 

I just went back to stock from a Magnaflow SIDO. I think the Corsa would be the only setup I'd consider since they claim ZERO Drone. The stock exhaust is nice to have back on. What's the part about the brakes? Hold the brake for 30? pretty slick, wish I'd have done that with the maggie on.

 

what does the computer reset procedure do for a cat-back alone install??

 

The neg. battery cable trick only good for the '09-'11 trucks?? Thanks

 

that would be waaaaay wrong. any vehicle that has a ecu can be reset to engine changes. the point I have been trying to make is, not all engines will require this reset( quote from corsa tech) and will adjust just fine with the intake or exhaust changes. I live in texas, most of my past engine changes required a reset, which is also call a quicky. the other optio is to run it a couple hundred mile serves the same purpose.

 

might be going back to corsa. borla on back order and after some more thought, corsa maybe the wise choice.

 

Did you have Corsa before? If so, why did you switch?

I would like hear Corsa from inside the cab, but cant find any interior vids.

 

I have about 9k on my corsa exhaust and absolutely love it! Didn't bother messing around with any other exhaust when I purchased the my truck. I can assure you the exhaust is quality ZERO DRONE when cruising. Inside the cabin is very quiet I drive about 70 MPH on the highway and I don't know its even there until I have to get on the gas. Hope this helps to all on the fence about this exhaust.

 

Very Helpful. Thanks
