So I'm finally getting rid of the corsa sport that gave me so many problems and getting a corsa d. Its only a 1.2 but is yellow with a vxr kit, haven't told many people but I had to tell corsasport! The one thing I'll miss about the sport is the loud rasp, so I decided I'll need a loud exhaust for the corsa d. Where is the best place to buy one from?

Probs get some no-make system on ebay with a huge jap can that should make it rasp.
If not, try a local custom place (if you have one).

Piper cat back is the best one to get, actually sounds lovely and still looks OEM

Are these the limited edition 1s?? Seen a cpl in that yellow colour with the black 17s and they look pretty decent.
When you say VXR kit, do you mean the proper VXR kit, or that stupidly named VXR "styling" kit.

Yeah I love a loud exhaust no matter how fast or slow my car is.. Its not always about speed (most of the time, but not always ) I'll put decent pictures up when I've collected it.. Yeah its the limited edition ones with the black alloys, I like the yellow. Stands out a bit, there's heapsof the white ones arround now, they're just common as muck. Where's the best place to get one of these vxr kits or a piper cat back from?

i payed about 250 for full system with silancer but that was for a sport and life time warranty comes in handy cos i snaped mine on a speed bump and they replaced it

How much do you expect an exhaust to be?

when you also work it out with wear and everything els on an aftermarket exaust and how easy they rust you will be saving money in the long run

Piper is the best you can buy off the self... i went for a custom cat back system in the end didn't want to much noise with it being a work horse... benefits to yourself it would cost a lot less

Check out the corsa d forum, a guy on there is doing backboxes. Personally wouldnt put a louder exhaust on it though to draw attention to your 75bhp.
Cool wee cars though, mine is still being built.
