Well, finally got around to installing it today.
Taking the stock exhaust out was a royal PITA and I ended up cutting it with a sawzall half-way into the project. Between the ramps and the jack, just couldn't get it to squeeze out so said F-IT and sawed it. 5 minutes later it was out.
Putting the Corsa in was like a plan coming together. So straigtforward and easy that I really tip my hat to them for putting out a quality product. Well diagramed instructions and all the pieces.
Just an FYI for anyone that plans to install one of these. Get yourself a 15MM DEEP socket and either a rachet with a swivel head or a breaker bar like this one :
It will make part of the job much easier.
Now, impressions after the install. Frankly, I think it RULEZ. Sounds throaty at idle and acceleration and smooth as silk just cruizing. Took it out for a ride with the sunroof open and was able to talk on the cell phone and not even notice it wasn't stock. From 45MPH up to 80MPH, there is little to no cabin drone.
To sum it up, I give it 5-Stars.
