Corsa to long tube question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I tried to search but couldn’t find a definitive answer.. I have a Corsa sport on my 1LE and it’s hooked up to my factory catless down pipes. NOW, installing long tubes with 3” connects.. Does anyone have a similar set up and did you have to make your own 3” 90’s to connect the long tubes to the Corsa or does Corsa have a set of 3” 90’s that they sell separate? How did you guys do yours is my question

Your car is catless from the factory?

I'm confused on the "90's" you're referencing though. Either way, the end of the cat(less) pipes of the longtubes are going to either slip fit over the start of the Corsa catback if you got a factory 2.5in connect, or it will butt into one another and you'll just have a band clamp over the point where they meet.

im not exactly understanding your question. Are you trying to turn your exhaust into a TRUE full 3" exhaust by removing the 3"-2.5" reduction that popular catback exhaust for these cars come with?

If so, just take it to any muffler shop. They charged me $45 to cut off out the "reducers" and weld a 3" pipe in order to make it true 3" all the way to the back.

I agree, this gets the job done. It is preferable that they will use stainless steel pipe for the connection and weld with SS Wire/Rod mig or tig. I had a hard time finding this at a shop so I am doing it myself. Def worth it though, shame to have 3inch exhaust and it be ruined that close to the cat(less) pipes/headers going down to 2.5
