I have them and I'm extremely satisfied. Look great, fit great, excellent performance, not hard to install and made my Magnaflow sound awesome. Don't forget to get a tune afterwards to take full advantage of the power they add. Plus, you'll probably get better mpg's, too. Make sure you get the O2's hooked up properly or you'll have a few problems.

I have the streets on my ZO6 and I am very happy with them. A somewhat easy installation as far as the headers, x-pipe and cats go. Took more time to remove the exhaust, exhaust manifolds, etc. Installed new plugs, wires and had it dyno tuned. Haven't noticed any increase in MPG as it's just to hard to stay under 3500/4000 RPM in each gear. Love the sound. Can't really address the sound issue, as the car was loud to begin with. I think you will like them.

I installed LG Streets. It was not hard, but I stretched it into an all day job, as a first timer. I think it has been one of my best mods. I was running Corsa Indy catbacks for a couple of years and the headers made more difference than the catbacks did. They made a awesome improvement on the catbacks alone. You will be very happy.
I cannot comment on the mpg, because I too have learned to shift at a little higher rpm now, but it did save me the CAG mod...

The idle will sound deeper and more powerful, cruise probably won't change much, I think my car is slightly quieter, but when you get on it, it will be fantastic. As far as my mentioning improved mpg's, under normal driving I too like to hear the exhaust more so mpg is about the same or slightly worse. On a 2500 mile trip though, I was still averaging 29-30 at 75 mph avg for the trip. A few times I saw even higher than that. All that power and commuter car mpg's, WOW! Most people don't believe me, especially when they hear the exhaust.

you will be very loud with the corsa pace cars and any header at wot .at cruise the corsas sound tame no drone at 1600 to 1700rpm a nice drone at 3000rpm about 100mph in my a-4 with 3.42 gearing. just sold my pace tigersharks not because i didnt like them the sound was awesome but im reducing the car weight for drag racing and they are a bit heavy at 27lbs per side as compared to the ti's about 14lbs per side. bite the bullet and do headers and corsas at same time it will be a lot easier to line up the tips
