Default Corsa Extreme Too Loud With LG Street Headers?

Maybe this thread is not too old to revive...

I have LG Street Headers, cats, and x-pipe currently with TI exhaust.I want to go with something louder, but not obnoxious. I was thinking about going to the Corsa extremes, but was curious if it was as loud as this attached video?


I believe the Mic is on the outside of the car. Sounds a bit too loud on that video, but haven't been able to find a good video with what I have. Curious if anyone had the same similar setup I do with Exteremes.

Also, on the Corsa website it states you have to use their x-pipe. Is this BS?

Thanks!

You don't have to us their x-pipe. Can't really comment on loudness since you have a completely different setup than I do.

Corsa Pace's here....tame at idle/cruise, wild at WOT, and QTP cutouts for waking the dead.

As far as xpipes/hpipes, any reputable muffler shop can fab up a system that fits perfect even if it's not Corsa's.

yes it can be that loud if you let it haha, his car is also cammed so that will make it a little louder... it can be fairly quiet when cruising if you allow it but around 2500 rpm and up it starts to open up and can be very loud... and yes it is bs on having to use their x-pipe, I ran mine bolted to the factory h-pipe before switching to longtubes and those bolt up as well... I have xtremes with lg superpros, no cats, cam, etc and if I ever get the damn thing running I'd let you check it out since I'm not too far from you... there are a few meets in the Plano area also, I don't go but surely someone there has something to compare to
