Putting on Corsa next week any tips to make it easier?

Were there any tips to keep the install going as smooth as possible?

Here is the previous post about it.

Didn't go on as smoothly as 1200 bucks would have imagined it to do, but on the bright side the factory came off all in one piece.

PROS:
Zero drone
better sound, the voice of effortless sophistication
stainless steel quality that would make a T-1000 Terminater envious
look.....4" cans are the equivalent of DD boobies...they look NICE

CONS:
Would have liked just a bit more noise (but pipes aren't broken in yet, it may get louder)
Could have been lighter
Could have lined up better
$$$$$
Should have been 4.5" DDD boobies

In all it took about 2 hours to carefully install.
I would buy it again.

Looks like the pros outweighed the cons.  Glad you are happy with it.

A Lift.. Lol.. About as easy as any other bolt on.. And I can testify that they so get louder.. 3k on mine and they are plenty loud IMO.. I recommend down pipes with these as well.. They just scream!

Where did you get it for $1200?  Lowest I'm seeing is for $1285 on Amazon Prime.

I might pull the trigger in the next week.  I really want the Corsa after listening to all of the videos on Youtube.  Down pipes and a tune will come in 6 months.

Honestly have them on my vehicle since 1/14 and is the best exhaust out there when it comes to quality and sound with ZERO DRONE,Install is a challenge if you dont have a lift,make sure to have a good rubber mallet,other wise take it to the shop 1 hour labor tops,another issue is save your self a trip and dont put them on without the DP from 4DRHTRD,good quality and excellent customer service,just my 2 cent,good luck.

Not a bad idea.  Maybe I'll save up $2K for Down Pipes+Corsa+Install.  Already got the $60 3bar sitting in my glovebox, lol.  Then just need a $400 tune and should be a different animal!

Just want to put 6k miles on her before I mess around and potentially void the warranty for the big stuff.

I'm looking at Corsa too.... Lots of comments on sound level.  Corsa currently makes 3 sound levels of cat back for the SHO..... Which version are you guys running.  TIA

There are two options for the SHO...polished tips or black tips:

Other cars, like the Corvette, have a couple different versions.  Just one version for the SHO, at least from what I have seen...

True on the tips...and I love the black chrome!

Here's what th Corsa website says about sound levels available:

CORSA offers 3 levels of sound: Xtreme - their loudest offering for those who want the loudest badest sounding system out their with an aggressive tone, CORSA'a Sport systems for their mid sound level is a great alternative for customers who want an aggressive sounding unique exhaust but who do not necessarily want to hear it all the time. The sport option is a good option for mildly modified vehicles and for comfortable highway cruising, CORSA's Touring exhaust is their quietest system for those with highly modified engines or those who wish to only have a slightly louder tone then stock. No matter your sound preference CORSA and LMPerformance has your covered.

This is what I was asking about... Sorry I wasn't more clear.

[PokerMunkee]

Yeah,  other cars have more options.  Plug in a 2013 Corvette on their website and you'll see the different versions.   The SHO only has one option, the Sport.
