Too Loud
Does anyone have any idea how to quiet the Corsa SPorts down a little? I have headers on now and it got much louder. I like the sound but can get annoying with the added power. I am thinking of putting back on the stock exhaust. Help me decide.

An X-Pipe is suppose to moderate the sound. Never use one myself.

I think the high flow cats and the headers made it way to loud for me. You can not change to the touring version since my X pipe is part of my Dynamaxx system. I would need to go back to an H pipe.

Hard choice
only way to quiet them down, is to dump them or try the touring resonators. I have magnaflows and kooks, plus a cam and it's a great sound but not loud at all. No cabin resonance of any kind. I've heard the sports at a vette gathering and they are really loud. I don't know you can stand it. You've really got to like noise to want the sports.
Good luck with your changes.

C6nut,
I would suggest adding two 'resonators', one on each pipe next to the transmission. this will introduce minimal restriction but will reduce the sound comming from the headers that is being introduced to the mufflers. Just my 2c. Good luck. Dollarbill
