Headers, Offroad Pipe, Corsa Xtreme
and cam is just toooooo obnoxious. So loud!! Im going to have to tone it down. Maybe throw in a resonator each side where the cats would have been?

It's the Corsa extremes that really make it unbearable and real bad DRONE! 
Believe that the "Resonators" will do NOTHING like you think they will - I know I tried!
Best option is a dual mode exhaust or queter mufflers and electric cutouts - B&B Fusion's are one awesome way to go!
Thanks,Matt

I have the same kinda thread going right now. Fully built car will catless lts and strait pipes. I'm going to have to go to a full muffler system to quiet it down. Resonators or glass pack mufflers won't to squat. I'm going with the corsa Indy pace cars. The extremes are even too much in a built car.

Took it for a long drive today. Initial start up would wake the dead. Not to loud on easy takeoff....lumpy idle at lights. Light acceleration fairly quiet...mid acceleration more than loud...harder acceleration insanely loud. ZERO drone at any speed. Easy to talk to passenger at freeway speed unless I accelerate hard.
Doesn't pop or burble on deceleration like it used to, which I kinda liked.
Does sound a bit raspy at certain revs...is that because of cat delete? Would a resonator like this help remove the rasp?

Well....I added this http://www.adrenalinr.com/productdet...?productID=538 (polished) to my system and wow...bought the sound right down to a more reasonable level.
Nice lumpy idle thats deep and still has a nice volume, certainly wont annoy the neighbors...and just sounds fantastic on acceleration.
Better than I imagined. ZERO drone as I'd expect with Corsa. Wasn't sure if cam and headers would induce the drone monster but thankfully, it didnt.
No rasp, not even a hint

Speaking of drone........
That system is the reason I went to Corsas in the first place. PO had them installed. I ended up selling the Fusions and buying the Xtreme's while coming out ahead money-wise. Now I'm thinking about going to Ti's..
