Re: Exhaust Resonator Question
 
Not sure how pertinent this is to this discussion, but I'll share: We discovered my original exhaust (67k miles) was extremely restrictive, like maybe clogged cats or something. My HP was a bit below expected on the dyno (even after a Haibeck chip), making it an easier decision to update to headers and a new system. It's nice now - power-wise and sound.

the stock 2 3/4 exh with a nice x pipe and magnaflow stainless muffs makes a very nice budget system that has great fitment

also nice is to install the c6 exh tips with the flapper

best of both worlds, quiet when needed for long drives

and aggressive "on demand" with the right setup or a simple on/off if desired

2 3/4 pipes are high quality and kinda too good to throw away.

they will likely support enough flow for a very aggressive build and save a few $$ for the rest of the needed mods.

If I go the Corsa route, should I just use the resonator or the entire system, including exhaust? I've PM'd Lee to see if his Corsa system is still available.

I bought corsa and really like it. I wish Lee was selling his 3 months ago when I bought mine

i cobbled up my flowmaster system and got rid of that power robbing resonator and felt more power but the drone was completely ridiculous and unbearable. i recently bought a new corsa that was installed in my car and i hope to hear it in the near future. corsa is the best exhaust because it gets rid of drone and has a complete flow thru design that does not rob horsepower.

Seems simplest to go with an entire system as you will know everything will fit together without any extra effort. Corse is a good system. I had one on my cars most of the time I owned them until I finally switched to stock with cutouts. --Bob
