Default HEADERS??

I'm looking for more exhaust sound. I just added a corsa touring exhaust and wish I'd have gone with the indy. What can I do to get more sound? Will adding long tube headers actually make the car sound a lot louder? And if so, are TPIS a good choice?

Eric :cheers:

Punch holes in the mufflers with a screw driver. :lol:

Sorry could'nt resist. Headers should make it a little louder or meaner sounding.

I'm glad you sad you were kidding because I had a screwdriver in my hand and was about to run downstairs. What else can do besides headers?

Buy the A&A exhaust mod from Andy, that will make it sound a lot better :yesnod:
BTW: A&A is a supporting vendor and you can find his products in the corvette forum mall. You may want to get rocker rails too, they add a nice sense of security.

Headers may give you a slightly deeper tone, but won't add much volume. I wouldn't spend the money on headers if your trying to make the car louder. Sell your touring and get a Pace car or try to trade with someone.
