Just starting to polish the Corsa muffler, Pics

Well, I'm reaching the final stage of finishing this exhaust. The muffler should need two more steps to be crazy-shine. I should be finished final polish on the complete CORSA twin tip pro system and then it's being installed mid-week. This is one project I don't wish to repeat, even though the results were worth the headaches. I'm pretty sure that I will do the CETA mod after I install the exhaust. I think the CETA mod would make for a good contrast on the back of the car with the twin tip setup.

I can only wonder why you'd polish something that you won't really see.

If the entire underchassis is clean and detailed, why not go a step further a polish the exhaust. I think it looks good.

Just keeping my exhaust clean is a headache in itself. Enjoy that shine while it lasts..

Oh I think it looks great, but I have to imagine that it's going to be hell to keep up if it's a daily driven car.

It's not daily driven ( I would never attempt this if it was ) Underbody and entire car is ridiculous clean.

The rest of the exhaust:


A few underbody shots:

I still don't understand why people spend all that money on perfectly good aftermarket parts if they're just going to let the car sit in a garage all the time. Seems so wasteful to me...

x 2.

Perhaps there is some other reason for the parts. What do you use the car for?

The car is mostly used for show an occasional driving when I have time. I'm looking forward to putting some miles on the car this summer, might even head to the drag-strip and throw the Bogarts/slicks on the car and go for a new best

Maybe b/c they dont have the time to drive it all the time and they dont want to use it as their daily driver? It could be their toy? I know thats what im wanting to do with my car, build it up and let it be my weekend toy or whatever...theres plenty of reasons. Just b/c you spend money on aftermarket parts for a car doesnt mean you have to drive it every day.

Wow is freakin' right! And if the man has the means, who cares if it only gets out on 'Sundays'?

Thanks for the props guys, I enjoy just owning the car and doing different things to the vehicle, mostly for fun. I do drive the car when I have time or weather permits, but I must admit that the last couple of years the car did not receive much play-time :{ I've decided to drive the car much more this summer ( I also hate seeing the goods go to waste, but this is most definitely not a daily driver ) I'm going to give the CORSA exhaust a final polish with Mother's and then install it for good on wednesday. I'm taking the car into the Suspension shop tuesday for a complete setup. I'm gonna have the guy tune the entire suspension ! Probably going to take most of the day to set the car up. I can't wait to try out the car with some spirited driving after all the tuning is done.
