Default X pipe question?? Need info!!

Hey guys. i just installed a Corsa Extreme Exhaust on my C6 and i love the sound but its just not as aggressive as i would like. I know that if i install Headers it will make it much louder but i want to wait a couple of months so i can do a whole Heads/Cam/Headers package.

Will an O/R X Pipe make my exhaust louder? Does anyone know which bolts on to a Corsa Extreme Exhaust?

IMO an off road x-pipe will not increase volume of your exhaust, but may make it sound more harsh. In addition, your headers will probably have it's own x-pipe if you include the cats, so it will be wasted money to purchase/install an x-pipe now.

Thanks for the info. i know that most headers already come with cats and x pipe. i was just looking to see if anything would make my exhaust more aggressive for now.

an O/R mid-pipe will rasp like you wouldnt believe with those mufflers.
going catless will increase volume, but the raspy-ness will be unbarable IMHO.
