We need you to roll more of those Explorers out! My dealer hasn't got their Explorers because of some kind of third row seating hold that got them stuck and I guess they repair them outside in.

Also spread the word about the 3.5 Ecoboost in the Explorer. Why they didn't offer that motor is beyond me. I guessing they couldn't do the F150 and the Explorer at the same time because of production capacity.

Good to hear, Rt.....was the install fairly trouble free and I'll guess that it took about 2 hrs.

Install was trouble free. The hardest part was getting the old off and out of the mounts, it's all one piece. We were finished in about 1.5 hours. Here's a few pics of the parts:

Cool. Corsa looks like a nice piece. Did you cut the old one and take it home JIC or scrap it?

That piping looks noticeably larger in diameter and it's uniform unlike the OEM's that changes in D?
Are those tips as nice or nicer than OEM?

Nope! Had no way to get it home, so we scrapped it. The tips look much better than the stock and are slightly larger, 4". The pipes are much larger than stock. They almost look twice as large and without the 2nd muffler (cat?) at the fropnt of the pipe.

In the short timer I've driven the car since install, my butt-o-meter says it's seems to have more torque. It just wants to "GO!":omgsho:

This is another upgrade that I really thought long and hard about due to cost. But after getting this, credit card be damned, its was money well spent again.

That's the problem I have right now: to justify about $2000 (total) for the item including shipping and install.
You've made it sound well worth it tho. Thanks for all the info.

Too bad you couldn't take it home....

My G8 exhaust looks GRRRR8 on my garage wall! (Like a 3-d pix).

hahaha, I've collected one of a G35Coupe, (to Borla), and an IS-F ( also to Borla)....I'll probably keep mine if I go with the Corsa (cut it in half) but I'm running out of garage walls to hang 'em on........ I'll have to start hanging them from the ceiling.:p
