excuse my ignorance, but what makes Corsa's so special?

I've seen a similar thread on M5board, so seeing this here makes me wonder.

thanks.

The allure of Corsas is that they sound extremely sexy and I'm pretty sure no other E55 has them.

The other thing that makes them so special is that they only make one dimension muffler for their universal offerings. It takes a lot of man hours and skill to get those damn things to work and fit right.

The owner got to hear it as did about a half dozen of other customers this weekend and everyone of them had one of this amazed smiles on their face after hearing it.


As a FYI they will not fit on a SL55, we tried.

How bad is that 90 degree corner at the tips going to impede flow?

well, nobody said it couldn't be done...I beta tested their mufflers on my e55 over a year ago. they should have a product specifically designed for our cars in due time.

The farther the restriction from the head, the less impact it has on flow. I wouldn't worry about it, IMO.

It's actually straight through to the First tip. It was put in to make both tips functional. When its cold out you want some steam coming out of both, not just one, it looks too poser.

It's done and sounds good. I've got a nice vid on my phone but can't figure out how to get it off.

Here are some installed pics.

awesome and great work. I was there with my SL55 (and they don't work as we looked at my car and it just doesn't ) But I remember when they 1st started it out and it looked to be quite the project, so I have no doubt that MANY MANY man hours went into this.
