This has probably been asked a few times before, but I just need verification if the stock msp axelback will fit directly to the corksport exhaust?
Diameter, placement of the bolts, placement of the hangers and how much further it would stick out pass the bumper.
Should I be encountering any problems or if any modifications are needed to have it fit?
And what is the sound like after?
Advice from ppl who's done this? THANKS

Yes it fits fine. I had that set up for a day to see what it was like. Sounded pretty nice. It's fairly quiet then roars a little when revved or while pushing it on the road.

So compared with the corksport axelback, the msp axel back is alot quieter? I can't stand the loud droning noise the CS makes when i'm driving on the highway.

I'm glad you like it. Do you have an updated CS exhaust with the new flexpipe and did you use exhaust springs? If not, the exhaust will crack right next to the resonator. Mine did twice but Corksport helped me out right away with a new piece. Just had to email pics of the crack.

I'm not quite sure if it is the updated cs exhaust. I bought it off a dealer who probably ordered it off corksport bout a year ago. Do you have any pics of it or how did the crack eventually form?

If it was about a year ago it's most likely the updated version. The updated one has a flex piece. When mine cracked is was on the weld on the edge of the resonator right under where the shifter is. It cracks from the shitty stock engine mounts and because they cleaned up the weld so much by grinding it down. Corksport also told me that they wouldn't cover cracked ones anymore unless you could prove that you have aftermarket engine mounts. Before I bought my GHL I had the updated CS exhaust on for at a year but I don't really remember. Anyways it was fine the whole time. I sold it to someone local and he has had it on since last June and so far no problems with cracking. Just thought I would warn you because I went through it twice. I have pics but they are on my home PC which doesn't have internet right now.
