Talking Corsa + CAI = Oh, THERE'S the muscle car I bought!!

Seems like the Corsa by itself was not quite what I was looking for. Adding the Cold Air Inductions seemed to wake the whole thing up. Has a really nice growl to it, now. Hard to keep the foot off the gas pedal. Seat of the pants, feeling a noticeable difference in acceleration. Even after hard acceleration frequently, noticed the MPG has not even dropped down. Little plug for the Elite CC....found it easy to install and fits perfectly. Hopefully it will do a good job protecting the engine. Installed it with around 890 miles on the odo, hopefully any damage was minimal. I did not accelerate very much until was able to get the CC on. Really liking this car now!

Congrats! I'd love to hear some video of your setup. Did you do the cat-back or axle-back Corsa's?

Yep...a good breathing intake and exhaust are a great combo to ratchet up the fun factor!

I have Corsa catback and CAI intake. I am pretty happy with that $1,600 mod.

Thanks, man....did the cat-back (p# 14953). Not sure if I possess a good quality video recorder. Will have to experiment with my camera, possibly.

Yeah, it was ridiculous expensive (you're right). At this point though, am done with engine. Your rims are awesome BTW.

Talk about expensive. I have a CAI- CAI, Corsa catback and ARH LT headers w/ HF cats and a dyno tune. Total: $3,300. Can't beat Corsa and ARH quality.
