Default Exhaust

Guys thinking of changing my exhaust to corsa sport at bloomington gold. About 1100 installed without crossover pipe.Good idea or should I keep the ti's and just get headers. Tell me some good set ups and some ball park prices.
Thanks

IF you get LT headers, the exhaust sound level really increases especially if you have a h/c swap. I would install the headers first and then see how you like it. The Ti's will not have any drone. Jmo

A little while back the talk was about Granatelli. How are these exhausts doing?

John, what is your ultimate objective. It seems to me that the ti's are quieter than the Corsa Sport. If you keep them, and add the headers, you would improve power and keep the sound / drone in good check. You probably won't help with power improvement with just adding the Corsa Sports.

Keep in mind that adding headers might create problems if you need to use your warrenty. Does your car have a warrenty and is that an issue?

IMO go for the headers first. If you want the exhaust later, it's easier to install than deciding you want headers after installing an aftermarket exhaust system. Saves you $$ on labor and time if you're DIY.

You might want to give WCC a call. They had a sale going for Corsas, with some really great prices. Oh, and get the Pace car version.
