Never had that problem. Stock exhaust is pretty darn quiet and absolutely drone free.
I've had both as well, no drone anywhere throughout the RPM rangeQuote:

This is actually really rattling me, the muffler was $150 and to have a body shop put it on was $100...
If the stock muffler is the fix then by all means I'll have it put back on:(
I don't see how your getting drone from just a muffler swap??
I would suggest maybe some extra sound deadening?

Aw jeez, that's a lot of work :eek How much did that construction tape end up costing overall in the end?Quote:

In the top end which you would never use normally. So it's basically nothing.Quote:

Can anyone identify the physical differences in terms of looks of a UUC TSE1 vs. TSE2 vs. TSE3? I'm eyeing this one which I believe is the TSE3, but the seller cannot confirm:

Can't answer you question but you liked it so much that you are close to buying one already?? Not surprised I must say...Quote:

Here is mine, make sure it's the catback version and not just the muffler. That price is in line with just the muffler and/or the seller doesn't know.Quote:

It's addicting...first time since I've moved that I wish my commute was longer and I actually had to get in my car. That's saying a lot!Quote:

You guys are funny! I did the same thing: always had the windows down with the Corsa... Still do in the wife's 135... Her Corsa is what inspired me in the first place.
BTW the newer Corsa has the name on the top of the tips instead of the sides. San, I believe yours is that way IIRC
You mean a newer production year of the TSE3 right? Because the picture on the website has them on the side presumably since I don't see them on top. And BP's is on the side as well, Charlie's too IIRC.Quote:

I liked the sound a lot on Daniel's with the GruppeM. I can't say 100% I'd put it on mine, but I found one being sold somewhat locally in WA for cheap. I just have to figure out if there are any issues with it.Quote:

I believe there is a well-known problem with the oil filter hardware on these cars developing leaks that are hard to fix? What is this generally called, so I can do some searching here?
Oil filter housing gasket leakQuote:

Thanks all. CCV = some form of crankcase ventilation?

Gotta nother: my driver's window is making a sharp cracking sound when closing about 3" shy of closed. Replace the regulator?
Yup. And make sure the window guides are in acceptable condition before you do, otherwise you'll be replacing the regulator again soon enough.Quote:

Does anybody remember what type of Brake Fluids did the group recommend for the ZHP? How many quarts / pints required for the fluid flush? Thanks.

Yes, that's the right kit for the K&N filters. Though I'm not sure if aerosol or squeeze bottle would be better for the oil.Quote:
