Default Custom Corsa exhaust...installed!

Well finally got around to making this happen & no I didnt cut the secondary cats, im fairly happy with the sound of it the way it is so they will probably stay on. Ive had a number of vehicles with Corsa exhaust systems & really do love the distinct tone, the NO DRONE & the air ripping sound. I found a catback of a late model 5.0 mustang(easiest to hack up) & took it to a exhaust shop ive been going to for the past 10yrs almost, very legit business & quality work. Heres a few pics in the process, I didnt get a finished pic, I was starving half way through so went to grab a bite & they were done with the car, off the lift when I got back.

Heres the hack kit...


Stocker 2-1-2 junk...


as Kenny Powers would say, your fkn outtttt...


fitting, bending, welding...


half way there...


& thats as far as I got, my stomach could take no more lol...again ill get a sound clip posted soon

No, didnt dyno it...im happy with the power output as it is, I did it just to hear the motor honesty. I dont think ive turned the radio on but once since monday morning. It sounded like a big dog with a little bark, now ive released the beast!!!(and gone thru 1 tank of gas in 2 days lol)

would love to hear how this setup sounds. i'm w/ OP, tho. i'm satisfied w/ the power, just want more sound from the exhaust as well. so, i'd be satisfied if i didn't lose any power but gained some grunt.

Back on topic. We have other members who have done similar exhaust projects and they've all gained power. To some, power is just a bonus to the sound they are after. I appreciate this type of thread and hope to see you post more photos and impressions of your project here.

I'm not a fan of those exhaust tips, but it's an interesting custom exhaust. I do like the sound and there was no drone at all. Nice job.
