That said, the V1 is still a very good driving platform once it's been well-sorted. The LS6 is a fine engine and will respond very well to a heads/cam/exhaust setup. Plenty of fun to be had.

Agree with Bud. All the bolt in FI kits that I know of are discontinued. So you can custom build it, do an LSA and cut/fab your hood, or punt. V1 is still a great value for refinement+performance/dollar but you want better and easier in a sedan, you'll have to spend more on a V2, G8, or SS.

Hey. Ive recently purchased a 2005 cts v. It’s already has a corsa catback exhaust and a short throw shifter from the previous owner.
Ive been interested in gaining some extra power and tone. I’ve been looking into some headers and possibly a cai along with a dyno tune.
I also would plan on getting more into the engine later as money allows.
My questions are,
are kook headers the only headers that will connect with a corsa catback exhaust? I think I read this somewhere. Also what size would you recommend? Is a wrap or coating a must?
i can get a volant cai setup for about $230 is that worth it?
anyone selling headers????
I would be doing everything myself of corse.

Wrap your headders. Coat and wrap for bonus points.
I run Chinese DNA Motorports headders. They are quiet nice and very well built. I don't see why they wouldn't work with the Corsa, several Guys on the Facebook page do with good results.
I also run 400 cell thunder bolt cats.
I have a Volant Cai and it's nice. Save your money and run a 3.5" diy intake tube. Easy to do, and honestly a similar result.
