The CTI should produce the most power and torque, and there haven't been ANY complaints that I've seen from anyone who has it.

You can find it on thier site, http://www.customtubesinc.com. It's cheaper without the cat. Here's a pic:

*Edit: Just realized it said "one more downpipe" not header.

you really dont want a catless DP installed by a dealer, they cannot remove emission eqpt unless it is being replaced for warranty....

I had it done thru CTI as an option
I would put a cat on for warranty unless you have a cool dealer beyond cool
If you have the dealer modivy the cat they will probably void your emissions and powertrain wty

***** builds the CTI headers to order, so expect at least a week to 10 days for delivery, but you get an excellent product. worth the extra price and wait IMO. I gained about 13 hp and 5 tq with my setup (before tuning, 26 hp/ 12 tq total gains after), but it definately woke the car up. I've got the dp w/cat and it's loud enough already, can't imagine how loud it would be without...

hahahahaha!
I honestly think it will sound good with the Corsa Touring, however.
