car has K&N CAI, 3.90 gears, UDP's, aluminum D/s, and either a 75 shot or 125 shot (read video description).

its very loud, and very deep. its got a quality to it thats very rare on exhaust systems. you can really feel it; its not just a low sound, its deep, a powerful sound that you can feel. it goes without question that these clips do it absolutely NO justice. no microphone recorded clip can properly show how they sound, but i think the second clip with the 125 shot more accurately depicts the full-throttle fury.

That sounds great! I didn't know that was Norse's car, I see him stalking around on these forums sometimes.

I'm looking at the MAC X-pipe on Brenspeed right now for the choice of being catless or not. I havent heard any X-pipe's but the O/R H didn't do it for me when I heard a clip on the internet.

I am really not sure if I should go catless or not. With my luck i'd get pulled over and the officer would hop-a-squat and right me a bigass ticket.

I have 'em right now and love 'em! There is noticable drone at 2,000 RPMS, but I actually like drone.

They are noticably louder than the stockers at idle and WOT.

Also, they are just a bit quieter overall than what I want, but they are definitley worth the money.

I love the sound of theMACs, nice deep tone and rumble.
But thedrone that exists between 1600-2000 RPM is just horrendous and unbearable.
But it is all in personal preference, some are bothered by drone others are not.

does off road x pipe just mean w/o cats? if so, how does that make O2 sensors act? will it throw anything off and screw them up?

Yes it just removes the cats.
As I understand it you will throw a code and get the check engine light on, this can be fixed my getting MIL eliminators or getting a custom tune.

I am a little confused, AmericanMuscle4.6GT told me to get a catted X-Pipe, but from what I am reading X-pipes give you a higher pitched sound, is this true?
I want to make the Corsas louder but also give it a tad deeper tone; do I need an H-pipe?
I am going to check youtube for some sound clips.
Anyone have any suggestions.
