I am considering this combination.
Will they mate up without customizing?
I am looking for super quiet inside but loud outside and at WOT.
I was thinking this would be perfect.

Please let me know your thoughts...
I'd love some sound clips if there are any out there with LT headers.

I like all the enthusiasm in this forum for our Australian built beasts.

NOPE not gonna line up. definitely need to do some customizing. I got the long tubes and next tuesday i'm getting a new custom exhaust made up for it. I'll put some sound clips on when I get done. Ask around, go to a good shop and get a quote for a custom exhaust you can get the sound you want and I guarantee it will be cheaper. if you want to buy and bolt up yourself. then you have to go with the kooks x-pipe. I recommend Maryland speed I got my Long tubes and rotofab from them, great prices. then you can bolt on any axle backs. but again I do recommend if you don't go with the whole kooks setup at least get the LT's and have a custom shop make you something.

I bet it will sound super sexy!
Let me know when you put it on.
I'm thinking of doing this 1st week of July.:driving:

I hear Corsa tips aren't coming out far enough so I may try the custom route and add three inches.

Where will i FIND more gains?
Long tube headers to stock axle back?
or
Mid length headers to Corsa Catback?

I doubt a custom job at a shop can produce the No Drone result I'm wanting though...

i think we will get more hp gain with LT's and corsa so we dont have drone .. i was thinking of having a shop do a custom exhaust for me but i know id have drone and there is 0% with corsa so to me its worth the money and sound ..i cant wait ...we would still get a nice gain with the kooks mid headers also ..were u planning to run with cats or no?

I have the SLPs + Corsa and I like it very much. Sounds like a race car at WOT. Can be heard at 2000 rpms during cruise, but no drone.

No smell here, but I had them installed by New Era Performance and they used some sealant to make sure there were no leaks at the engine.

I've noticed a significant price difference from SLP thru Kooks to ARH with DT in the middle.

SLP is using 409 SS, ARH is using 304. I hit up the ARH folks and they mentioned rusting etc for the SLP. I would think that would be an issue for y'all Northern'rs who have bad winters.

I haven't research Kooks or DT for SS type. One member mentions ignore negative quality comments on SLP.

I'm trying to see who has the best quality for the price. ARH are awfully expensive.

The SLPs I have are coated.

You can also go with shorty kooks and x pipe i believe will bolt up to the Corsa.You will lose at little power over LTs but it depends what other modes your wanting to do. Livernois has a video sound clip on the "Tube", GXP thou.

We have shorty headers and high flow cats going into the Corsa X-Style Crossover and catback.

Do you have a sound clip? Id love to hear the SLP LTs an Corsa.

I just installed my Corsa an loving the sound of it now but could be louder, Ive ordered the SLP LTs so i hope ive made the right choice. Would love to hear yours or anyone else with the SLP LTS n Corsa..
