Sure this can be done but at what point do they need to mate up ?

Will a lot of power be lost though by using the std centre pipe etc ?

you could use one of those remus centre sections for £60 or less on ebay. They're stainless steel have a good sound, and bound to be alot better flowing than the std pipe

1.2 8v exhausts have a decent sized bore to them so I doubt you'll loose too much power.

I'd reckon that all corsa 8 valves including sri have the same bore of exhaust. Same as the nova, ppl thought the gte/gsi exhausts are bigger, but no they're all the same in the 8 valves.

Yea, they must all be the same... Cost too much to make different ones for different cars and there would be no gain...

With the remus centre section, it looks that the piping is englarged, but it is std size at the joins to enable fitment, suppose it won't make any "real" difference to power, probaly just gains abit less backpressure due to the absence of a middle silencer. I've never seen any exhaust system on a car, make any worthwhile difference on its on, but when a 4 brach is fitted 2 it works great. Is nice tho to improve abit more sound
