Bolt on help!
Okay, so I know there are a million threads and posts about bolts on for a c5z but I'm looking for a legit answer because I'm buying this week.. So therefore, what are the best headers period for my 04 z06?? Best number to the ground as well as loud(noise means nothing, but I like my car to scream) from what I've read it's FLPS, kooks, stainless works, and a few others? Help me out with the right size and power number with tune and dyno so I can buy them. Also, best bolt ons besides cam or anything above it.. Should I get an under drive pulley or no.. Like best intake, should I get the fast manifold with just bolt ons, uhm best size pipes and headers that fit.. Open or not? Etc. help out forum junkys
I am looking at 2inch or 1 7/8 looks headers with the kooks catless x pipe to 2.5 borla no muffs.. Vararam intake.. Maybe underdrive pulley, throttle body, porting, and radials?
Any numbers or advice or sizes and opinions will help!
Thanks
Ps lost my 468rwp goat:/ bought an 04 z

I prefer the LG longtubes header system.they fit very well and sound amazing..as far as exhaust goes you won't gain much for performance on the c5z as the Ti Exhaust system flows really well, the only thing you stand to gain is sound, again I chose the Corsa indy pace car system and I love it, the car sounds amazing. I also have the Vararam intake setup with the power duct and you can deft feel the difference alone with that. what do you plan on doing with the car?

I'm going to cam it this summer. Just want some noise and pull with a good tune. I had one of the fastest cam only cars around where I lived. But it's gone for the vette. I'm not satisfied with the exhaust the car came with and I'm really missing my goat. The sound of my goat was amazing. I had 1 7/8 kooks headers to 3 inch off road x pipe to 4 inch dour wall spintech tips. It was loud. I'm not worried about too much power now but as far as sound and good tune.. I need my car to be louder and I want to know which headers get the most power? And which headers are loud on a c5z? Right now I have borla no muffs with slp headers and borla catted x pipe and it makes me angry lol it's quiet and doesn't pick up. Would help with a vararam, good tune and tires. I have a good tuner. Just need a good loud set of headers and exhaust. Thanks for the reply. As you can see I like my sound a certain way. Kinda **** haha
