Default CORSA SUCKS!!

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Ok, I know some people are on like their 4th one by now, but I just took mine off today, because it was rattling like ****. I am so pissed off. That was my second. It's not worth it to just keep having them send me new mufflers, even if they are free. I am fed up.. If you don't have one, don't get one. It's not worth the money, especially if you have any kind of exhaust or engine work. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> It sounds so awesome without a muffler. If it wasn't so loud, I'd just leave it like that.

Can anyone recommend a good muffler that won't bust after a week of use?
thanks

You will most likely hear Hooker Aerochamber a lot. Could sell your tips and go true duals.

Banks Power has a new catback out for he LS1s and they have better looking tips now too. Give Thunder Racing a call. Hooker is what I run and I've never had a problem.

I love my hooker, but after 3 1/2 years it too rattles. Problem busted out the aerochamber when I sprayed some water in a tailpipe at a carwash. It lasted over 3 years without rattling though.

My Corsa is rattling like b!tch now too, damnit. I've read these threads a million times, now its my turn <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

So whats the best process... Just call Corsa and they send you a new one or do you have to send them the defective one? I sure hope not <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I havent even payed attention to how its connected, is it easy to remove just the muffler and nothing else?

I think you would be happy with a hooker if you keep the water hose out of the pipes too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I really like my B&B Triflow.
It's kinda pricey but If you have a Bird. Nothing looks better than the dual 3 1/2" oval tips.
It sounds sweet too!!

good luck!

Thanks everyone. The Corsa is not too cheap, either, and that is why I am so mad.

I was thinking true duals, but it is so loud right now, I don't think I could stand it if it was like this all the time. I need a muffler, that is for sure....

My duals have Dynomax bullets, and I don't think it is too loud. I have had a LM for over a year, and made the change from LT's/ORY/LM, so anythting would have been no worse or better. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I have a buddy who just had his 4th one shipped to him! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> He keeps blowing them out too. He finally switched to the stock catback with electric cutout! Now when he hits that switch, his car sounds like a monster! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Pick up the Hooker!! For the price you payed for the Corsa you could grab the hooker and still have a nice chunk of change in your pocket to do other mods. Sorry to hear bout all the problems with the Corsa.

My LM had a 3 in over the axle and never made a sound.
