Okay, so now I have my Kooks 1 3/4 coated hdrs/x and Hf cats and I should see what tq down low ? A few ponies at the top , I am not there too often so i hope I made the right choice. Still deciding on what CAI. I thought with everything being ceramic coated maybe I don't need to cut my shroud. What about that BBK CAI or Halltech or K/N. Ithink I will eventually do a SpinCam once I understand A little more . I want it to come on STRONG at 3500rpm and highter.
TIA

Since the Z06 systems are available from all 3 of these companies, they will have pipes to mate to the Z06 size exhausts. They are interchangeable when you go from a 2.5 to 3" at a later date.

The S. Pro's give you a 3" mid, and it does neck down to 2.5" at those last few inches if you want to use stock mufflers on the car, or a stock replacement units. By doing a full 3" system to this point installing a 3" Z06 muffler kit is very simple by just changing the post X pipes to the Z06 units.
At any rate all of our headers work with any number of OEM, OEM replacement or larger mufflers.

Most Borla manufacturing is from China
I have ownerd both Borla headers and Borla header mufflers. The quality is poor as most manufacturing is done in China. I would not even consider them in the same class as American built Kooks or American Racing Headers.
If you are content with this level of quality, just buy one of the $300 Chinese headers from eBay.

Every Borla header is manufactured 100% in The USA. Johnson City Tennessee to be exact. If you don't believe it, come visit us and we'll show you for yourself!
Furthermore, we stand behind every header we make by including a million mile warranty. There is not a header manufacturer on the planet that stands behind the quality of their products to a greater extent than Borla.
If you have a problem with one of our products please hold us accountable and use our customer service department. Just call us and we'll take it from there. You won't be disappointed.
Cheers!

A side note....Just dealt with a busy and popular local coating shop. When I dropped my LG's Super Pro LT headers off to be coated, the shop owner commented on how nice a header it was. When I picked my headers up, again he came out and said how impressed he was with them and how well they were made. 
to LG.
