Breathe A Little Easier!
How-To: Install Corsa Performance's 2006 F150 Exhaust

When enthusiasts hear the name Corsa, they associate the name with the exhaust of high end vehicles such as the Dodge Viper, the Corvette and the late model Ford Mustang. Well now Corsa offers owners of several other vehicles the option to add this highly respected and quality aftermarket exhaust to their vehicles as well!

Corsa sets itself apart from other manufacturers, by offering 4 distinct qualities:

1] No Resonance/Drone... due to patented Reflective Sound Cancellation™ (RSC™) technology; your exhaust is whisper quiet at highway speeds.

2] Increased Horsepower and Torque... resulting from a straight-through design; increased flow and less backpressure.

3] Great Performance Sound... we tune in the good sounds and cancel the bad, without the use of baffles or steel wool packing material.

4] Better Fuel Economy... less backpressure means the engine does not work as hard (especially if you can keep your foot out of it...).

When we had the chance to test out Corsa's Sport Exhaust (Part # 14376) on our 2006 F150 test truck, we jumped at the chance. Anyone who frequents car shows or the track knows that Corsa means business when it comes to exhausts. These exhausts sound mean, and are of the highest quality - a perfect match for any true enthusiast.

You can purchase any exhaust Corsa offers directly through the secure order form on their website http://www.corsaperf.com and the retail price for the system we are installing is $951.99.

When planning out our install we looked at the option to have a local exhaust shop install our exhaust, but Truckblog wanted to show our readers that anyone with some basic hand tools, and a bit of patience can install their exhaust in an afternoon without a lift - the true enthusiast way.

Before getting started, we reccomend reading over the directions and getting together any tools you may need for the installation, and familiarize yourself with any steps you may need to take later on.
