these are the headers I’m looking into getting and hopefully they bolt right on to my corsa system.

I've run speed engineering headers on all my cars for the last 5 years... they're a great buy for the money and fitment was top notch before they changed the design. I hear the newer ones are a little worse with the o2 placement but cant say for sure.

Another advantage to the speed engineering is if you run their off road X it provides all 3 combinations to make whatever exhaust work (pre 08 ls2/ls3, 09 up ls3, and z06/zr1 3 inch).

I was trying to avoid getting there x pipe to be honest that’s why I was asking about the bolting straight on to the corsa system but I’ve heard good things about their x pipe.

You need to clarify what you mean by “Corsa System”.
By default they make axle backs. They also make x pipes which most do not typically buy because they are a waste of money since there is little to no gain in swapping mid pipes.
The smarter play is to run their axle backs and swap the midpipe when you go to longtubes.

yea you would change out the x pipe when you went with longtubes, hence why most people don’t go with a midpipe when on stock headers.

PS: not all grand sports had x pipes. 12/13’s did as well as some other differences in the mid pipe. Doesn’t mean it was for HP though.

Not trying to be a negative Nancy, but be careful with Speed Engineering headers. I have heard a few people say they worked for them, but my experience with them on my z06 was terrible. No matter what I tried/how I tried to clearance them, they wouldn’t fit. Ended up returning them and ordered Texas Speed headers as I had them on my base and they fit great.
