Torn b/w headers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

fieldgoal00 · 07-29-2009, 12:05 PM

I'm having a difficult time trying to decide on what complete exhuast system I want to put on my fiancee's car. I like how Tag's car sounds with his full Stainless Works kit, however I see more and more people going with the ARH headers instead of Stainless Works. However I haven't heard another agressive note like the one from Tag's car come out of anyone elses car with a set of ARH headers. I also would like to keep the whole system the same from one manufacturer instead of having headers from one , x-pipe from one and an exhaust from another. What do you guys think?

ZZcamaro · 07-29-2009, 12:08 PM

With the ARH you can put any exhaust on the back that you want...that is one big benefit. You are able to choose any sound you want.

I have ARH on my car, and I promise you it is as aggressive if not more than TAG's car. His sounds awesome too. I have almost straight pipes and it sounds like a big block....I have also installed Borlas onto the ARH kit, and they are not as loud but have a great deep tone to them.

That is one thing the Stainless works system cannot do, you have to use their full system.

I am about to put an SLP Powerflo onto my car because it was too loud!!

Hope that helped some.

If you have any questions or need pricing/ordering info please get in touch, i will set you up!!

It believe Borla will be bringing LTs to the market soon, so that may be an option for a full exhaust from one company.

I think TAG's car sounds great. It might even be a little too loud for my tastes, however, I'm sure that's only a muffler swap away. ARH and Corsa almost seem, to me, like they have perhaps an indirect working relationship because I see so many of those combinations on 'Vettes, and even on tuners working with Camaro. I don't know why that is, but it seems to be pretty predominate.

I don't think you can go wrong with Stainless Works since they have a complete exhaust that's designed to work together. I haven't read little to any complaints as far as products go.

Doug Thorley Headers offers a complete package that sounds real nice and 1/3 of the price if you get on the list now. Their products pull impressive numbers on the dyno too. Check 'em out in the Vendor thread.

fieldgoal00 · 07-29-2009, 12:53 PM

What about Kooks or BBK Headers? And as far as power is concerned, do ARH still have the best results for their headers?

ZZcamaro · 07-29-2009, 12:57 PM

The ARH have the best numbers so far.....The short type headers will never come close in the power gains.
Kooks are a close second, but ARH provides the full kit and it will work with any axle-back system and the Kooks is designed to fit their own system

fieldgoal00 · 07-29-2009, 12:59 PM

How do you think BBK will compare when they reveal their long tubes? I plan on using long tubes, no cats, x-pipe and exhaust. My fiancee's previous car was a mustang gt with no cats, bbk x-pipe and exhaust.

I am ordering Stainless Works full exhaust today! Just like Tags but without cats. This exhaust is so awsome.

fieldgoal00 · 08-03-2009, 11:59 AM

please post a video of it when you have it installed, i would like to see how it sounds without cats.

Georger · 08-03-2009, 12:43 PM

Hello guys just to educate everyone about Kooks Custom Headers our system is designed to work with all of the aftermarket Catbacks. As well as our own. We also offer a corsa connection pipe in a catted and off road version. I hope this helps you guys out because we see allot of threads that say you can only run our axle back with our system.

Hope this answer's a few questions.

Very nice, I had Kook's headers on my 05 and 06 GTO and had great results.
I'm also thinking about keeping my stock catback that connects up with a GMPP axle back.
I'm thinking about keeping the stock resonators in place because I don't want it to get too loud.
So this might be the setup for me.
