Questions regarding future exhaust direction (S/C + Corsa)
Hi guys
I have a Corsa exhaust and I'm in love with it. I would prefer to keep it. I am also planning on going S/C in the next year or two (gotta get married first and need a suit) and would prefer to open up the rest of the exhaust. I am planning on keeping the car catted and resonated, however scanning through the forum reveals either a lack of information or some conflicting reports, as well as some things I'd like to clarify, so here are my questions. Thanks for taking the time to read/answer them. 1. Will an S/C increase the volume of the Corsa without a header, just cause there's increased flow? So if I keep the rest of my exhaust stock, will it make a difference? 2. Will an EL header be louder than a UEL, or vice versa? As much as I enjoy hearing the subie rumble, it just doesn't suit the look of my car at all, so I would prefer to go EL. 3. Cold start noise will be an issue in my future home. Is there something you can put on the exhaust tips during a cold start and take it off once the rpms drop? Silencers? A wet towel? Start in the garage? I've heard about disabling cold starts but also heard that it's not necessarily the best thing. ![]() Last edited by StraightOuttaCanadaEh; 09-14-2017 at 08:47 PM. |

With any header you'll have to tune your car with either OFT or Ecutek so you won't get CEL. I believe there's a way to eliminate the cold start with tunes. I'm in the same boat as you with about the cold start. I don't wanna piss off my neighbors when I do get a header.

Eliminating cold start is not a issue as long as you are catless from my understanding.

Header volume will be dependent on whether you get it with or without a cat, not necessarily EL vs UEL. I've seen people who complain that headers made their car too loud go to the JDL Ultra Quiet Front pipe, so that + catted headers might keep it quiet enough for you? Only real way to know would be to find someone with that setup though...

Do you think FI on its own will cause the Corsa to get louder by messing with its noise leveling (or whatever it's called) design? |

That I don't know. I have little to no experience with FI. You could always try digging through some of the member's car journals and seeing if you come across a user who has a similar setup, then ask for some videos...and hope they are still active xD.

lol yes I tried. Did the google method as well. Very very little info. There's one guy local to me that has catless EL headers and a corsa but that would be useless to me cause I'm planning to stay catted. Still curious to hear what that monster sounds like so I hope I bump into him at a meet soon

On a cold start I can actually hear some windows rattling (UEL headers) ![]() I've not changed the cold start because it's there for a reason. But... to save the neighbours too much pain I simply start the car, put it in gear immediately and then slip the clutch to slowly get out the parking. It's simple, costs nothing and rpm seems to drop quite quickly doing this + I simply get out on the street straight away. Job done for me. Costs nothing and I get to keep the loud exhaust ![]() Edit: I've had catless headers (not so loud) and then added catless catback (made it super loud).
