W/ the stock cam it'll sound fairly mild @ stock, but once you hit it it'll SCREAM. I think no matter what cam you've got in it w/ Corsa, it'll scream like a banshee in the top end of the revs. It should sound nice tho, IMO. Not too loud @ idle or low revving, but once you lay into 'er - look out.

Drop the corsa and get some borla stingers or ghl bullets...... they sound way better at idle and a lot tougher at WOT....

better idea. listen to what others have in person and decide for yourself which you like better.

to answer your question though. whoever is behind you will not like you much, but itll be fine for you. ive heard many systems just like yours. they sound very good to me. outside its loud at idle and driving, however its quiet inside when crusing. WOT runs will be very loud, but have a good tone. i like the sound i really do, but listen to what others have and decide for yourself.
