: Heres an idea for our exhaust!!
G8CrEppER 09-05-2009, 03:37 PM well ive been researching for quite a while for an exhaust set up for our g8 v6 and ive stumbled on some camero post about corsa buidlding a system for the v6 camero and the cadillac cts which almost have the same engine as ours, it does not sound to bad let me know what you think. i know our cars are a lil hp deprieved compared to the camero but do you guys think it will work and should we all contact corsa all let them know we are interested to. im ready for some mods im getting pacemakers hearders pretty soon and i heard hptuners has a tune up there sleeve, and with this exhaust we can get our g8s whipped into shape.

gm4life 09-05-2009, 04:35 PM I like the sound of that exhaust, sounds G35ish.
G8CrEppER 09-05-2009, 05:03 PM yeah i kinda like it to i wonder how a pair of headers will sound on or our car, wonder if this can be applied to our car with little modifications to the flanges.
hazer396 09-06-2009, 02:22 AM man i would buy that..
so would it fit on the G8?
prolly needs some fabrication?
how much do these go for?
hazer396 09-06-2009, 02:25 AM well i got my answer for cost.. $1200...
Panzer Leader 09-06-2009, 09:18 AM I have found that if I eat 2 bean burritos at TacoBell, wait 30 minutes I can really let some great sounds fly. Cost $2.50. Sorry, I really like my V6 the way it is. The only mod to the engine will be the CAI.

Panzer that's great and all but this thread is for people who are serious about their cars.
so hazer is this the price corsa quoted you on, what do you think we do send emails to corsa or borla to request a system for us the consumer people interested in their products , or else i don't think no one will pay to much interest on our cars.
hazer396 09-06-2009, 06:25 PM thats true.. because it can probably be universal for the G8 and CTS and thats good market too?
raguiarG8v6 09-07-2009, 09:28 AM I think we should flood them with e-mails on the G8V6 system.....I am really going crazy because the camero has more mods then our G8 and its much more newer then the G8 its time we start stepping up to the plate and start demanding aftermarket parts for out G8V6.....At least for me am tired of not having anything hardly to improve my HP. It really sucks and I bet you guys are tired to.So what do you say lets start e-mailing Corsa and Borla and maybe we get something out of it!!!!!!!!
:The_Villagers:
G8CrEppER 09-07-2009, 04:12 PM yeah im with you.
hazer396 09-07-2009, 05:41 PM im down
raguiarG8v6 09-07-2009, 06:22 PM i just e-mailed corsa and borla about out V6 exhaust system ....lets see what they say, I just dont think its fair that they leave the V6 out of everything. Its a G8 and they should make aftermarket performance parts for both the V8 and the V6. Especially on the exhaust that's a big thing with me i mean with out sound you dont have a performance car you just have a very nice looking car lol. :judge:
gm4life 09-07-2009, 07:36 PM Ooo for the price I rather have one fabbed up using their muffers.
hazer396 09-08-2009, 03:02 AM i would kill to have a Twin Turbo or even a Single Turbo on my V6.. seriously my V6 can hardly keep up to a RSX-S
hazer396 09-08-2009, 03:02 AM i thought the V6 would be awesome for aftermarket thats why i didnt bother spending extra on the V8 and now i wish i hadnt lol
hazer396 09-08-2009, 09:55 PM http://www.jhp.com.au/g8partsdirect/ExhaustUpgrades.htm
what about the varex muffler how would that sound?
G8CrEppER 09-09-2009, 10:27 PM Ooo for the price I rather have one fabbed up using their muffers.
but do you think they will just sell us the axle backs if we asked them?
yeah the varex or x force exhaust will sound good but im scared of getting it cause of the drone some Aussies claim it has. BUT FOR THE CORSA EXHAUST they claim it has zero drone and any speed which i believe due to hearing other board members comments on their v8.
hazer396 09-10-2009, 12:30 PM well for the VAREX/XForce.. i saw a way to eliminate 99% drone on this forum.. cant we weld onto one of these exahusts?
and WTF why did drone have to be on G8s... i hate this
Voice of Reason 09-10-2009, 03:58 PM It's camAro, not camEro.
gm4life 09-10-2009, 07:03 PM but do you think they will just sell us the axle backs if we asked them?
That would be nice. The thing is, whats the rest of the exhaust system look like. Is it just an axle back or cat-back on the Camaro? IF we just bolted on a set of muffs it probably wouldn't sound the same as the Camaro if its a cat-back.
Disregard, I found what it looks like: http://www.corsaperf.com/corsaProductDisplay.aspx?id=130&type=1
It has X-pipe, resontators, and muffs.
Has anybody sent an email to Corsa?
gman1227 09-10-2009, 08:40 PM i would kill to have a Twin Turbo or even a Single Turbo on my V6.. seriously my V6 can hardly keep up to a RSX-S
i second this, me want turbo:D
G8CrEppER 09-14-2009, 12:50 AM i wrote to them the other day and if those who are really interested would do the same maybe we can get them to build something for our cars. you can sample this if you like, "I am a proud V6 Pontiac G8 owner who is very interested in seeing an exhaust set up for our v6 category. Currently i know theirs a Camaro V6 exhaust set up and was wondering if this would be compatible to our G8 cars and if it would be made available in the near future." Thank you
heres their email address if you want to reply or visit their site a drop a comment for them to hear. email: sales@corsaperf.com

G8CrEppER 09-15-2009, 12:50 AM possible good news from corsa exhaust, i received this email today regarding a potential g8 v6 exhaust set up for our cars this is what they responded me back with,
Andrew,
Good morning.
At this time, we are gauging to see how well the Camaro system sells before we would look at the G8 kit. If we do look at this application, it will be late this year or early next year.

Bah, we have to wait for the Camaro before they decide if they're going to give it to us. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Red Arrowhead 09-16-2009, 12:10 PM And I'm on it. Emails going to Corsa and Borla both - today. :soapbox:
Red Arrowhead 09-16-2009, 03:10 PM Already....
Robert;
Thank you for your interest in Borla Products. Currently we do not have any plans to build a kit for your vehicle. We have not a whole lot of interest in a system for that application. Check back in a few months in case something changes.
Thanks,

Well, there ya' have it. :madsign3: No demand.
I responded to Chris:
Thank you for your rapid response. I'll pass the word.
Robert Whitehead
p.s. In the interest of a sale - what are the chances of using the Single Split Rear Exit (Part#11776). It appears that adapting it shouldn't be difficult. The two cars are built from the same chassis. Or is the difference in the the two motors so great, that you would not recommend it in any way?
Again, much thanks.
And his response:
"I think that it would definitely work. They are built on the same chassis so fitment should be pretty close".
Sounds like a maybe.
Now this part is just the freeier flowing mufflers with Borla tips, but maybe it's something?
Anybody wanna check it out and chime in?
