Default Corsa and Headers

I have 94 LT1 6 speed with a LT4 hotcam, long tube headers and no cats. The exhaust is a 3" B&B.

I drove a C5 last friday with a Corsa exhaust and I loved the sound. I could talk and listen to music at cruising speed. It sounded great at WOT.

The B&B is notoriously loud and it is amplified by headers. You can hear my car a mile away.

I am curious as to what it will sound like with a Corsa, no cats and long tube headers. Anyone have this set up?

I've got wood now.

That thing sounds awesome at idle. My 94 had no cats when I got it. I added shorties and a Corsa and it sounded close to that one, but WAAAYYY too loud when just cruising. A set of cats took care of that.


What brand of long tubes?

I noticed that no air tubes were installed to the top of the headers--are those fittings somehow closed up or blocked?

Just adding cats will quiet you down.
