Corsa Exhaust question & Black water - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys.

Recently picked up a set of American Racing Headers and a Corsa Exhaust for my 2010 SS Camaro (LS3). Got everything installed and sounds fantastic, but wasn't until I got everything on that I realized the exhaust is corsa's exhaust for the L99. Would it be fine to leave on the car? Or do I need to remove it and go with something else?

Also, at the rear of the car on the mufflers, and mid way up, I'm getting a lot of leakage at the clamps. Dark water- Looks to be so and water mixed, condensation maybe? Any thoughts on this and ideas on how to cut it down and get less leakage? I'm in Georgia, so I figure with it being as humid as it is it isn't a big deal. Any info helps.

Don't worry about it , you can put a AUTO kit on a M6 just not the other way around. And all exhausts have the black water , from exhaust gas cooling as it travels out (condensation)

I'm guessing the black in the water is soot mixing with the condensation? Is a large amount of water normal?

You should be able to snug the clamps down where they will not leak water or air. -John

Looks normal to me. Just make sure all clamps are snug. Usually have to check after a few heat cycles.

Also a L99 exhaust will fit a LS3 car equipped car and vice versa. Usually the difference is a L99 exhaust might have more to drown out drone or AFM mode. Now an exhaust for a convertible won't work on a coupe and vice versa.

Good deal. Exhaust leak fixed.

Now considering I've got new headers and an exhaust on and all, Im getting a lot of backfiring, an abnormal amount and Im almost positive it is running very lean. I'll be taking it to get dyno'd and tuned soon, but until then, would the 5/20 fuse pull helpthe car or backfiring any?
