Default X Pipe And Headers

Question for you all. Does the X pipe and or headers increase horsepower. Also, are they both a bolt in job?

Without a doubt Headers will increase HP-and Gas milage as well-and the noise level too! Long tube headers are the way to go.

You will defenantly get more power out of the X-pipe and the headers, but i am not sure if they are a bolt on you would have to check with the type that you are going to get, it should say it in a catalog or online.

They wont increase HP that much on a Z06 until you get into other mods, heads or cam, but the sound is great! I'm selling a set of kooks headers, with and without cats, xpipe and the intermediate pipe if you dont want to spend the money on a brand new set let me know.

The system as a whole wil bolt right in, but the parts wont.

just got done installing kooks headers 1 7/8 and a catless x pipe, on my cousin's supercharged z06, the car was so loud, it was so addicting, we were tearing up the back roads last night it is very loud without cats so try to get a ride with a similar modded one to get a feel for it.
