Default Corsa Extreme and Headers (too much)?

I will be ordering exhaust and longtube headers (AR) soon. I am wanting to know if the Corsa extreme paired with headers will be too much?

I have read a few spots in the forum where it was recommended to go with the Corsa sport and headers.

Looking for information who has experience with either of these two setups.

​​​​​​Thank you in advance

Are you running NPP's? I have LG Super Pro's with cats through my stock NPP's and it sounds pretty damn good. I had a cammed C6Z with headers and Corsa Sports and it sounded sweet. I would say my C7 is pretty close (of course I pulled fuse 42 so they are open all the time).

You might want to try this before you spend the coin...

Thanks for the advice but unfortunately​ no NPP on car. I have had the car for 8 months now and it's just too quite for my liking. I was going with the extreme till I read a few comments around the internet that it was not recommend with headers. I like to hear from experience though.

Go for it man, if you like the sound but not over the top to the point it is crazy that is. I have LT LG headers, 3 inch mid pipe with back cats off the car, also with the Borla ATKA cat back on the car.

This set up with the NPP also with the cars set up, it is not much louder than stock until you go into WOT then at that really not much over the stock. But it does has a little diff after market sound to it.

How are the fumes with no cats? Any terrible drone with your set up?

I still have the front cats on the car. But really no drone at all. Plus the car is really not that much louder over the stock set up. Then if you keep it out of sport r track on start up. Other than just a little diff in the tone of the Borla really no diff in sound as far as loudness.
