I have always heard good things about Corsa. Can't wait to see it on the car. I have Borla on my car. I sure hope I don't have the issues you are having. If I do, Corsa might be an option.

HOLY COW!!! Those look great!

Question for you all though (Jay, maybe you know), from the pic above, does that show ADJUSTABLE TIPS? If so, that is awesome, because I'll never have fitment issues again, if that were the case.

Not a Mustang kit. Just a random couple of pics I found. I wanted to see how well they were constructed. Looks like high quality to me.

Ok folks... I got off the phone with Corsa. I spoke to a very well spoken and informed main tech person there. I learned a lot about them and their company and their product. It sounds like I'll be in good hands with them as well. I actually am discussing with them potential weld issues, if any, that might arise. I'll be showing them my Borlas and seeing if there is something we can do collectively, to avoid that in the future. But they will support me as far as I know.

Btw, I verified that they use 304SS.

I also confirmed my thoughts on the "sound" of Corsa versus Borla. It appears that the Borlas are more old school/cherry bomb sounding overall, while the Corsas are more refined, more european (like a V12 euro car was what he put it), and smooth throughout the entire rev range, coming ALIVE once the gas is stepped. Will I like it MORE than my Borlas? I will find out tonight and tomorrow when I install.

I can't wait.

To me, that's a quality control issue.... And the fact that each variation "varies" as well is even weirder. Meaning, some off by 1/3" some by 1/2" some by 3/4". That's not good, man.
That's gotta be the cause. Way too many people have had great luck with Borlas for too long for this to be a consistent issue. But whoever is running their plant currently needs a new job. 4 systems all being off/bad is an amazing streak of incompetence.

Steve... question for you.

Did you have to drill weep holes? Or does Corsa recommend that? I have a tech call into them for that question. It's probably not recommended, but with my latest Borla situation, perhaps it's good that I do put them in. The question then is where do they recommend it. Do you have a pdf by any chance?

^^^ HAHAHAHAHA pretty cool pic. What'd you use? Photoshop? I like that. "Installed"

yeah, it's going to get installed in a few hours here. I'm already cracking my knuckles. Had to wipe some drool off my face too.

I am guessing Burton has installed them but not driven the car. It has been raining all day in Iowa.

Folks… time for a different thread to come to life. Sorry for the delay. But I am very very very very very very very very happy.

New thread is also in this section.
