Blame the downpipes, not the catback!  The catback is innocent in all of this!  One of the many reasons people stick with PPE or LME downpipes ...  Now, if you get rid of the Corsa, putting the OEM back in might be the best thing.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

No way shodded...my car sounds very close to stock with just catless downpipes and stock cat back....the biggest change in exhaust sound comes from the mufflers

Have to say, have yet to hear a 3.5 EB that I thought sounded good. Even my neighbors pickup sounds horrible. :(
Quite a shame.

I have the unleashed catless DP, LMS 4+ tune, K&N CAI, NGK plugs and original exhaust and I like the whoosh sound my car makes. I think if you want that throaty sound you have to have a V8 naturally aspirated engine. Gotta embrace the twin turbo sound! The performance is unbelievable and with EBC slotted and drilled rotors and performance pads its like own SHO 2.0. Loving it!

The turbo whistle with the PPE non catted is pretty cool. Turbos spooling up sounds great at low rpms.

Post up a video!

Give it 500-1000 miles, probably will sound a little different after break in.

Yes, i would say the stainless works down pipes are your culprit. I hate the sound of those things. Raspy as hell.
but if you decide to sell the Corsa cb, I got dibs! Lol

I didn't think it was very loud but more goofy sounding..man I hated my sho when it sounded that way

Putting an exhaust on these cars is like having an ugly baby...you force yourself to love it because you made it
