Page 58 of my Winter Moss Motors catalog shows a SIDO Side Exit exhaust from Corsa. Has anyone tried this exhaust?

 

RockPick,

He hasn't posted in quite a while, but I know that Screwdrive installed a Corsa system on his 2004 F150 and commented very favorably about it it in some email correspondence I had with him last year. It might be helpful if you email him to get his feedback. I think he installed his system in March or April of last year, so he's had it on for a while.

Good luck,

 

Thanks J&D... I hope his email is still current. His last logon was back in Oct.

If you can't get in touch with him, let me know and I'll give it a try.

Okay man... thanks a lot!

It bounced. Do you have a comcast.net email for him?

 

Yep, that's the one I had. I thought I had another one for him, but I haven't been able to find it. I'll keep looking. If I find a way to reach him, I'll ask him to contact you.

Thanks bud. I'm slowly ruling out the Corsa based on price alone... It's a nice set up but, I don't know that I see a value-added benefit by going with the priciest exhaust system...

In fact, the more I research, the more I am leaning towards Magnaflow.

The feature that Corsa has that is important to me is the lack of noise [drone] in the cabin [at least with my Vette]. The Flowmaster Series 50 that I put on my truck gives me a lot of drone in the cab.

 

Flowmaster is the drone King; it’s a hollow echo chamber. Magnaflow also is drone free

The Corsa look nice but that a lot of lettuces for a cat back

 

So how long does it take 402 stainless steel to rust out?

 

The first number is the amount of chromium that is contained in the stainless, i.e., 18 is 18% chromium. The second number is the amount of nickel, i.e., 8 stands for 8% nickel. So 18/8 means that this stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 18/10 is 18% chromium and 10% nickel. The higher the numbers the more corrosion resistant the material. 18/0 is a misleading designation. Both 18/8 and 18/10 contain nickel and are part of the grade family "300 series" stainless. 18/0 means that there is 18% chromium but zero nickel. When there is no nickel the stainless grade family is the "400 series". 400 series are not as corrosion resistant as the 300 series and are magnetic, where the 300 series are non-magnetic.

 

Hey Bob...

I just noted that I didn't thank you in my original response to your reply...

Thanks for the help!!

Thanks for the metalurgy lesson. So I quess that my 402 Flowmaster will rust out before a 304 stainless Corsa?

 

No thanks required - glad to be able to provide info.
