CORSA PERFORMANCE® EXHAUSTS ROLLS OUT NEW LUXURY PERFORMANCE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR CADILLAC XLR
Specifically engineered for premium sports car

XLRysBEREA, Ohio - (May 2005) - With its stunning looks and awesome power, it may seem impossible to improve upon the style and performance of the Cadillac XLR. But, a new exhaust system from CORSA Performance® can do just that.

"In addition to looking great, the new Cadillac XLR packs a lot of punch, and our proprietary exhaust technology improves on that power output by delivering a distinctive luxury performance sound worthy of the Cadillac nameplate," said Michael Schwartz, chief business officer, CORSA Performance.

The straight-through, nonrestrictive design of the Cadillac XLR exhaust system significantly reduces backpressure and can produce a 64% gain in exhaust flow when compared to the original equipment system, in addition to increased horsepower and torque. This increase allows the vehicle's 320-horsepower Northstar V-8 engine to really flex its muscle.

"This luxury roadster can now deliver a new standard of performance thanks to the added horsepower, torque and throttle response from the CORSA exhaust," said Schwartz.

Specifically engineered for the sleek, two-passenger XLR, the stainless steel high-performance exhaust utilizes CORSA's patented Reflective Sound Cancellation™ (RSC™) technology, creating an enhanced aggressive sound at idle and during acceleration, with whisper-quiet, resonance-free cruising at highway speeds.

"This car was designed to be a pleasure to drive, and our system enhances that experience by avoiding the resonance and drone found with other performance exhausts, while creating a tuned, performance sound that is both luxurious and unmistakably Cadillac," said Schwartz.

Crafted in the U.S.A. from 2.5-inch diameter 304L stainless steel mandrel-bent tubing, the easy to bolt-on CORSA Cadillac XLR exhaust system comes standard with twin Pro-Series 3.5" tips for a luxurious finishing touch. Each tip is made from high-quality 304L stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. Complete installation hardware with hangers and an illustrated, full-color installation guide are also included.

Featuring a lifetime-limited warranty, the Cadillac XLR exhaust system is 50 -state emissions legal, will not void the new vehicle warranty and can be purchased from any General Motors dealer or direct from CORSA Performance.

Focusing on the development of proprietary technology, CORSA Performance employs patented Reflective Sound Cancellation technology in its performance automotive exhaust systems. CORSA's 100% stainless steel cat-back exhausts are specifically tuned to each vehicle to eliminate passenger cabin resonance and to produce just the right sound. CORSA offers performance exhaust systems and accessories for cars, trucks and SUVs.
