Default LTx SW headers and Corsa system

anyone running this particular combination? i know with heads and corsa on C5s there is still no resonation, what about with the C4s? Also when using SW cat pipes does it match up to the Corsa resonator that sits under the car or is some fabrication needed to join them together. looks to me that you could cut the Corsa pipes that have the forward most hangers off and join them directly into the SW cat pipes. anyone know for sure? thanks

The Corsa system is known for it's complete lack of resonance more than any other C4 system, from all reports. Headers will do little if anything to alter this fact. I wouldn't worry about that. SW makes their connector pipes (or pipe and cat combinations) with enough material to connect to the stock system or any other catback and all that's required beyond that is cutting to length and making the connection. Whether you're able to do it yourself or have it done at a competent muffler shop, it's no big deal and the cost will be minimal.

But let me clarify first to the differences in my case...

I have an L98 w/ 1 3/4" coated headers, R/T bullet cats and a "LT-1" Corsa setup modded to all fit together and get zero resonance (using cats or even cat "test pipes")

Point is, just because of your selection of header type, you should still have no resonance probs.

Hope this helps a bit
