no thats a stock exhaust, converters removed or something, I havent checked into it my buddy did it. car is basically stock, lowered on bilsteins, thats how I bought it. I dont have any huge plans for it, I just got it last year from a buddy in Mass. I love it but so far I have had to put a tranny in it, my trunk, hood, and drivers door dont open at this point. so I am basically doing alot of maintence stuff right now. I love the car though.

Welcome!! It's great to have another C arround! Hope to catch up with you at a gtg. Your exhaust looks like mine! I had the suitcase muffler pulled and the connection of the back muffler to the straight pipe had to be modified, thus my tail pipe sticks out like that, too. I like my stock exhaust, but I'm looking forward to a 2.5" TT system!

Love the color! what are your summer wheels? What year is it?

Sweet, nice color man. Can't wait to see what you have planned for it.

I'm not in oswego, but I went to college there . . . I'm located in Seneca Falls, about an hour or so away.

I agree on the color, that does look nice. Glad to see another Corrado, of course I'm a bit partial to them :-)
