Default Video Before and After Headers!!!Shows off Vararam!

Here is a before and after video of a stock C6 (Vararam Only) before headers and then after adding Kooks 1 7/8 Headers with no cats. The car sounds way better than stock but in my opinion still needs an aftermarket exhaust. This is my friends car and I think he is leaning towards the Magnaflow.

Nice sound. Thanks for the pics of the vararam. Here are my Kooks and Corsas. An exhaust gives it some bark

Do headers w/ the stock exhaust produce any drone?

What about headers w/ the corsas?

Both of those clips sound very good, IMO.

It doesn't seem like there will be much drone from this setup, but the car hasn't seen any road time since completion. Stupid Chicago Winter!!! It sounds way better than stock but it just needs to be a little deeper. Hey Midnight, does your car have anything else done?

I have LG's with the Corsa Sports and there is some drone at 1500 RPM. Nothing you can't live with or stay out of with the go pedal. The sweet sounds on accel and WOT will make you forget all about it.

It has an LPE 403 motor. Turned on my sig with details

FYI Stock I had no drone at all. After the 403 with 500+rwhp was installed, it has a slight drone when running lower than 1500rpm. It is not like the Borla drone but there is a little bass sound at low rpms. It is not loud enough to force the stereo to be turned up but it is noticable to me.
