All About Vauxhall Corsa Complete Exhaust Systems

The Vauxhall Corsa exhaust system is designed to move gases produced by the process of combustion from the engine through a series of chambers and pipes until it exits out of the tailpipe. Here is what you should know about the Vauxhall Corsa exhaust parts and system.

There are three main types of aftermarket Vauxhall Corsa exhaust systems available in the marketplace:

• Header-Back System: A header-back system is used to replace a Corsa d full exhaust system from the exhaust manifold to the tailpipe. In cars with a turbocharged engine, instead of using a standard header-back system, you will want to use a turbo-back one. They are both essentially the same in what you will be replacing, but the turbo-back system is designed to handle the extra power coming from a turbocharged engine.
• Cat-Back System: The cat-back system used in an Opel Corsa exhaust system replaces all the components from the catalytic converter on backward. This system has larger diameter pipes that are designed to allow more gas fumes to flow through the system. Allowing more gas to flow through the system helps to increase the fuel efficiency and performance of the engine.
• Axle-Back Systems: An axle-back system consists of all the exhaust parts from the axle to the tailpipe. They are also designed to help increase engine performance.

The two basic materials used in the making of Vauxhall Corsa exhaust system are mild steel and stainless steel.

• Mild steel is low-carbon steel and is used to create a low-cost Corsa exhaust system. The mild steel needs to maintain its coating to avoid oxidation and rust.
• Stainless steel is a harder metal and is good to use in wet and snowy climates.

You can find complete systems and the various components that make up a system on eBay, including:

• Back Boxes: Back boxes are designed to capture the exhaust gases coming from the engine and slow them down. This helps the Corsa to run smoothly and quietly.
• Silencers (also called a muffler): The silencer cools the exhaust gases and helps to reduce the sound coming from the exhaust system.
• Flex Pipes: A flex pipe is typically placed between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter. It is designed to withstand the pressure of the movement of the car and engine to avoid cracking and releasing gases straight into the atmosphere.
