If the v isn't your only form of transportation than you can sell you're oem exhaust and apply that towards the purchase of the corsa exhaust for extra savings...

What's the stock exhaust worth? I know its stainless but I've seen em being sold for just $100-$150 on craigslist and they rarely move.

You can get maybe $200 shipped for it if you sell it online, the base CTS guys like them.

so your $100-$150 is about right. You can cut it up and ship it in a reasonable size box.

Oh ok... Makes sense. Didn't think about the regular CTS guys using it as an upgrade.

Imposter V because of the weak exhaust tips?

I'm going to sell my Corsa eventually.

Actually yeah pretty much. I pretty much never close my cutouts other than highway cruising so I'd like to drop the excess weight (car is already down to 3700 lbs). My thought is to replace the resonators with a dual in muffler of some sort for the few times I need it to be quiet.

Otherwise, I do really like how the Corsa sounds although I've had the Kooks on for about five years now though.

Just weld in some Corsa muflers. the Corsa exhaust is nothing fancy just like a mangaflow or Borla.. 2.5in pipes+ X-pipe(stock is a x-pipe resonator keep it) +mufflers & tips.. go to a muffler shop and hack up your stock exhaust.. MAKE SURE they pull the cat-back off and weld it properly, it will leak.

Of all the exhausts.. Borla will always be my favorite
