Welcome to Corvette 101 :)

If you have an A4 (torque=torque converter), this is the easiest method without going into the engine. Another method would be in installing L/T Headers for both the A4 & the M6. Don't forget about the air intake, such as the Vortex or the Blackwing etc., This should be your first mod.

Then your next step would be to join Modoholics Anonymous :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hopefully you're not expecting to gain much torque from the exhaust. I think the biggest dyno numbers I've seen for a Corsa were something like 7hp and a similar torque gain. You'll love the sound, though, and you may perceive a bigger gain than you'll actually get. I love my Corsas.
