u cannot get a road legal race can, i worked in M+ps for like 3years... u either get a road or a race can... u cannot get a "road legal race can"
race cans have a straight thro system with a much higher dB rating and less restrictive hense more power....
therefore i cannot see how an illegal can for a bike wood b legal 4 a car...
think about it.... btw race cans r cheaper than road cans because they dnt have all the shit in the middle....
btw... if ur gonna mount the can the surely ud have to do it side on so that every1 can c it.. otherwise i c no point in buying it... micron make a zillon diff coloured ones but are quite expensive... art are cheaper and do plenty of colours but are again not sold for road use...also... have u thought that the attatchment for a motorbike can is FCUKIN HUGE... ur lookin bout 3-5 inches easy... so matchin that up 2 a 11/2 - 2 inch pipe on the corsa is gonna b a bitch
if u wont i cud prop get hold of the dimensions of the downsizing pipes depending on the can ur after

Ive been looking at gettin two micron exhausts for a bargain price but how big would they be down the side of the car and also how would they fit onto the original pipe work?!? Would want 1 either side

wont be that loud unless u bin the centre silencer and cat though. changing back box doesnt make much difference too noise compared to a full system.
