Regarding the connection between the cat pipe and Corsa pipe, they expect you to use the stock clamp, which is a good clamp and is mostly sealed, but there is just too much gap between the two pipes. My 2014 Camaro with the same headers and catback just worked itself loose at this junction last night and I think I’m going to go your route for the fix.
sorry to hear that with your issue. this way has been working good since install. no adjustments or anything needed. car was even driven to NH from FL.
O’reilly sells a 2.5” OD - 2.5” ID adapter that’s roughly ~6” in length, which should fit perfectly. I ended up using u-clamps on the pipe extensions. The heat cycling on the new pipe extensions did cause the metal to warp a bit, so I had to re-tighten the clamps after, just to properly seal everything together and prevent leaks.
@@isnowyazn that’s actually a good solution if you want to avoid cutting and welding (which I do). Only thing I would add is to treat the adapter pipe with some kind of heat resistant paint since it is not stainless. Good idea for sure.
I was considering in going the cheaper route and doing full speed engineering headers and true duals. But man that TSP and Corsa combo sounds mean. It's making me reconsider.
@@omygunny4978 yeah might be better to go with them. or find someone who has installed them and see their thoughts on the system. would deff still go with the corsa sport mufflers though.
New sub here and also in FL area. Been having problems finding a good tuner here. Any suggestion? I know this post is old. But hopefully get a response/ reply.
Not necessarily, since the EPA doesn’t allow for emissions tampering anymore. All tuning software is now locked out, unless you somehow get some pricey standalone ECU setup, which you’r have to find a private, custom tuner for that stuff as well… Nothing wrong with running catless long tubes untuned or leaving the car tuned, but with the O2 CEL on, due to the cat delete. It shouldn’t affect anything specific, other than the annoying CEL, really. There are ways around it, such as O2 sensor non-foulers and “simulators”. Most tuners will only tune with cats in or with no active O2 CEL (assumption of having no cats). And then again, they can probably only do so much, with the new emissions restrictions in place….
No. The CEL will detune the car bigtime since as ecm will always refer to the low octane base table for timing advance. Plus the COT enrichment NEEDS to be disabled or at least adjusted to match your PE enrichment or raise the temp thresholds the max. The list goes on. Find a good tuner and do it right. @@isnowyazn
@@jimmyfreeze3782 But like I said, without a standalone unit, how are you going to tune that out? Is there something possible to do, even with the O2 sensor CEL on? Most of the handheld tuning platforms have all force updated their software. And as far as I’m concerned, most GM handheld flash tuners don’t even come with the ability to turn off/alter emissions. That’s definitely not doable by any means, as far as non-standalone ECU tuning options… Plus, wouldn’t the tuner just refuse to tune for you at that point, esp if you’re e-tuning, since it’s assumed that you don’t have cats (catless) or are running something not too emissions friendly (sub-200 cell high flow cats)? People like Jannetty Racing and DiabLew that I used to go to for online tuning back in the day, have restricted their tuning basis so far, there’s pretty much almost nothing I can do. Like I said, I can either get a setup that will “fool” the O2 CEL, or I can stick to my stock two-piece exhaust manifold, or somehow keep a high flow catted downpipe that won’t trip the O2 sensor CEL’s.
As far as the camaro in this video, turning off/altering emissions to get rid of the downstream o2 CEL is not needed. Cats were installed, just add bungs after the cats and put the sensors back in...I'm surprised that wasn't done when the 3" was welded. From this point, proper tuning can be done for about the same cost as a handheld generic tuner. Weld another bung near one of the upstream o2 sensors and install a good wideband sensor...AEM is good. Next, get a HP Tuners MPVI3 and find a good tuner or download the software and tune it yourself. If the car is offroad only, HP Tuners does allow tuning for emissions, but ONLY for race/off road applications. @@isnowyazn
I have the same set up but with cat less will the connections also be a problem ? Has been worrying me for a while Now and my exhaust finally gets here tomorrow and was hopping to get everything set up but am unsure how they’d hook up to one another. TSP 1 7/8 headers off-road connections into the corsa ZL1 exhaust
@@southfloridagearheads6504 yea I just have the headers and off road connections they didn’t match up, same thing. 2.5 to a 2.5. Any other ideas besides cutting the system ?
@@southfloridagearheads6504 I got the ZL1 Quad exhaust from corsa and I have TSP headers with off road connections, they are both not currently installed, I just had them payed out to see if they’d bolt right up to one anothe. Essentially the same thing had happened where they both bottle neck down to a 2.5. Corsa slims down to a 2.5 to match stock exhaust, but my headers I have here have their connection pipes slim down from the collector to 2.5.
Corsa is just a charm. Complements old school muscle sound!
couldnt agree more!

Impressive. That step down definitely would’ve been restrictive. Night and day difference with the new setup. Sounds much meaner
you are right about that!
Awesome video! Made me make up my mind on what exhaust setup to go with
Looks and sounds great. ...honestly stock sounded pretty good too.

I've heard the speed engineering headers are better fitting and higher quality then Texas speed.
@@southfloridagearheads6504 I've heard the TSP hang lower to the ground vs SE so you might have a point.
@@omygunny4978 yeah might be better to go with them. or find someone who has installed them and see their thoughts on the system. would deff still go with the corsa sport mufflers though.
Man that’s a clean 5th gen!
NICE love the sound. But did you have to get it tuned right away or can i run it for a month or so before i can get it tuned ? Thanks in advanced
it will be fine. you will have a cel for the rear o2 sensors. i also wouldn't go wide open throttle.
@@southfloridagearheads6504 thanks man I appreciate it
Need more vids of the Z06! :)
Did you have to remove steering shaft under hood to install headers? Or they slip right in from underneath?
no, they just slide right in
Thanks amigo!

contact DSMLights on Instagram. he tunes a lot of cars down in Miami.
How can this be a corsa sport exhaust if it’s a 3in exhaust? Corsa extreme is the only exhaust for the Camaro that comes in 3in. I’m very confused.
not sure, quite possible it was shipped wrong and it's actually the extreme?
Its a ZL1 kit
Doesn’t it need a tune too
yeah it was tuned.

I wonder if this would fit a 2013 camaro rs
This is for the v8 motor, the rs is a v6
What are the upgrades done to this? And how much did this exhaust cost
Just the exhaust we installed in the video and a rotofab intake. exhaust is around 3k headers, cats, pipe and mufflers.
Where did u order that at
Texas Speed
How much for all the pipes said and done?
parts are about 2k
Would've loved to hear this without cats man
How long was the install time?
If you didn't have to cut and weld and bought the correct kit should be able to do this in 3-4 hours id say.
@@southfloridagearheads6504what would be the correct kit? Tsp long tube headers and which corsa exhaust would mate up, without custom welds and stuff?
