I haven't seen kitw post in months, I don't even know if he is still on the forums.

Only drawback I found is that it has no flanges to attach to the rear cross-member. Otherwise, the x section appears to be very well executed IMO. I considered the Gintani as well but decided this design looks more effective. Of course this is just being knit picky because I'm NA, so the performance difference to a x in the stock location is probably negligible. But hey, that's why we drive M cars right!

Kit sold me on the Corsa, I was narrowed down to it and the MPE and pm'd him a couple of weeks ago for thoughts on the two since he had owned both and he responded pretty quickly.

I do not want software as I'm under warranty. The day I get software it will surely be ESS The jury is still out on the Etronic. There is a very slight volume difference in 'open' vs 'closed'... as you can imagine, people do not get Valvetronic exhausts to not notice volume differences in both modes. I hope with the HFC Xpipe I finally get one mode to be 'loud' and the other to be 'sport'... we shall see... |

thanks for the nice write up. Sound is very refined I think you achieved the sound you were looking for without being too loud. Can't believe you had 6 m3s in the past lol

Did the back end of your ESS x-pipe have a male or female connector? Unlike the OEM and Velaforza midpipes I've had, my ESS X-pipe that was recently delivered came with a female rear end. That doesn't connect well with the female front end of the Corsa pipe I also recently got. It's bizarre. I read from someone else that his ESS X-pipe ends with the correct male end. |

With my OEM xpipe I had zero issues installing the Evolve catback. Then a year later I installed the ESS xpipe and it mated perfectly with the Evolve catback, so they all seem to be compatible |

Great write-up, I had the cross on my car because of kitw, it's an amazing exhaust. I also came back from the f80 for the exhaust same reasons kitw mentions, could not have said it better myself.

I hope it's not against the rules to dig up a two year old thread, but this thread is what pushed me to get the Corsa exhaust and a new X-pipe for my E92 M3 and I finally had it all installed. I couldn't get the ESS X-pipe because apparently they don't make it with HFC anymore, so I got a similar one from AFE and ordered it from EAS (EAS rocks!). It's got HFC and resonators, so pretty similar to the ESS one.
Sound is just magical. It's civil and exotic around town, with a serious scream when you get on the gas and wind it up into the RPMs. I really need to get a video going, but the in-car ones I did really suck. Need to figure out a way, but anyway I highly recommend the Corsa for anyone that's looking for less rumble and rasp and more of that exotic higher-pitched sound. Next to my friend's E92 with the Borla ATAK, they don't even sound like the same care, not even remotely. His is setting off car alarms at idle and low RPM and mine sound like a purring V12 lol. -Collin- |

Still loving the sound - it's just magical. I need to get a video and sorry for the delay on that. It seriously puts a smile on my face every time I go for a drive. Only downside (or upside) is that every jack a** wants to race me at every stop light with it LOL Oh, and the tune to delete the cold start makes the car actually usable in the morning when my 1.5 year old son is sleeping :-) -Collin- |

Bumping an old thread!
I'm in the market for the Corsa after watching this video. A bunch of questions - 1. Can a shop cut off the exhaust tips without removing the exhaust from the car, once its installed? And any recommended tips? I'm going to order with black tips - fingers crossed they look good enough. 2. What X-Pipe to pair with the Corsa? the ESS pipe in this thread is not longer for sale. So do I look for an HFC plus resonators? Cannot wait to get this setup. Wish the Corsa cans and tips were not so ugly though.. adds even more work to getting an exhaust setup Thanks in advance.
