Default What Exhaust is this?

Hey guys I am not too sure what exhaust I just bought. I bought it as a Corsa, but there is nothing on it that says Corsa, so I just want to be sure. Anyone?

I bought a car that had a corsa but had no marking on it either, I posted it up here and came to find out it was an actual corsa. That looks just like the one i had. Here is a link to the thread with pics....

If nothing else those are either Corsa tips or very good clones...The only thing that I am hung up on is the clamps that are used. Corsa uses ~1" wide band clamps not the standard "U" shaped clamps...it is totally possible that the kit was purchased used by the previous owner of your ride and it did not come with the clams. I would not be surprised if this were the case, band clamps are not the cheapest out there and they definitely are among the best as far as clamping/sealing performance is concerned...all in all I would say that is a second hand corsa cat back.

That's a Corsa. I just bought a used one too and there's no markings. The hangers are a sign it's real. Also, check for a tiny weep-hole on the bottom/back.

Looking again, those aren't Corsa tips; not even good clones. But it still looks like a Corsa muffler/tailpipes.

Those ARE Corsa tips. They're the older premium tips that are highly desired and no longer produced.

I put a Corsa on my car back in 01 - before they had "premium tips." Clamps are definitely wrong.
