Installed ARH headers w/Borla axle back = WOW! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Jeffro19 · 11-03-2010, 11:34 PM

I just got finishing installing the ARH headers to go with my Borla axle back S type mufflers. It has a little louder idle but when I first took it for a drive the sound was amazing! Sounds awesome going through the gears. I am very pleased with the fitment with the ARH headers. Does anyone here have the same setup as I do? I would like to hear your feedback as well.

Jeffro19 · 11-04-2010, 12:16 AM

I will post a video as soon as I can.

How much sound increase? I have the Borla S axle back as well, but I am ordering kooks...I've always wondered what the sound would be with only headers and axle back

Jeffro19 · 11-04-2010, 07:39 AM

It is a pretty significant sound increase over just the axle back. I had the axle back on before my headers. The borla mufflers come alive after installing the headers. Sounded much better than was imagining.

issues with drone?

Jeffro19 · 11-04-2010, 10:36 AM

I did not drive it much last night but didnt notice any drone. I will drive more tonight and let you know.

The Borla/ARH combo is a good setup. They both make a quality product, glad to see you are enjoying them!

2010SS6SPD, Thanks for choosing ARH. I hope you enjoy the system to the fullest extent. All the best!

Glad to hear that. I just installed the kooks long tubes with cats and have a magnaflow cat back, no drone sound is awesome

M6HuggerSS · 11-04-2010, 08:36 PM

thanks for confirming the great sound....

i replaced a crappy set of headers on my C5Z06 with the ARH set-up and couldnt be more pleased (unless they were free)
they will get my business again.
