Wow is my car loud now. Can't believe the difference. I cut the 2.5" reducers off of my 3" Corsa catback and put some 3" pipe with new 2.5" reducers up by the headers because I plan on getting headers next year and want it all to be 3".

The car drones pretty bad around 2k rpms now. Hopefully headers will fix that. I'm leaning towards Belanger, B&B, or SVSi maybe. Any suggestions? I plan on supercharging eventually.

Why would headers help with drone? And you think it is loud now . . . wait until the headers are on.

No doubt it will be even louder with headers and the drone will probably be worse too. Hi-flow cats are in order or maybe another bullet muffler in the side sill and an x-pipe in the rear. I have hi-flows and an X-pipe on my 3" headers/exhaust and pretty much have no drone and it's still plenty loud. Before I put the x-pipe on the drone gave me headaches.

Yea i might do that. I don't know how long I can stand it, lol. I thought Corsa wasn't supposed to have drone.

there is VERY little drone with my borla setup and no cats. Sounds AWESOME too. I never cared for the corsa setup, a little too raspy for me.

Yea i'm thinking about changing the catback. I'll probably go with Belanger. Not too fond of this Corsa although I hear it sounds good with some headers.

The headers will move the drone up to about 3200 rpms. Should be just about right to tick of the neighbors.

I'm catless, running 3" from the headers on. It's LOUD, but I love it! I don't get drone, just nice, muscle car music. It's actually not that loud unless you're getting on it (OK, it's kind of not loud at idle :cool: but when you're really getting in it, it sounds like a full-on race car.

I wouldn't want a cop to see ya when you're at WOT !!

COP: :evilmad:
YOU: :curse:

I have Belenger headers, no cats, and Corsa and love the sound.

Real loud when you push the pedal.
