thinking of getting a mantzel inlet manifold on my corsa gsi, at the moment its got a viper induction kit and full grp A zorst, after 3k it has a BEAST Intake roar and the exaust sounds nice, not to loud or too quiet... until i rev past 4k by which it sounds like a aeroplane taking of 
how will it sound after fitting new manifold?? as i heard the reason the corsa sounds so good with induction kit is coz of all that long unessasary pipe work, which is taken out wen new inlet is fitted???

Well Paul Belsham had a wicked note from his K+N C16 with exhaust etc. Donna had a Piper X and that sounded good too. But Donna lost the really power noise that the standard inlet manifold + ind kit had.
It it still pretty loud, but nothing like it used to be.
Get Throttle bodies and the sound gets better though

the sound is down to the inlet and the valves etc so changing it would change the sound as would changing the actual filter material

Who cares if the roar goes?? The extra horses will more than make up for this

They hear you coming and think, 'Nova  '..............
My car makes a nice noise which sounds powerful, not like a Nova or Cav with a cherry bomb
