Default G'day from down under

Hi everyone, have not been on the forum for a while and its great to see all the familiar names again.
I am absolutely loving my C5 driving around the sunny Gold Coast.
The time has come to add a few more horses and I was thinking of long tube headers and a cold air.
I currently have the Corsa pace car cat backs and love the sound under WOT and then on the highway at 100kms you can hardly hear it and no drone whats so ever, brilliant!!
My long winded questions is if I add the LT headers is the car going to be super load and have allot of noise come through the firewall/interior?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hello Geoff! Good to hear from someone outside the good 'ol U. S. of A. Sorry I cant' help you with your exhaust question, but I'm sure someone will pop in and help you out real soon!

How much of a chore (and expense) was it to convert your car over to right-hand-drive?

Hi Bill,
$34,500 Aust, still represents great value and they did a excellent job.
$50k to do a C6.

I have the Corsa pace car with LT, yes it will get bit louder, but it is still very civilized when cruising as far as having LTs go. However when you get on it they scream.

The most popular headers for the C5 are American Racing headers....
great HP/torque gains and ease of installation

Louder Yes, but amazingly still no drone. Not stupid loud but at WOT it makes children cry. Don't ask me how I know that

It will probably get louder, but it is a good mod to do.
