exhaust too quiet? or just right?

i'm fully interested in the Corsa exhaust (esp. because of those premium tips). I don't mind paying the extra $$, but what i've been hearing is that the exhaust is very quiet.

I still want an exhaust that turns heads (and is heard pretty well like any other aftermarket exhaust).

How are these WITH headers and without headers (does it make much of a difference), please advice anyone that has heard these for themselves, thanks.

Headders make alot of difference in sound. Usually better and louder. Especially if you take the cats off. I think the best is Jet hot LT's, hooker ORP, then a hooker cat back. Sounds very sweet. Wish I had the hooker muffler on mine.

Add a cam and even the quieter exhaust systems will rumble and turn heads

bolt-ons, jet hot long tubes, 2.5" true duals, dynomax bullets, turndowns before the axle-best sound I've ever heard out of an f-body(lt1), but I'm biased because its my car!!!

Honestly, some people on here have said its too loud for them. I had a cutout before with the manifolds and cats and that wasn't loud enough for me.

During normal cruising or light/normal acceleration its not loud at all, but when you put your foot into it, it really opens up.
