Throw on some LongTube headers, they will make your Corsa's sound awesome and you won't want to stop driving the car

Thanks! I used to work in Woodfield Mall, but moved out west for better weather (more vette time) and job. Missed the food especially Portillo's and believe or not, White Castle!

LT headers and new gears would be a good choice.

I like the header idea and if you have an A4...ditto on the gears.

I agree Lontubes and gears. Gears is next on my list although if I don't get another car to track I may wait and do coilovers and swaybars.
