Corsa catback exhaust or Tpis LT headers?
I have begun my modding of my car and have a new intake system on the way. My next move is to the exhaust. Since I just dropped a bag of money on the car I am taking it easy for a few weeks. I am, however, ready to buy an exhaust improvement. I have read that a cat back exhaust will give good hp gains, and have also read that it will not give hp gains and just give better sound. (I have decided that when I buy a catback it will be the Corsa touring.) I have read that headers will give as much as 25hp and as little as 8-9hp. If you were in my situation what would you buy for now realizing that you would get both within a couple months. Also my plan for this car by the middle of this summer is to have a SC on it with around 500rwhp. thanks in advance for any suggestions. :)

If you want power gains, I would suggest the Long Tube headers. If you want sound, looks and a bit of performance then I would suggest going for the cat-back exhaust system.
If you decide on the exhaust system, drop me an email for a great price.
If you are not set on TPIS headers and want to explore some other long tube options, drop me an email as well.

Just did my TTS headers and the sound is much louder than before. I have the A&A exhaust mod and now at WOT it sounds awesome. Of course I'm still hiding money from the wife for my Corsa Indys. ;)

Mine actually sounds a little mellower at low-mid RPM's, and screams like a banshee at WOT! The H-pipe that comes with the TPIS helped I think. Listen to Matt on the headers though...although I'm pleased for the money, I would have spent more for others.

I would wait and do the whole exhaust system at once; longtubes, high flow cats, x-pipe, exhaust. That way when you get the supercharger your exhaust will be ready.
