Corsa Problems....

well i got a ticket a while back for my duals being illegal and too loud. I order a Corsa catback the next day.

Install was great, everything fit, all the parts came, and the finish looked sweeeet.

Ive put about 35 miles on the car, since the catback. i started it today and i heard a bad rattling sound. It kinda just came outta nowhere.

Ive heard a thing or two about corsa's mufflers that rattle, but this was like my 3rd day driving it !

im not sure what to do, i was looking at other catbacks (i miss my duals

) , but the corsa sounded pretty sweet with my setup.

Do you think if i got another one, it would last longer? Or do you think i should switch to a new exhaust? Corsa said they would ship me a new one with my warrenty. I've heard of guys going through 2 and 3 corsa mufflers though.

I'm stuck right in the middle! help me guys

Re: Corsa Problems....

It sounds like maybe you are still going thru the first few heat cycles on your setup. I would not be so quick to judge. I would allow for a least a few cycles of heat/cool/tighten/adjust before I would pass final judgement on the setup. Have you gotten underneath and looked for the source of the sound?

Are you sure it's not rubbing anywhere? Sounds fishy.....

Call Corsa and ask for Jim Browning. Corsa has wonderful customer service.

Yeha ok. I bought a systam that had maybe 50 miles on it (no carbon at all). The guy was older and thought it was too loud. I have his reciept and they told me it would cost me $210 plus shipping and there was no second owner warranty. Come on this was brand new when I got it.
And yes my muffler did this as well.
