Headers!!!!
Hi everyone, just to share with you my experience installing obx headers on my Vette .
I just installed headers, I kept the stock pipes, and let me tell you that it was very easy. I just took off the cover rails, spark plugs, wires, oil dipstick, both sides air pump tubes and that was it. Drivers side always is a pain, but when I was ready to take off the stock manifol, was kind of hard, but I made it, I mean, I just was playing and moving, rolling the manifold to be able to take it off. Passenger side was very easy.
Does anybody know who long I can wait to get my car tuned after the headers installation?
Thank you guys

you can go to a local tuner and get a dyno tune. I have the BBK shortys and Vararamn and z06 manifold and did a mail order tune with ECS. Definitely pulls harder and smoother throttle response. I would recommend for an inexpensive upgrade
