pacesetters, QTP, kooks, e-bay xs stainless steel headers, FLP's. take your pic. it all depends on your budget. all headers dyno close toe ach other. some fit better than others. flowtechs and kinda shitty and slp's have **** for ground clearance.

Pacesetters ceramic coated are the best bang for the buck, perform, and fit well. Top of the line would be Kooks and QTP, they're stainless steel.

Highly recommend Kooks. If not Kooks then QTP. Stainless steel is the way to go if you plan on having your car for a long time.

the main question here is how much can you budget for headers? they are as cheap as 400 and go all the way up to 800+. if your keeping your car forever then spend the money on stainless and get kooks or qtp's

This is about all the recommendations that can be made for yah!

Your question was ... Which headers will work good with Corsa?

Well..there is no one given header that works especially well with Corsa. Find your budget and mod accordingly.

How much are Kooks and QTP compared to pacesetters? I going to get something that will last....how well does ceramic coated hold up? I just want something that will wake up the corsa a little bit.

kooks and QTP's are over twice the amount of pacesetters... pacesetters will last a long time, but not as long as the kooks or QTP since they are stainless.... if u want to spend over 800 bucks get the kooks or QTP.. but if your on a budget get the pacesetters and u wont regret it either (under 400).. pacesetters are one of the best fitting headers out there, and there are prolly more sets of pacesetter headers on fbodys then any other header out there
