You should buy a set of kooks and their x pipe (whatever compares to your current ARH setup) and a set of the comparable LG headers and x pipe and see exactly how much of a power difference they make.

My prediction no more than 5-8 whp difference between the three.

Let us know!!

Do it in the name of F.I. Corvettes!!

according to my tuner, he was impressed with the new set up...and yes, I lost a little torque and pu hp....the power difference to me is negligible, its all the noise that's gone, I love it....I have hp to lose!!!
p.s. Those polished headers look gorgeous!!!

Id give up 20 FTLBS and take a 30hp gain.


So all you did was change from long tube headers to exhaust manifolds and you lost 20 FTLBS and picked up 30 hp? An I reading that right.

yup, I tell it like it is, its usually painful for some to hear and I usually get a lotta flak for it too hahahaha, but seriously, I really dig the mod cause I am making just under 900 rwhp and the car is super quiet till I am on it a bit....my kooks were junk, now the noise is reduced substancially...the tinny echoey tick tick ticking that the motor used to make....all gone.

Just Stock C6ZO6 manifolds? What are you running for a x pipe/mid pipe? what is the diameter of the C6Z manifolds at the collector?
