Do a search on here, I have read of 2 or three that the same thing happened. Just contact Corsa and they should take care of it.

Call Corsa and ask for Paul-he will take care of you!! I have the same problem as you right now.. I am taking the car up to them for a free muffler, and for them to straighten the system, since it just dosnt fit right. I have other business up there that day(Fri June 7th), so I am stopping buy for the work, and a plant tour.

I will post after the fix next Fri. Mine rattles BAD, and since day one. Only 2000 miles on it so far. Good Luck!!

I had the same problem twice now. Lets hope the third muffler I got lasts longer then the three months the other two did. they replace it for free each time but removing and reinstalling has become difficult because the pipes that clamp to the muffler get tighter each time. Good luck

I had the same problem and they send out a replacement free. They do have a lifetime warranty on their products so don't wory about it.

My Corsa muffler did the same thing a few months ago. I called them and they sent me new muffler under warranty and I sent the old one back. Their customer service is really good so you shouldn't have any problems. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
