Headers

[EvilZL1]

Next month I'm putting on headers and I was given the opinion of another fellow C5 member. I was originally going with ARH 1 7/8 LT headers with 3" connection pipes. His opinion was to get the whole system including the off-road xpipe to connect to my factory exhaust. I never knew the difference in sound or performance that the x pipe would make. Any thoughts? His setup on his C5 is ARH no cats, xpipe all the way to his stock muffers but not connected. He has it controlled by a noweeds system and it sounds amazing. I've seen the ARH with xpipe setup on phastek for the SS but not for the ZL1. I'm wondering if it's any different ? I will provide the link. Thank you

If you decide to get NoWeeds Diverters I'd save money and not get the X-Pipe.

Funny thing is that I plan to do noweeds and the corsa 3.0 with black 4" tips.

I just had Kooks 2" LT and 3" Corsa no drone quiet driving down the highway go wot and the Camaro sounds so pissed off it is sick LOVE IT THANKS NATE AT DREAM MAKERS FOR THE EXCELLANT ADVICE!!!!!

The plan was ARH no cats 1 7/8 with noweeds ending with the corsa 3.0 system

I have Kooks headers, off-road pipes and the corsa and I love it. No drone at all on the highway and as stated above, its insanely aggressive when you get on the throttle at around 2800+ rpm. Be sure to post a video if you go with the noweeds, I want those so bad.

Here is a dyno video that seriously doesnt do justice but should be about the same sound. I have a video from the rear but its really bad quality.

If only I could hear it on the road

Yea, I'm back in AFG until October but I'll be in Nashville when I'm back if you want to wait I had headers and high flow cats with the stock cat back for the first 7 months or so and this set up is far superior in my opinion. It's quieter at cruising and a monster when you get on the fun pedal.

hmmmm I would not spend $895 for noweeds if you running catless arh with corsa 3" system.

I would spent that $895 for soemthing that will add more HP the sound will be there without it and I can't imagine picking up any real HP.

then again to some people louder always = better. I actually prefer the sound of the corsa's to strait pipe though.

I was going with the noweeds to control the exhaust after getting rid of my NPP exhaust. My main focus right now was to get the headers and go from there

I have Kooks and no weeds and love it.
