I did some cyber-sleuthing and I believe the OP said he's running -1.7* camber in the back. Based on the way he describes his driving, I think he'd be good to go with -0.5* camber in the back which would increase his straight line traction.
Two Cents.
Wasn't saying you're a Joe Schmoe or any other type of Schmoe. Really just that none of us have had the problems you're having, and a lot of us have this intake. Like I said, I reached out to the owner of PMAS as soon as I read your thread. (that's why he replied right away about the set screw...
Interesting perspective. I always turn traction control off unless I'm driving through one of South Florida's famous Torrential Downpours, and I go WOT almost every time I drive the car. But maybe I'm just weird.
That said, I'm very interested in your tire recommendations. I'll research...
Outside guess here, but I'll bet the car has a significant amount of negative camber in the back. Taking it close to zero will enhance traction, although that's not what the cool kids do for an HPDE alignment.
1. Cross threaded. This is the only possible explanation.
2. Pic for clarification? I installed everything weeks ago and none of the lines have budged.
3. Installer error? Mine has never tried to come loose.
4. Set screws? I contacted PMAS to see what's up. Mine didn't have these. Seems to be...
We sell Corsa at UPR, and UPRSteve has it on his car. Swing by the shop at:
750 S. Eastcoast St
Lake Worth, FL 33460
EDIT: we also have Magnaflow street on one of our other shop cars... but it's got full length headers and a VMP TVS... not an apples to apples comparison.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will most likely scoop up the Carbotechs or G-Locs before my next HPDE (a few months away), along with stainless lines, speed bleeders, and Motul. I bought the Stoptech Posi Quiet Semi Metallic pads for now. $62 shipped from Tire Rack.
Yes! That's why I mentioned Ridetech. I put the Ridetech Level 2 Coilovers (from UPRproducts.com) on my car and they made a day and night difference. Here's my install thread:

Does anybody know of any decent brake pads out there which would be available to order now?
I am in the process of upgrading my base model 2016 5.0 to the factory 15" Brembo front brakes. I have everything except the brake pads. A good deal on the factory pads was $200 and it seems like for...
First and foremost: tires tires TIRES. The best suspension in the world won't hook with Whipple torque on stock tires. In addition to stickier tires, I'd suggest UPR vertical links and Viking or Ridetech shocks.
It's much more of a pain to install an aftermarket ram air hood than it is to install those fake stick on hood scoops...
It's much more of a pain to install a complete carbon fiber body kit than it is to stick carbon fiber vinyl on the factory pieces...
It's much more of a pain to black...
Keep in mind that everything is relative. Some people might say that it was the hardest install ever. Others like me think it was no big deal. It's all about perspective.
MBRP is inexpensive because they have a large manufacturing capacity. They make A LOT of exhaust, so their costs are low.
I have the MBRP Race cat-back on my 2016 5.0 and I love it.
Do you sell the pads? I need to buy a set of those or the Carbotech. Actually looking for a 90% street pad, with auto crosses thrown in. (and I have eradispeed+ rotors)
