just wondering if any of my 2.2 brothern are running a corsa exhaust? i just ordered mine and i would like to get an idea of how well they increase performance and sound as well as install. i have never really worked on a car before but i am hoping being a bolt on system this should be enough to get me started on learning.

Sorry no help here, I just ordered the Pacesetter and its in the mail already thanks to TTR! You should probably expect to see anywhere from 5-9 hp increase I would think, that seems to be the common number amongst the aftermarket exhausts. Sorry I couldnt help more.

CobaltCowboy

i heard 15hp but i figured that to be b.s. especially running off one of our engines.

danklite

Ya 15 seems like alot, but hey who knows, maybe the corsa will REALLY like your car ha

Roadrunner

15hp is alot but corsa is probably the best out there so i wouldnt be too surprised

celicacobalt

maybe 15 at the crank could be what they are saying maybe more like 10 whp

CobaltCowboy

that would be nice

Are there any sound clips out there for the 2.2's on Corsa Touring/Sport systems? Originally, I've been thinking of going with Borla, but all that I've heard on this forum is 'Corsa is the best...' etc.

It seems from Gravana's website, that they boast about seeing 'up to 12hp' increase on Corsa, but I've never really gotten a straight answer about the gains from a Borla system.

Do you guys think it's worth it to go the extra 100$ and purchase Corsa over Borla? They both have the lifetime guarantee and such....

I've had both Borla and Corsa systems on my Corvette. I would take the Corsa any day of the week. Definitely worth the extra money for fit and quality and if I decide to change out the exhaust on my Cobalt, I'll get another Corsa system.

r@z0r

Damn you people! :-P Now I'm going to be saving that extra 100$ for the Touring system. Mainly cuz I've heard the Sport and it's a lil to raspy for me.

Sorry to jack the thread....

I have been in constant contact with Paul Santiago from Corsa and I intend to ask him just that very question. What kind of HP/TQ gains are acheived on the 2.2L Ecotec with a Corsa catback system. They provide an additional 12HP on the SS 2.0. I will post an answer as soon as I get one. I also would recomend a Injen CAI.

looking to go turbo in the future so a cai is just about out of the question for me. i am interested in what the gmpp header will do when combined with the corsa exhaust.

hondakiller

i got a dc sport catback on my car and i can definatly feel the difference in hp...and i sounds awesome

Are you talking about the "GMPP Extrude Honed Manifold"?? I'd also recommend checking out the header at http://scdyne.com.
I have an Injen CAI, will be putting on a Corsa catback, SCDyne Header and also adding the 2.2L Coil on Plug Conversion Kit from Nology with Silverstone plugs. That's a good start for me. I'm gonna keep my car N/A. I like to build raw power not a fan of F/I or cheater spray.

The Pacesetter header for the 2.2 is a great product also. We always recommend upgrading to the ceramic armor coated model. Just another option for a header.

CivicKiller98

yeah but it would really be nice if they made a 4-2-1, it seems like the only way i am going to get one is by getting it custom fabricated.

celicacobalt

if you are looking to go turbo in the futire you do know that any header you get will not be able to be used with a turbo since it will be replaced by an exhaust manifold right? also you can get a cai now if you choose to go with the garrett turbo kit since it retains the stock airbox

CobaltCowboy

thanks celica i was not aware of that fact. looks like i got some more researching to do.

celicacobalt

yeah, just plan your parts carefully so as to not waste money

BlackBalt

Is the pacesetter any good? It is very cheap which makes me skeptical of the quality, does anyone know how quiet/loud it is compared to stock?

There are a few post on the forum about the pacesetter exhaust.

Hello Scott,

I still have yet to hear from Marketing as to what the delay has been outside of formatting. We are working to release 19 new applications before Spring, and I suspect that is what is causing the postponement.

2.2L vehicles average an increase of 8-10 hp/ 7-9lbsft and 2.4L vehicles are seeing on average gain of 10-12hp/ 11-13lbsft over stock.
The 2.0L supercharged cars are 12-14hp/ 10-12lbsft.
Thank you.

OK, in the first part, he is talking about the release of the Corsa official sound clips that will be on the Corsa website. At least we have some official HP/TQ numbers for each engine application.

Hope this helps,

Scott
