Video is up- feel my pain with the vicious rattle I used to have with the Corsa mufflers!



The video doesn't capture how much Bass the Magnaflows have- it sounds really good. I got two compliments today from co-workers who asked me "Hey- did you do something else to your car? Sounds a lot better."

That sounds almost exactly like my Kooks/Full Magnaflow setup! I wonder how much the resonator really does?

Huge improvement.
Very Nice!!!

I doubt that would have woken up your son.
It's so mellow now.

In my book, mellow is good.
If I wanted a burly exhaust I'd have a ....
Wait, nevermind.

Yikes, that really was a death rattle. Would've bugged the hell outta me.

Kinda surprised, too. I guess the tone and character of any particular exhaust is mainly imparted by the mufflers. Does basically sound like the Magnaflows, now.


Your license plate LED is pooped. It's always the right one.

HOORAY FOR NO RATTLE!

While I like the new sound sans rattle. I would miss the Corsa Bark too much. I've got to get my cans swapped out.

I already fixed it, but thanks for noticing.

The "before" video was from a few months ago.

Re: Anyone had this happen with their KOOKS headers?

Yeah, that's what I figured.

Just bugs me that for all those who've done switched to LEDs, that right one always goes belly up. Bothersome, it is.

Re: Anyone had this happen with their KOOKS headers?

It was a strobe light for a few days before it totally pooped. The funny part was my neighbor (the Cop) was following me to golf one morning and pointed it out, otherwise I'd never have known.

Re: Anyone had this happen with their KOOKS headers?

I think your angle of filming picked up the sound better than my "straight behind the car" approach. Mine sounds basically identical to that in person- very nice.

Re: Anyone had this happen with their KOOKS headers?

Thanks Tony. I have had this exhaust for a while now and I still love it as much as the first day I started the car with it. I'm sure you will feel the same about yours.

Nothing like the sound of a throaty exhaust

Time to drive home with the Radio off

Re: Anyone had this happen with their KOOKS headers?

i got my new left can from corsa, put it on... i can say that the sound from the new can is crisp, however.... there is still rattle, not as much, maybe the other can needs to be replaced also?????? i took VID, but my laptop is a real piece and my dv ripper corrupted, can't transfer it from my camcorder to my laptop.... i'll try to figure something out and post it asap... depressed mine isn't fixed... i'll be on the phone with Corsa tomorrow
