  1. Sounds great, in fact I want it even more rough. Wish it was more like an old school 350 with a cam and 4 barrel Holley. Never towed anything yet. Was going to this week but only a 22ft flat bed trailer to pick up 20' sticks of steel. This is my third corsa system all in trucks. Can't go wrong if you ask me. I really don't know what the dreaded drone sound is that members speak of. I changed my exhaust after 2 weeks of having the truck so maybe I missed it during that time. I think headers and a y-pipe will come later.
  2. I wouldnt have thought any less.... and that's probably not even painted as well. Check out gmpartsdirect or other gm part places. The part number for an Elevation, probably all models with dual exhaust is 84574365 Rear Bumper Cover Primed $443. That's a start, but then you'll have to buy the tips which are roughly $90 a piece, then have to have the exhaust welded into the tips which will require a stainless welder, and I'm not even sure those tips are stainless too. That's a lot of bending and sheetmetal work which I didn't want to hassle with even though i could do it. The cost of the cover and painting it wasn't worth the hassle to me. I used the money to pick up some lights for the front and lift kit, etc.... there's another thread here i just saw of a member posting his corsa rear system with a video and sound. Mine sounds exactly like that. No regrets at all. Next I'm cutting out that flattened pipe under the transmission and welding in a straight one. I've got the time that's for sure.
  3. Sorry I think my pictures are too big to upload. I hit the limit. PM me and I can send more. My truck doesn't have the parking sensors and I don't have any wiring above the exhaust. I'm not sure I'd it made a difference or not but I installed the factory GM 2" lift kit also.
  4. Did the dealer say why it wouldn't work? Length of bed? Crew cab or double cab? I have a double cab with a standard bed. They may also be saying it doesn't work because your rear bumper isn't configured for it. I took the chance with the dual rear knowing I was going to fabricate my own hangers so I could drop the exhaust lower than my bumper. If you know someone who can help you do that or if you're in Vegas I can help you out. Go with dual rear, you won't regret it.
  5. I did it about 1 month ago. I ordered a corsa 21028 cat back kit, which at the time I purchased they had a $125 rebate so it was free shipping and a rebate. The dual corsa system matches up with the frame but I had to weld up my own exhaust hangers for the rear exits. The truck is also missing the driver's side heat shield for the spare tire but I opted to use titanium exhaust wrap off amazon which is far cheaper than the stock heat shield. The rear bumper actually has the cutouts for the chrome tips on true dual exhaust trucks but you would have to change out the bumper cover I believe and buy tips as well. The corsa system exits as a slight down angle so I felt that enough to clear the bumper and exit nicely. No need for tips, forcing my wallet to diet was taking its toll....you'll need 1/2 exhaust hangers which I got off ebay and the rubber exhaust hanger itself also off ebay. Overall it turned out great, sounds great, with the GM cold air intake and thier recalibration, I swear the truck is a whole different animal now.
