CORSA Performance Performance Exhaust Systems, Headers, Mufflers and Tips
The Beginning
CORSA Performance entered the exhaust category in 1998, re-writing the rulebook for what a performance exhaust should be with the launch of the revolutionary RSC® (Reflective Sound Cancellation®) Technology. RSC® Technology allows CORSA Performance the unique ability to selectively target and eliminate resonant frequencies that cause drone, while custom tuning the exhaust note. Since the debut of RSC® Technology in 1998 on the C5 Corvette, CORSA Performance has invested countless resources Perfecting the Science of Sound, resulting in world-wide recognition for high-performance, aggressive exhausts systems that eliminate drone. With numerous patents protecting multiple generations of CORSA’s unique RSC® Technologies, CORSA Performance exhaust systems remain the standard by which all other exhaust systems are measured.
A New Era
Beginning in 2012, CORSA entered the Air Intake market with a range of products that take advantage of CORSA’s advanced understanding of airflow. Having pioneered Straight-Through Design with RSC® exhaust systems that yield dramatic performance gains, CORSA has leveraged that knowledge of air-flow to create free-flowing, direct path Air Intakes. In the pursuit of ultimate performance, CORSA has secured an exclusive relationship with Donaldson® Filtration Solutions and is proud to offer a wide range of air intake solutions that feature Donaldson PowerCore® Filtration Technology.

Down-Pipes
What is a down-pipe?
A down-pipe is an exhaust tube that directs the exhaust gases from your vehicle's turbo “down” into your exhaust system. The downpipe typically bolts onto the exhaust side of your turbo housing, and connects at your mid-pipe section. Some down-pipe exhaust brands include catalytic converters and others are simply straight-though pipes that bypass and/or eliminate the catalytic converter.
Does a down-pipe make your exhaust louder?
Yes. Most aftermarket down pipes have a straight-through design that will reduce backpressure and increase exhaust efficient. This makes your exhaust louder with a more aggressive note.
Does a downpipe increase horsepower?
An aftermarket down-pipe on any turbocharged engine should increase horsepower. In most cases, the upgraded down pipe will allow the turbo to spool quicker and hold a higher boost level.
Does a downpipe increase fuel economy?
Like most upgrades that reduce backpressure and allow exhaust gasses to exit more efficiently, you can realize a fuel mileage gain. However, most Accesspeed customers are simply unable to keep their foot out of the throttle long enough to see the fuel economy improvement.
Are down-pipes legal or illegal in my state?
If a down pipe requires modification or removal of the OEM catalytic converter, it is likely not legal. If the down-pipe you want to order is not 50-state legal (CARB-approved) with a proper EO#, it is most likely illegal in your state. We recommend checking your state laws to verify prior to purchasing.
