Default LS3 with NPP want to add headers

I want to purchase a set of Kooks coated headers for my 2008/Z51/6Sp.

Can I just buy the headers? or do I need to buy x-pipe, cats, anything else?

Your gonna need X-Pipe, and if you don't like raw exhaust/gas smell get the high flow cats. The OEM cats attach directly to the exhaust manifolds on the C6 so no way to attach them to headers..

I don't know that there is a bolt on 3" for the LS3.

LG can set you up with a 3" system all the way through for your LS3.

Any of the headers you buy will come with everything you need to install and connect to your mufflers, you do not need to buy a separate x-pipe. Typically, you can buy them with high flow cats or a cat-delete designed for off road use.

Most headers require 3 seperate sections (5 pieces); Left and right Long tube headers, left and right high flow cats (OR left and right cat delete pipes) and an X pipe. The header system will bolt to your stock and most aftermarket axleback systems.
