Default question about corsa knockoffs

so these corsa knock off have a smaller diameter than the rest of most catbacks.

Is there any worry about these tips losing hp because of the smaller diameter?

I you haven't already you should probably post this question in the "external Engine" forum. I have pondered that thought myself

You know buying the knock off compared to the real thing will bite you in the ***. Save for a real corsa and you will be happy in the long run. And i dont think anyone is knocking off a corsa muffler correctly. The internals of the muffler are very complicated.

In fact, there could be variance here or there, however the fact of the matter remains if I were you I would put aside the minute available increase, and contemplate the potential of the entire system.

The guys talking about knock-off muffler? Only the k-o tips exist.

I have the tips. In fact I'm going to be selling them here soon. No problems and my exhaust shop had me out of there in 1 hour.

The tips look a hell of a lot better than anything out there.

$115 compared to $250.... Make your own decisions. Polished Stainless tube with triple chrome tips.

Yea I have the tips too and I couldn't be happier! They look great and my shop had me out in about a half hour. I doubt you would lose any HP over a 5/8 of an inch. Plus for the look and price you can't beat it.
