Does anyone know what the status of the Corsa exhaust is? I see they are for sale on UUC's website, but has anyone actually gotten one for any vendor yet? I've tried searching with no luck.
On the 15th (supposedly when the exhaust is in UUC's possession), I will be ordering it locally thru my local shop thru UUC. I will be doing a pre and post dyno run. I've heard rumors of massive sec 1+2+3 losses (>25 whp). I'm not so worried since I am only doing sec 3, but will dyno nonetheless.
Corsa has been communicative with me up unitl I asked for pics of the exhaust itself (2 cans or 4?? They don't even have a pic of it!) and I asked them about any losses. I told them I was going to pre/post dyno and share results. I also asked about their guarantee... will they take it back if I am losing HP?) I have heard nothing back... but I'm still going to gamble.... I like the no-drone guarantee and the F1-type sound above what seems to be 6000 rpm from the 2 vids laying around youtube.

Excellent. Do you know if UUC is going to be getting a couple in stock right away?

Yes, please let us know what your results are. For the price, you can't beat it. There's usually no real gains in just cans, but please let us know. Thanks!!

Mike,
Look at the top right of the Install sheet It says Twin 3.0.
Is this a mistake or are they really 3.0 instead of 3.5 what they should be.
The sound from what can hear from clips is great but the tips I'm concerned about. I feel that outer polished diameter of the tips should have been longer so that they go under the valance further.
As far as power loss let's hope they did there homework and at minimun don't loose power.
We are all waiting for your input, pics and sound clips.
Fellas, I will have the pixs and the clips of the exhaust on my beast for you guys next week! Or you guys can come meet me at the BBQ this Sunday @ Wheel Power!

Hey Mandisa,
I wanna go to the wheel power event just so that I can see yours in person... too bad I can't make it... Can you please tell us if the tips are indeed 3.5" each? Can't wait for your pics and clips.
You probably did not get a chance to dyno yet, but how does your butt feel? (hey, butt dyno is better than no dyno for now)

Yea...bro, it will be nice if we can meet in person. The tips are 3.5" and I will try to get some good shot for you next week after I have it dyno as well.
Pixs & Clips will be post soon
