I too had problems with the same bolt on the drivers side. I went and bought a set of the ratchet wrenches and had no problems after that.

For some reason after market exhaust just never fits as well as stock.

THey are great so far. I wish they were just a little louder at idle, but with the car being a Vert, I defintiely didnt want a lot of drone...its hard enough to yell at the kids in the back as it is!! LOL They definitley sound great under acceleration...but we all knew that already.

I know what you mean about getting the old one off. Had a time when I installed mine. Glad you like the sound and welcome to the "Corsa Crew!"

Did you feel anything from the seat dyno? that is the most expensive muffler and I heard you actually are suppose to gain like 11 horsepower.

To be honest it is hard for me to tell because I went from bone stock to CAI, SCT, tune, and exhaust all at once so the only way I could tellyou is if I went back in and took them off (and that aint happenin!! LOL) I can tell you that I have a TON more useable power now and it just plain sounds mean at full bark. But if I am idling or under 2500 - 3000 rpm you would have a hard time hearing it anymore than stock inside the car. My buddies say you can tell its not the stock exhaust from outside when its under load, but inside its not bad at all, even with the top down.

I was having a hard time bringing myself to spend the bucks, but then I remembered what I paid for all my motorcycle exhausts (well into the 800 dollar range every time) and suddenly it was an easier pill to swallow. THey are so overbuilt that I am betting they last a lifetime too.
