Borla to Corsa Conversion I am a currently running a Borla catback system on my car, and i want to change to a Corsa, but can i just change the muffler??? and maybe buy that and the tips? or do i have to buy the whole catback??
I guess it can be done... is your Borla adjustable? ...if so, you'll need to purchase a 3in single inlet/outlet Corsa muffler if you can find one
swapping the tips is a PIA as well since the Borlas are quite a bit longer and the inlet is 'squished' a bit, not perfectly round, and is angled... a good welder/exhaust guy should be able to swap 'em with some time

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you are only going with the muffler and tips for cost reasons, isn't the the bulk of the price anyhow? Why not just get the whole thing new at that point?
Ya why not just sell the borla and use that money toward something new? Changing the tips on a borla is retarded. Like already said the tips are welded on a long piping. When I cut mine off the piping wasnt even round at the end. In reality if you could actually buy just a corsa muffler which I dont think is possible, youd be in alot of money in parts and labor when all is said and done.

Yea man you can have that done easily at a good exhaust shop.
I really think your better off trying to find a used Corsa or someone that wants to trade. Ive honestly never seen just a Corsa muffler for sale and seeing how genuine corsa tips are just about $200 im assuming the muffler isnt cheap just like the whole catback system.
