Re: Another Corsa down the tubes

I don't see how this one went so fast <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> The last 2 had a little abuse between heavy Nitrous use and over 75 1/4 mile passes,but nothing that should kill a muffler <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Damn,I only have 13k miles on the car <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Re: Another Corsa down the tubes

I think its just time to give up on corsa Not saying theyre a bad company, but you need a muffler that will last as long as the car. Or atleast as long as the stock bottom end <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Another Corsa down the tubes

My Corsa has been on for 20000 miles with no problems. Around a year and 4 or 5 months. I know some people have had problems with theirs but mine has been good to me and it sounds extra nice with long tube headers and a cam. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

2 years with my Corsa and never a problem. Great exhaust in my opinion. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Re: Another Corsa down the tubes

Ive had mine on for a year and change and no problems yet. Love the tone, no drone, and the tips are superb. Exactly how does a muffler "go bad". I didnt even know that could happen to a new one. I know they can wear out over time but crapping out all at once is news to me. Sorry to hear about your troubles...for how much you pay for a Corsa it ought to out last the friggin car!!

Re: Another Corsa down the tubes

something has happened at corsa, I dunno what it is, I recomend a magnaflow muffler, has worked flawlessly for months while the muffler corsa sent me is under the bed, because I know it will break. 3 broken ones is enough for me!
