Nope. Corsas are great because they have no drone.

Identical setup, except I have no cats. No drone. Good choice.

It's a cabin resonance that manifests itself around 1500 rpms, and sometimes will actually vibrate the plastic trims pieces in the interior.

We got XS Stainless LT's, a X-Pipe welded in place of the cats on the stock h-pipe and the stock TI Catback and absolutely no drone whatsoever and the exhaust note is crystal clear!!!!

I just installed Corsa Touring and there is absolutely ZERO drone, quite on the freeway, and a loud exotic sound at WOT. It's great!

Yes. It is a loud "moan" that resonates throughout the cabin and will annoy you to a point that it feels like it penetrates your very being.

My Corsa Indy's have no drone but will hurt you if you are behind me at WOT!!
LT headers, HF Cats (basically no cats), x-pipe, heads and cam.
Definately gets attention when you stand on it.
