As for the OBX cat back vs. Corsa, dimensionally identical (may be even possible to mix and match components from one to the other) but internals of resonators and internals of mufflers were different - OBX being traditional perforated pipe with housing filled with sound insulation vs. OBX with helm-Holtz chambers.
Again, no complaints over OBX.
As for the steering column clearance we hear periodically, I think this is due to steering coupler location variance on steering intermediate shaft depending on the year. My 94 coupler is almost right up against the steering box and had no issue clearing the header. Earlier year cars seem to have coupler close to the middle of the intermediate shaft.

Common issue with all headers for our cars as I understand it. Had to dimple my header too. Not a big issue.
