Default corsa+ longtubes =????

right now my car is basically stock, with free mods, k and n airfilter, and corsa exhaust. I heard that if i ad some headers it will be REALLY loud. That is what i want. I was thinkin of hooker with ory pipe. Does anyoone have corsa with headers and is it loud? right now my car is way too quite.

There might be threads on this but its ok.

It will be loud. Depending how loud is loud, for you that is? I think my set-up right now is too quiet(check sig) although very soon I'll be having an extremely loud exhaust set-up soon. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> This thread is an iteration to the cause, because everyones opinion of loud might be different. IMO the best way is to listen for yourself. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

i've got LT's, high flow cats w/ custom Y.... and corsa. it sounds awesome.... alot louder at WOT, alil louder at cruise, and its noticeably louder at idle, but it isn't obnoxiously loud at idle which is nice. Its a very good sounding setup <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Video clips of this setup are on my website. It will be nice with longtubes. Definitely louder than without. With heads and a cam it will really open up even more.

Corsa plus headers plus no cats = awesome.

Corsa plus headers plus extra cubes plus no cats plus big solid roller = Pro Stock sound <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

FLP headers - no cats - Corsa catback. I love the sound, the flp cats just sit in my garage. I see them all the time, but never install them- wonder why? click below <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Paul- I didn't get the merge collectors I got the emissions style with cats and will probably get the off road pipes he's thinking about doing too. As far as a cam I'm thinking something like the TR220 or the TR224 but I'm still looking around.

With no other exhaust toning mods, the corsa is pretty quiet at idle, but gets loud as hell anywhere above.

For instance my girlfried was sitting in my car about 50 feet away from me, all of a sudden she revved the engine, it scared the $hit out of me, but sounded damn good.

Can't wait to get me QTP headers, should sound 10X better <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
