Getting headers on A6 do I need.......
I was told if I didn't get the Corsa A6 H-pipes with the resonators it will drone like no end. My consern is the with the No drone H pipe it will be to tame. Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this issue? The headers are to add preformance and goog sound

I run LG Pro Long Tubes with their high flow cats, their 3" X-pipe, and the adapters to the stock catback and it sounds good. No Drone.

It's all personal preference with the sound. I have A6 LT's and bullets and the drone doesn't bother me. But I can see why it would bother most. I don't drive on the interstates much, and that's where it is the worst with my set-up.

No drone and sounds mean.
H-pipe is only little gain over the resonators (H-pipe is still bigger pipe)
Hope this helps

Like Glen said, the only headers that will mate to the Corsa's H pipe and still have cats are the Kooks. You have to buy their cats that are designed to mate to the Corsa H pipe. BB headers will mate, but you'll lose the cats. I have LG's mated to a Zoomers x-pipe with cats, resonators, and Corsa Sports, but it's custom.

I have Kooks headers with high flow cats, which mate up perfectly with the Corsa Exhaust #14167, which is their model specific for the A6 transmission. This Corsa model has the resonators, they sound great, and there is NO drone, no fabricating is necessary, everything fits fine...

I have the same set up as TRJ. These part numbers will all mate up with no issues and NO DRONE !!!! Kooks headers ( 6600EX ) Cats ( 6115CC ) and Corsa Sports ( 14167 ). I also had my headers Jet Hot coated. Throw in a CAI, 160 stat and a tune and you will be a happy camper !

Are those stock sizes or wider, and is that the charcoal or black powder coating? Great looking and sounding Corvette!
