Default Need a place to install my corsa sat night in Houston

If it comes in Friday night Ill be headed down to Houston to hang out with some friends and pick up my corsa exhaust for the new truck from the speed shop and hopefully put it on if someone has a place that I can use to do it. Ill bring some beer and food.

Yeah Clear Lake Speed, they were the only ones who could get ahold of the kit with the downpipe cat delete and not have to order it, and they were 200 cheaper then anywhere else I could find. I know everyone bitches about how much a corsa is for a gas motor, try 1100 bucks for a duramax turbo back exhaust and thats finding a damn good deal on it most places are around 1300 to your door.


It all also depends on what time I get off, if I get off too late Ill just put it on sunday morning since I have to go out for a bday party saturday night at 8.

Honestly I was a **** hair away from buying a 5" MBRP exhaust but I read where people had some resonance at 55mph and I want NO resonance. On my Z71 I probably spent 2500-3000 on just the exhaust changing setups until I finally ended up with the corsa. So I figured I would go ahead and pony up and buy it first and get it over with, and just be done with it. I knwo Ill never have to replace it and I love how they sound on a diesel. And best of all no resonance what so ever, this truck will be used for long road trips so I need peace and quiet in the cab.

I dont blame you...
It for sure is worth every penny...
My wife, can attest to this..
You can remember how the black truck was.. loud as hell..
She started to get pissy when I told I was getting an exhuast system for the Z..
but after I installed it, and she road in it.. she was happy about it..
Hell You can't really here it inside unless you get on it..
otherwise I hear the tires rolling over the pavement more than I hear the exhaust...
If I buy another Catback it will be Corsa!!!
