Default Speed Engineering Headers with V3si blower

Anyone running the Speed Engineering headers with their blower setup? I've not heard much on them and was wonder if anyone has results on a blower car (specifically LS3)?

Drop the cash on Kooks or something better. It's the small things I noticed switching from SE to my Kooks... My clutch line was basically sitting on a primary with the speed engineering headers. They're MUCH heavier than my Kooks are. I had sealing problems with my SE setup, no issues with Kooks.

I plan on doing an A&A setup here in the next month.

Texas Speed and Performance headers are priced well and fit pretty damn good for the price. The fitment on my CTSV was great and everybody on the forum said they wouldnt fit good. I would bet the fitment on a C6 would be great. I think for a set of 1-7/8 longtubes and catless xpipe its about 850ish

I have SE headers and found them to be very well made, lightweight, and an incredibly easy install on my 2011 GS. The sound is amazing and I damn sure like what they did to the cars performance. I highly recommend them.

@Mcrider is your grand sport auto or manual? Ready to pull the trigger but trying to make sure they will fit with the dry sump.

They're cheap and decent. Fitment on the headers alone, not bad. But the rest of the X-Pipe has been a pain to get lined up and right. The rear section slightly rubs the frame.

I would get Kooks or ARH next, but I am a cheap ***. So unless I find a really good deal on some used. I'll rock the SE for now
