Default Thoughts on FULL Corsa?

My 26 C8 should arrive right around the end of the year. Once it gets here, I will be putting corsa extremes on it. I want to put headers as well and a cat delete and was looking at Kooks, as I have used them on both of my C7Z’s, but after doing some research, I can’t seem to find if kooks headers will bolt to a cat delete pipe and then to a corsa exhaust. Should I just run corsa headers to the cat delete and then to the exhaust? Future plans for the car are heads, cam, and eventually procharger.

Going to be very loud but we've done plenty of full header back setups!

You can run the Kooks Headers with Corsa Cat Deletes and Corsa Xtreme.

It'll be obnoxiously loud and trigger a CEL unless you use spacers or tune.

Happy to put together a package deal for you - have some in stock too.

This. If you're C8 will have factory NPP, I'd suggest doing the headers and cat delete pipes first, then decide if you still want it any louder.

Full Corsa system from the header back.

Also done systems like Kooks paired with Borla or Corsa.

I am thinking Corsa headers, skinny cats, corsa extremes.
