Need advice on Corsa exhaust install

[PureEnjoyment]

Fellow Modders,

I needed some install advice for my recently purchased Corsa exhaust system. Unfortunately I do not have the capabilities (nor the knowledge) to do the install myself and needed some advice of where I could take my car to get the install done for me. I live in the metro detroit area, but do not really know of a high quality shops to get this done at. I really dont know if I should just trust any old muffler shop/chain to do this . Help!!

Any input would be greatly appreciated and if there are any Detroit'ers out there that know of a reputable shop please do tell.

thanks guys!!

Hi there I not from Detroit area but I installed them myself with a set of Rhino ramps from Wal-Mart.
Did it in my garage, about 1 hour work.
I installed a set of magnaflows, did not like them and 1 week later did it again with a set of Corsa's
It is really easy.
If not I would look for maybe a performance shop or a reliable muffler/exhaust shop in your local area.
Good luck
Gary

The stock exhaust is not the easiest but with the help of a friend it should be a piece of cake. lube the rubber hangers or unbolt them from the car.

Little tricky!
The left side is a short piece but the right hand side was one long piece!
I was never going to put it back on and don’t have the room to store it so I used a sawsaw and cut it in pieces.
Removal was very easy after that.
Don’t do it if you’re not sure you can do it! ( Need torque wrench also)
Let is know what you end up doing and if you like your new sound!

Would some muffler shop such as Midas do an install like this or do you usually have to buy the muffler from them before they install? any thoughts?Yes I know i'm .....lol....sorry guys, I'm still new to these types of car modifications. I never had the chance to learn this stuff growin up so now is better than never I guess.

I Sure Midas will do the install for you!
No warranty on system because it's yours.
Just call and ask for a price.
Maybe some other members can tell you what a reasonable charge should be to do this
And never be sorry to ask questions! That’s how you learn about stuff.
I asked them all the time and there are members with 3000+ post who still ask questions . You learn every day
Good luck Gary
