Corsa TI Cat-back Exhaust

[Major Tom]

I just had the Corsa TI (titanium) cat back "race" exhaust system installed yesterday. Oh my God!! Run (don't walk) to the phone and call Paul Santiago at Corsa Performance 800-486-0999. It's a race system, so it's loud during WOT, but at cruise it sounds quite refined. Of course, I have long-tube headers and no pre-cats, so my system might be louder than what you'll experience. However, it sounds great throughout the entire power band. I had a Borla XR1 Race System installed previously and the Corsa TI has it beat hands down. It's twice the money ($1,395) but worth every penny!

...just left a message on my answering machine that mine is built. I have to call him back. I can't wait.

I am going to try to dyno in the morning, have it installed then redyno in the afternoon. That way everyone will have some numbers to go by on a stock motor and induction system witn stock manifolds..

I have the same system on my 01, nice, but wife says it is too loud for her. Answer, set of the cans CORSA sells to add to the system and you can take them off and on! Best of both worlds and typical CORSA magic, no air passes thru the cans, just sound! It cancels the sound out and makes her quiet!
I too am interested in any dyno #s, another reason to get on this post, so I can see the replies. Thanks!

I am scheduled to dyno at 2:30 ET today. Of course, since my last dyno run, I added headers, took off the pre-cats, ported the throttle body and replaced my Borla XR1 Exhaust with with Corsa's titanium unit. Therefore, it won't be crystal clear how much gain is coming from the exhaust itself. However, it's running so well, I may not do any programming. I ran into a heavily modified Mustang last night, and he shut it down by the time I was in 2nd gear!

[Major Tom]

Well, life is good! My last dyno run was 349.7 rwh and 346.5 rwt. I'm now at 367.8 and 360.4 respectively. I think you'll really like the Corsa.

Is that all the nods together or a gain from the exhaust alone?

[Major Tom]

Since the 349.7 rwh dyno run, I've added headers, removed the pre-cats, ported the throttle body and changed exhaust systems. I did, however, have all the mods in place while I was running the Borla XR1 Exhaust. The bulk of my horsepower gains probably came from the headers, but the car runs much better with the Corsa system.

Got the Corsa TI with cans coming. I've got a base line on my car with only the Halltech Sidewinder. Sitting at 420hp. Will dyno when I receive and install the TI system.

Has someone had the corsa race T1 and then added the cans, if so does it make a difference in how loud it is or does it only reduce the resonance.

[Major Tom]

I had the Corsa TI Competition System and added the mufflers at the rear. What a difference! No reduction in horsepower at all. The sound at WOT is even better. However at cruising speeds, it is very refined, although somewhat louder than stock. IMHO it's the only way to go!

Can you guys post some pics of it on the car?
