LG LT's, catted x-pipe, Corsa Sports?
Anyone running this combo? I currently have Bullets with stock manifolds and don't care to make any more road trips with them on. I am going to be doing the LG Pro's soon and am looking at the Corsa Sport system since I do log some miles on my car with the occasional road trip.
I had Corsa Sports on my 2005 GTO and liked how they got whisper quiet on the highway but made some noise at WOT.
How will the Sports sound behind LTs and cats?

The Corsa Sports were not that bad alone with stock manifolds. Since I had American Racing w/cats(I know they're not LTs, but should be silimar) installed yesterday, they're a bit louder, especially the popping during decel. I personally don't mind(I actually like it) and the noise level is acceptable during highway runs. But my wife already hates the exhaust and now with the headers, I will have to remove the Corsa and install my stock cans. Bottom line, I like headers with Sports.... but if you're married, you better check first.

Mine are also ARH but stainless headers pretty much sound the same.
I didnt have any WAF problems and mine is down on loud exhausts. If you have been driving bullets your going to find the Corsa/header combo quieter in most driving situations. They can be downright stealthy if you stay out of it and only real howl when flogging it. They dont drone unless you get into a long uphill situation at a steady low rpm in 5th or 6th. Then you can get a light throb going.
This is a common combination due to its daily driver friendliness and I think you probably have a good shot at finding someone in your general area that you could meet up with to hear the setup in person. Any header combined with the sports will do.

I ran Corsa Sports with headers/cats for a while, but it wasn't for me. At idle it was quiet, but at full throttle is was very loud and high pitched. The volume wasn't really a problem, but the pitch was. I moved to something else pretty quickly. I prefer the B&B RT66 or Magnaflow systems with headers.

I have Dynamax lt headers w/ cats connected to the Corsa Sports....LOVE IT....the Corsa's keep it really comfortable during long hwy drives yet sound awesome on acceleration and deceleration.....its a great setup...btw my wife loves it as much as I do...in fact im getting her her own C6 and she says she MUST have the same sound as mine...I love my wife..

I have the Corsa Sport exhaust behind LGM long tubes and the LPE 403 motor....the 403 makes a huge difference but the entire setup sounds great! It has a deep muscle car sound that turns heads at an idle...I can take it easy and keep it moderately quiet when I'm moving but at WOT it flat blasts!
