If I buy This Corsa Cat Back now So i can get some better sound and more power while I save up for these Kooks Race Headers and Kooks ORY will I have any Trouble installing all of it together later on down the road, or should I just wait to buy it all and install it all together

I have a Corsa and love it. Used it on 2 different car.

Adding headers will change the sound as well as adding a ORY. IMO with stainless baffled mufflers like Borla and Corsa ORY can become VERY loud, maybe distracting. I have done both and when adding my Dynatechs I used their Catted Y and felt it worked the Best.

Kook's line up pretty good, they are made for stock exhaust in mind but no exhaust unless custom built for the car on the lift will need adjustment.

So I can buy the corsa now and install it, then after saving buy headers and install them with no issues as far as the corsa and kooks not connecting the same way... idk Ive done exhausts for my friends and on some of my cars, but normally they have headers mid pipe and cat back when i install or just headers of cat back... Im just asking so I dont install this cat back then in a month when I get the headers and ory Realize that because I installed with the stock system nothing will work with the kooks stuff

It will work. Like said that the worst that I ran into was a little modification by a shop that had exhaust equipment if I need a little bend, a tack weld, or flare. Makr sure you dont weld something that needs to come apart at a later date.
