Corsa or Headers?
Preparing for spring upgrades for my '13 ZL1 Vert and could use some guidance....
I am planning on doing the Lingenfelter 630HP (Stage 1) package but also was considering an exhaust upgrade. I'm trying to decide between the Corsa exhaust (recommended by LPE) or headers/hi-flo cats. The goal primarily being a more aggressive exhaust (not obnoxious) and no drone (my wife still wants to take trips in the car ). FYI, I do have the MTW controller with the stock exhaust and it still seems a bit too tame. Appreciate any suggestions, pros/cons... |

I'd go with headers first. With headers you would get the most HP gain out of the exhaust system, plus the exhaust note you're looking for .

I just did stainless works long tubes with their chambered exhaust and I love it.

So now, I have moved to Jannetty 75RWHP. And Pfdat headers. Cannot wait to get it installed over the winter. Do your research.

Start with headers and work back. Headers give you sound and power, an exhaust just sound which after headers you may not even need or want.

Headers ditch the Cats and use the exhaust controller. You'll be surprised how quiet it is and how loud it can be. We do road trips with them closed for the wife I run with them open as a noob repellent!

I have headers with no cats and the stock exhaust. It's crazy loud with the flaps open. Sounds great flaps closed too. No drone at all going down the road.
