2014 Stingray || Kooks Longtubes, X pipe, Lashway Tune
Anyone debating whether or not to install longtube headers...check this out:
We had a '14 in this past week for a set of Kooks 1 7/8" Longtubes, uncatted X pipe, and a custom Lashway Motorsports tune. We were unable to baseline the vehicle, so actual gains are an estimate, but we know that the vehicle picked up at least 25 RWHP from headers only. It's probably more like 35, but we're going to remain on the conservative side. Driving the vehicle, you can 100% feel the difference in acceleration, and 0-60 time. We are authorized installers of Kooks products, and usually have inventory in stock. Here are some picture of the parts, install, and dyno. |

just can't get enough

Very nice! Look at that cool exhaust plumbing! And I actually even like it with the red'ed wheels. Even wondered once how that setup would look like on silver.

Thanks for starting this thread. Your guesstimate for the gains is on par to what we have seen on other cars with dyno numbers to back it up.
Thanks again!

That's a sweet looking car, what are the header options for someone who doesn't want to risk running the car without cats due to required state emissions and safety inspections? Also, was the exhaust sound much different after the exhaust was done?

Kooks (and others) make a catted X pipe. We offer both catted and uncatted options depending on where you live. I know the catted option adds several hundred dollars to the tab. Sound was much more noticeable, and for the better. More BITE when revving and about twice the sound at WOT over factory. This was Kooks 1 7/8, no cats, and stock exhaust. Erik@Lashway |

Not only 25+ rwhp added but I bet lighter too. Did you happen to weigh the differences?
