just had headers installed

Finally!!!! have been put off 3 or 4 times for my new corvette central exhaust system install. Today was the day.Got there at 9 this morn, and waited and waited. Kept listening for that new baby cry meaning the job was finished, New headers (headman), true duals, H pipe cross over, new magnaflow mufflers.. and its sweet. Pulled out from the shop, went about 20 feet and nailed it. Woooo Hoooo.You can feel the difference AND hear it. Headed for the 13s this year, maybe even the 12s with some sticky tires and the new cam I have sitting in the garage.

Headers are always a good idea. It is best when you can feel the immediate seat of the pants.

Headers and a free flowing exhaust are a very noticeable improvement on our C4s.

I really like the better sound. I enjoy listening to the motor and especially when giving it some gas.

Keep us posted when you make it to the track.

Have fun.

Stock everything, auto (Z-51) when I took it to the track last fall. 14.1 was best time at just a shade under 100mph. Never could get it to hook up. Had to start off idle or went up in smoke. Worse now with the headers so gonna find some sticky tires. As it sits now, am sure it will finally get into the 13s. Still stock but with the new exhaust on it.
