2003 6speed -Corsa w/Xpipe ,Blackwing, Tuned. Car runs strong for what it is.Was thinking of adding a nice set of long tubes.Would adding the LT'S make it a little louder and would my idle be rougher?

maybe a little louder but definitely deeper, and no I don't think it would make for a rough idle.

It will make it a good bit louder/deeper during hard acceleration or full throttle. At idle it will be about the same, and not rough unless you add a cam and then it will get jiggy

One of the best mods I did was add a set of LG Pro Long Tubes. I get compliments on the sound all the time

Well, when I had my kooks installed it didn't get louder driving around town but at WOT it screams like a dragster. Actually, just cruising around town it doesn't sound as deep as the stock ti with no headers. It's almost a European exotic kind of sound, its hard to explain. I like it though...It still sounds like a V8
You should listen to some sound clips on youtube.com and streetfire.net to understand what i'm saying.

It will be louder and sound a lot better. How loud depends on the mufflers. Idle will be the same
