New Headers Installed
Replaced the Lingenfelter shorties with Kooks headers, high flow cats and x-pipe. Some issues with the 02 sensors, but easily corrected and all is well. This system really makes the Borla Stingers.......sting.

"C6 Z06 owners with Kook Headers BEWARE:
This weekend while enroute to a show, members advised me that my car was smoking heavily from the right front fender area. After getting the car back home I found that the transmission line was leaking fluid on the right header. There is limited room for the header and the line to co-exist. When my headers were installed, the installer used zip ties to move the lines away from the header. Well the zip ties lasted 11 months and the line laid against the header and rubbed a hole in the line."
"Bottom line is that a proper install, would be re-routing the lines away from the header."
"You might want to check your install to make sure the installer took the time to re-route the lines".
