Default Please post if your Corsa cat back has had no problems!!!

I still have time to cancel my order for the Corsa system, they are waiting for the premium tips to come in. I'm running cats, and have no plans to remove them. Please reassure me that some people have had GOOD experiences with this system!!! I was on the fence between B&B and corsa, but decided to get the corsa. I'm now nervous that I may have to keep swapping mufflers at my own expence of installation. Should I cancel and get the B&B??? Lots of feedback would be nice!!! Thanks in advance!!!!

Dan

I personally believe that you should give them a chance. There a LOT of good systems out there and obviously only the handful of people who have had the bad luck of getting the bad ones are going to make the most noise here. I am in the 'bad ones' boat, however I truly can't believe that the norm for these is bad. I say go with the Corsa. If you have one problem and it's like the othres that have had problems, sell it and grab the B&B. Corsa is a fine exhaust and has a great resale due to the tips and sound. I don't think that a few 'bad eggs' should ruin your choice... Give it a chance, the exhaust really does sound INCREDIBLE in person!

I installed a Corsa system during last winter's storage session and have driven it hard since the car went on the road this spring. It still sounds great, but I am regularly having the engine revved by someone else while I listen under the car - I have not heard anything abnormal as of yet. These posts about people having problems have made me a little paranoid.I would recommend the system wholeheartedly - sounds bad *** - tips look cool

no problem here. 6,000+ miles on it with many WOT runs. The only bad rattles I ever got were all from the heat shield on the floor and gas tank. Fitment and quality were good. Just try the Corsa. If you have to, just put in a different muffler later on. The premium tips alone make the exhaust worth any possible future problems.

I have had the B&B and Corsa, and the Corsa is by far the better choice for me. I like the looks, fit and finish, sound, everything. Now I did have that rattle but they replaced it for free in 3 days. No complaints from me about Corsa.

Been on my car almost 2 years. No problems or regrets. Top-of-the-line fit and finish. One of the best quality mods I've done. (And I've done all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> of them).

You can have my Corsa when you pry it from my cold dead hands! Almost 20,000 miles on it with no issues at all. The sound on the stock car was great, the sound with the headers is even better, the sound with the heads and cam on it is simply unbeatable!
