Hi guys, I got me in April 2006 a C5 2001 AT4 coupe, I finished my first project on it and I guess once you start its hard to stop getting addicted to mods. I will post next week pics of what I added to my vette. This being said.
My next thing is I wanna upgrade my stock exhaust from header to the mufflers to have more hp but at the same time if possible keep the noise down unless needed . I am looking to get the whole package header, X-pipe, etccc

So any help will be appreciated.

Ramez

LG headers will give you the most HP and are probably the most expensive. For a more moderately priced set of headers, x-pipe and high flow cats, look at the Dynatechs. Good quality and a decent gain in power. After that, the pick of a cat back exhaust is one that you probably should listen to the various systems before deciding.

Lots of good choices on headers out there and you really should listen and go for a few rides in some Vettes with exhaust changes out there to make the choice that sounds best for your tastes. I have run of the mill TPIS headers through a home made X-pipe that dumps out into my Corsa Pace setup and it is loud
