So I called few exhaust shops in Ohio ( around Columbus area ) and ever one just shot me down saying its illegal and they can't do it. I don't want to cut the factory system.
Has anyone did a self install of the new corsa x-pipe (deleting 2nd cat) without cutting the OEM system ? With just off the shelf parts ? If so, can some one post the links of parts to order ?
your help will be much appreciated. PLEASEEE !!!
Also, I'm totally aware of the fact that the 2nd cat delete will only increase minor amount of sound. I have installed and driven awe track system with AWE link pipes on my buddies SS 1LE and also, driven another buddie's ZLE with Corsa Xtreme without 2nd cat delete. personally, I felt the 2nd cat deletes add more crackles and pop and I simply enjoy and love that.
Thanks again.
Pics for attention and I'm cherishes those care free days. lol

Hey addaboy5, this may be slightly off topic, but potentially relevant. You mentioned track days in your original post so I thought I would share my experiences. I'm running Kooks headers with Kooks catted connection pipes into the stock NPP exhaust and have been black flagged for noise at Atlanta Motorsports Park and NCM at last year's Camaro Fest. You may want to verify that your proposed mods won't be an issue at any tracks you frequent. I guarantee that a catless Corsa system will be louder than my car, so be sure to rig up some Laguna pipes or baffles if you're planning to do NCM at Camarofest!
It should be noted that I've done several other tracks without issue.
