Default Corsa Extreme

Anybody running CORSA Extreme with headers on a Grand Sport A6? Curious about the 1500-1800 rpm range. Thanks for the input.

I'm not but I rode in one with the Extreme and no headers. Sounded very nice and no drone that I heard.

Thnaks for the replies. I think drone is very subjective. My CORSA sports had what some might consider drone in the 1500-1800 rpm range with an A6. Wondering whether the Extreme is the same or considerably different.

I have Corsa Extreme on 2007 6 speed with headers. Guys are always rolling down their window to hear it, then letting me know they like the sound.

I assume that you are pleased with the set-up? Inside your vehicle you can still carry-on a conversation with a passenger? Long trip on the highway, No issues?

I have an 05 A4 with headers, hi-flo cat and Corsa Sport. Had the CS before the headers. With the headers the CS is much louder on startup, pull away and accelleration. For cruising it is much softer than before, virtually quiet, which I find interesting. No drone ever. Not sure whether the pattern will be similar for the Corsa Extreme, but thought I'd mention.
