L99 headers with stock exhaust - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Zacks2ssl99 · 07-09-2013, 05:41 PM

As the title says I'm new to the forums but I've always read on them for advise but I have a question has anyone ran arh,kooks, or stainless works headers with stock l99 h pipe and exhaust? I keep debating to go with full exhaust for cheap or slowly build the exhaust with top name parts!

I went with the ls3 exhaust. My tuner had a couple take offs so he swapped the big l99 for the ls3 and it worked perfect. Love the sound and of course no drone. I have kooks and hi flows.

Yep, Plenty of people will run headers with the stock exhaust. There is not much benefit of changing out the exhaust, so invest in a set of headers and if you can, try to get your hands on a LS3 system without the giant resonator.

Thanks for the replies and are y'all talking about the ls3 conversation kit?

No, just a stock take-off catback exhaust. The LS3 catback has an actual H pipe and bullet resonators rather than that giant thing they call a resonator on the L99 system.

I ran Kooks long tubes + their cats and the remaining stock L99 exhaust.

Not much louder at idle, but noticeable in upper RPMs and definitely noticeable at WOT.

With the stock exhaust there will be no drone. Drone comes from the mufflers, not the headers and cats.

Here is my car with ARH headers, cats, tune and Corsa cat back:
