I'm wondering the same thing about my GHLs. I like aggressive sounding, but not just loud. Gonna try to find someone with my setup to listen to before I drop the change for the long tubes. Think that's the best advise.

Although I don't have the Corsas (I've got Borlas) you are more than welcome to take a trip up to Jax to hear mine. I've got the LGM LT's full system w/o cats and love it. It is loud when I punch it but not bad at all when just cruising. Just a thought.
Also, there's some guys in Orlando (FL Leghumpers) with LT's that you might be able to listen to so here's a ttt for you. Good luck!

Header sounds
I have long tube headers, x-pipe, high flo cats, and borla exhaust in my 99 coupe......sounds awesome. I was worried about how loud it was going to be too, but unless I reall get on it, the sound is not bad at all. But when I do get on it, its awesome, sounds very mean and backs it up with more HP...the extra heat in the floorboard is my only draw back.....

I have heard this set up before (corsa with long tubes) on another forum memeber car and it sounded awesome when he got on it, just like an Indy car,,this coming from a guy who has longtubes and Loudmouths.

I think that you would be pleased with that set up.
I was worried about the same thing ... for nothing it turns out.
I have Dynamax long tubes with high flow cats, an x-pipe and corsa indies. On normal drive it is a quiet as stock (no drone) ... but when you get on it it has the kind of volume that it should.
You choose, mild - drive normal, loud - get on it.
Good luck
