I'm sure it will since he had the same set up as you... LM with LTs and ORY.

It most certainly will eliminate the machinegun sound. It did for me. I'm running LTs/ORY and Borla catback that sounded like complete **** before I had the XR-1 welded in place. This is the way to go if you don't want to spend some serious coin on a Corsa.

I've heard Elite's setup in person and it's quite surprising. It's quiet, no doubt about it, but as soon as he gives it any bit of gas you can tell it's not stock. And I heard a car with LTs, Corsa, and Cats at the track over the summer and it sounded unbelievable.

ditch the cats if performance and sound is what you are after.

corsa has that clean tone similar to a corvette. There's no rasp, and like people said above it gets real loud over 4000rpms but other than that its no problem at all. best sound on the market if you don't want rasp. top quality/performance as well.

I use the Corsa with high flow cats, it has AMAZING sound. I get as much compliments on that as much as I get because the car is NBM

I really like the sound of my Gibson stainless exhaust. Has a nice rumble without being annoyingly loud. costs $450 from LM performance
