I just put the Kooks on (X-pipe & hi-flows) and it does have some noise...a little bit of a "flutter" sound...almost like a leak, but no leaks. You get used to it. It will also open up whatever exhaust you have, so be ready for additional noise there as well...I like that part, but some may not...you really hear the engine more. The car feels really good and responsive, netted about 30rwhp gain with headers/exhaust.

I actually was going to trade my C6 for a C2 I found, so I cancelled my order with LG about a month ago...the deal fell through, and still no headers, so I went with Kooks. John over at 21stCMC was able to pull an order for me and have them in a week.
Good luck.

Installed my Kooks, X-Pipe, High-Flow Cats on Wednesday. Damn, not only am I impressed with the fit, the performance is just awesome! The wait was a pain in the ***...but man, after firing that baby up and putting some miles on it......I'm just plan stoked! BTW, I don't hear any "noise", except that motor screaming thru Corsa Sports.

How much does the installation of headers cost? I don't want anything too loud so I might stay with the stock exhaust or get B&B RT66 installed also.
