No dyno data, but seat-of-the-pants feels like 25-35 RWHP. The guys at ECS are great too.....Mike did the install & Doug did the tune.....both these guys are masters at their crafts. I'm really pleased with the work they did & can HIGHLY recommend ECS to all.

Thanks again Dave, it was a pleasure meeting you, enjoy!!

Called a local shop for installation of ARHs and couldn't get a appointment. Going to travel to NJ and get M&B Performance to do the install. Jet Hot ARH to stock NPP exhaust.

How did you go about getting the coating applied by Jet Hot? I was thinking of doing the same thing and was thinking of just having ARH drop ship the headers directly to Jet Hot and then they could ship the headers to my installer after the coating was applied.

Boat Racer, We don't do it very often but we can arrange to ship the set to Jet Hot and back to your installer. Let me know and we'll get you all set up. Thanks.

Nick

I wonder if some folks are confusing drone with the throb you can get from nearly any V8 at low rpm in a high (usually OD) gear under load? Drone is when the cabin becomes a resonating body causing the various bits to vibrate. The sound from this can be huge with a bad drone. You can actually see things like the center stack moving. As you go through the lower rpms you can often see and hear the vibrations move through the car as the resonant freqs change and vibrate different bits, in example dash then moving to mirrors and so on. This is a different thing than the throb that can come from the exhaust which can also be annoying but is not drone as it isnt producing resonant vibration with the accompanying sound.

At any rate I have had the ARH and sports for years on a stick car and no drone. It can produce a throb typically on a long uphill on cruise at low rpm in 6th. I will hit 5th on those occasions.

You might consider installing the headers first and then moving on to the cans later as the headers add a fair bit of oomph on their own.

Any of you feel HF cats contribute to drone?

You will NOT have any drone or resonance with the Corsa/ARH combination in any RPM. I have installed countless sets of the ARH headers with Corsas, I have the ARH and Corsa system in my personal C6 Z06 and they are great, loud when you want them to be and nearly as quiet as stock at steady state high way cruise speeds.
