Matjow: I heard from another SSR Fanatic just today that the current 05 offering, just released, will NOT work with a 6-speed 05, because of fit or some other reason. True?

I Own A Corsa Touring
Yes, I'm still lurking a bit. No, I do not have an SSR, just the motor.
But I do have a Corsa Touring edition single side exit.
I am the most picky person I know when it comes to in cab exhaust resonance. I will not have it!
I would not have the Corsa had I not seen it on an 04 truck in the dealership showroom. They dressed up a new truck with 20" wheels and a Corsa Touring. I got a demo ride and was sold. You just do not hear it unless it is laboring or when you stand on it and then it is tolerable. The sound when under a heavy foot is unique to any I have ever heard. A hyper, throaty roar. I love it. While there I did hear a Sport dual rear exit and it was totally different. A raspy sound I did not care for. The Touring flows the same. It has additional perforation and packing. A material that will not show signs of deterioration for 300K miles. The same material in the Cadillac CTX exhausts.
As for true duals, they are not the optimum. A cross over pipe has to be involved for balance to get the best from it so it is not really true duals.
The Corsa muffler is a straight through design with sound porting. You can roll a tennis ball through it. It really flows very well. The pipes are quality bent and big.
Since the install I have noticed no change in MPG under normal driving habits. I have noticed the power pulls better from mid to upper range rpms.

The 05 trucks have more torque management then ever before. This will change very shortly for me.
I have the 310HP L33 H.O. 5.3. It is supposed to be the early SSR motor. Questions on this engine is what brought me to this site.
With a K&N drop in element and the Corsa she pulled 267 HP & 288 TQ on a Dyno-Jet dynamometer in Marietta GA last month. This was a Base run before installing an intercooled Magnacharger Radix blower. It is being done as I type. I get the truck back Saturday. You guys contemplating a Radix may want to check back and see the final run results. Magnuson claims a 120HP gain. I say 90. We will see.
I can post it when done if you like.
See my dyno chart below. It will be updated within a week from monday 7/11/05.

I am certain that all of us will appreciate your posting the after Magnuson Dyno Chart. Thanks very much for sharing the before chart.
My Best,
Rob
It has arrived!
My new, re-designed Corsa cat-back system arrived by UPS yesterday. I was going to put it in today, but the OEM system is all welded into one solid piece. So, I'll have to pick-up a chain style pipe cutter today and install the Corsa system tomorrow. :seeya
