Default Need exhaust advice

Well after the cam the car is just too loud with Corsa pace cars and catless headers but not loud enough at idle with the stock Ti's. What exhaust would be the next step up from the Ti's? Any sound clips would be great! Thanks in advance!

From everything I have heard Corsa Pace Cars are pretty quiet....I don't think there is really anything in between them and Ti's.

I know the Corsa Touring are quieter but was curious to how something like a B&B Route 66 compared to the Ti. With the Corsa Pace car it is way illegal from about 2100rpm and on up, unless I'm participating in a NASCAR race

Do you have a partition? They do a great job killing some of the interior noise from the exhaust. Also......put some cats on that thing to quiet it a bit.

Yep got a partition. No cats right now. This fall I am going to replace my catless LG street headers with catted LG Pro headers.

Corsa Touring should give you the same tone with less volume. B&B has a Rte. 66 system that's similar, put the tone will obviously be different. You could add cats, too. Partition will help for sure.

I don't think the upgrade to the LG Pros would be worth the money. Just stick with what you've got and add Hi-flow cats. I have the exact combo, and had a Magnaflow catback, and no cats.(Too quiet) Got the Corsa Pace Cars, and it was too loud. I called LG, and they sold me the cats, and even threw in the shorty pipes/clamps to convert my older style Pros. The sound volume went down considerably, but it's still pretty loud.

Seconded, I've got the GHL bullets + dynatech headers and it screams like a banshee at WOT but sounds stock when you're cruising in 5th or 6th.

I have the LG LTs with no cats and Corsa Pace car catback. Im fine with how loud it is, but the wawawawawa its make during sweeps through the RPM range reminds me of an 1985 chevy truck with cherry bombs. I like loud, but what catback will give me GOOD loud?
