If you really like the corsa sound, I'd suggest a SC kit to retain the factory exhaust. I would be interested to hear a corsa on a turbo car, as it would most definitely sound different. Corsa doesn't use conventional methods when tuning sound in the exhaust, as such it relies on the factory header/front pipe to cancel drone, and keep noise levels in check.

I love the black tips, But couldn't justify the extra cost for me in canada. It was already $1500CAD for the regular version :O
It pops all of the time on overrun In -20c temps. I have the back seats down most of the time just to hear it burble and pop.

As far as headers go, the only one I've heard that works is the FT86SF catted UEL, without ruining all of corsa's R&D. It has more equal length runners compared to most UEL's on the market, and the cat keeps the noise levels in check.
