Would The Corsa Touring Sound Much Different Without The Headers

I too have this set-up, with 1 7/8" Kooks and Tourings. Trust me, unless you're 19 years old, bullet-proof (or think you are) and gonna live forever and have cast iron earballs, the Corsa Tourings are to me a much better choice for guys that have started to do mods like headers w/x-pipe.

This is even more true if you start doing more serious mods like heads/cam, stroker, etc in the future.

When I hear the stock C5 with the Corsa Touring at idle I can't help but think motorboat. Really wish I could hear it with and without the X-Pipe. I like the sound of the Corsas but not when they make that motorboat sound as some configurations/combinations do.

No doubt. I bought the car with the Corsa Touring on it and hated the idle note. Now with the x-pipe and LT's it sounds great. From what I've heard the x-pipe alone on the Corsa touring does significanly reduce the motorboat idle.
