CORSA Performance Performance Exhaust Systems, Headers, Mufflers and Tips

 

The Beginning

CORSA Performance entered the exhaust category in 1998, re-writing the rulebook for what a performance exhaust should be with the launch of the revolutionary RSC® (Reflective Sound Cancellation®) Technology. RSC® Technology allows CORSA Performance the unique ability to selectively target and eliminate resonant frequencies that cause drone, while custom tuning the exhaust note. Since the debut of RSC® Technology in 1998 on the C5 Corvette, CORSA Performance has invested countless resources Perfecting the Science of Sound, resulting in world-wide recognition for high-performance, aggressive exhausts systems that eliminate drone. With numerous patents protecting multiple generations of CORSA’s unique RSC® Technologies, CORSA Performance exhaust systems remain the standard by which all other exhaust systems are measured.

 

A New Era

Beginning in 2012, CORSA entered the Air Intake market with a range of products that take advantage of CORSA’s advanced understanding of airflow. Having pioneered Straight-Through Design with RSC® exhaust systems that yield dramatic performance gains, CORSA has leveraged that knowledge of air-flow to create free-flowing, direct path Air Intakes. In the pursuit of ultimate performance, CORSA has secured an exclusive relationship with Donaldson® Filtration Solutions and is proud to offer a wide range of air intake solutions that feature Donaldson PowerCore® Filtration Technology. PowerCore® Filtration outperforms traditional cellulose filters; offering greater filtration capabilities, a freer flowing air-path and no maintenance for up to 150,000 miles.

Air Intake and Induction » Mass Air Flow Sensors

What is a Mass Air Flow Sensor or MAF?

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is part of your vehicle's electronic fuel injection system. The MAF sensor calculates the total amount of air entering the engine through the intake tract, and tells the computer how much fuel to inject for air coming through the intake. 

How does a mass air flow sensor work?

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor has two sensing wires in the housing that protrudes into the intake tube prior to the throttle body.  One wire is heated by electrical current, the other is not heated at all.  As air flows across the heated wire, it cools the wire down. When the temperature difference between the two sensing wires changes, the MAF sensor automatically increases or decreases the current to the heated wire to compensate, telling the computer how much fuel to send through the fuel injectors.

 

How much horsepower and mpg increase can I expect from an aftermarket mass air flow sensor?

Aftermarket performance mass air flow (MAF) sensors replace your OEM sensor and improve on mileage and can increase horsepower by up to 20-HP, depending on the vehicle and engine. Performance MAF sensors increase airflow and low-end torque, without robbing top-end power, and works with factory electronics.

 

What are the symptoms of a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor?

  • The engine hesitates or drags while under load or idling.
  • During acceleration, you experience hesitation and jerking.
  • The engine coughs, sputters, or hiccups.
  • Excessively rich idling or lean idling.
  • The engine is difficult to start or crank over.
  • The engine stalls or dies shortly after starting.

 

Can you drive with a bad mass air flow sensor?

Yes and no. Yes, you can drive your vehicle with a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor, but only to get it home or to a repair shop to fix or replace it. Ignoring this problem can lead to far more severe engine problems and damage.

 

Why would a car run better with the mass air flow sensor unplugged?

If your vehicle runs better with your MAF sensor unplugged, you likely have a shorted-out sensor. When the computer does not read a signal from your mass air flow sensor, it provides the computer with a stock signal that will allow you to drive your vehicle for a short period of time to get it fixed or replaced.
