Those look pretty good but I don't care for cats, don't want them. Or are they just simulated and not real? Also, what diameter is the y pipe tubing?

You seem to have some good fab skills. thought of making your own 1 7/8? since only thing for trucks are 1 3/4. Dunno if it would really help much. But hey just a thought.

You still going to run pump gas with 11.7:1 comp?

Not going to take the time to make some headers. I'm going back NA to get away from working on it so much.

yeah, it will be on 93 octane. More compression has been run on pump gas than 11.7. i know i've seen people on tech with 12.0 and more.

Thanks but i'm not sorry. I've never been so happy to have a NA motor. I have been having a hard time dealing with "giving up" so to speak but i'm over it now. I've always been an all motor guy and never ran no2. Going back to my roots and what I love, a well tuned straight shift NA car/truck.

I may have to do some rethinking on my comp. and cam combo. What i've spec'd comes out to a 9.24 DCR

They are resonators NOT cats, so they should make the corsa sound the way you want it to. Dont know on the y-pipe diameter, should be just fine though, you could always get some stainless cutouts to replace the resonators with and run a y like mine with some e-cutouts on it. It looks like 2.5". Here is the link to the thread if you get board at work, you can read through the long *** ****.
