Kooks Headers 2005-2008 Corvette
I have an extra set of Kooks 1 7/8 Headers and Catted X-Pipe at the shop and ready for immediate installation.
RPT will install the headers and provide a before and after dyno tune for $1,795.

The car picked up 44 horsepower with the headers and tune. Went from a 392 baseline to 436 after. Horsepower and Torque increased through out the entire power band. Plus between the power and the tune, it really woke the car up on the street. I was really impressed how much harder the car pulls now.
I also want to give a big thumbs up to Brian and his crew, they knocked out the whole process very quickly. I don't think anyone else is giving this good of a deal on headers installed and tune.

Hi Brian, stopped by your shop yesterday while you guys were installing AJs headers. You have a very nice and clean looking operation there. Sorry I didn't get to meet you in person but I will stop by again when in the area. Man, that white Cobra on the dyno was loud as hell!!
AJ, great to meet you and very glad you are happy with the new headers. Your '08 looks great. Enjoy and hope to see you at the Cedar Park meet sometime.

Thanks for posting the dyno graphs. On the before dyno the only mods were the Vararam and the NPP exhaust was open.
The second is with Kooks 1 7/8's with a catted 3 inch x pipe.
I initially was a little worried I might loose power way down low in the power band, but as the graphs show it never lost power. I am sure there may be a little more low end torque on the table if I would have gone with 1 3/4's but I am really pleased with the results, especially the grunt on the top end.
Plus the sound increase is excellent, really opens up that muscular Chevy tone.
ROC OUT, I had a good time yesterday, hopefully next time im down their I will get to see that Lemans blue of yours. If you are still on the fence about going with headers, I can recommend them 100%. I will send you a PM here in a couple.

That's one of the best deals I've seen for awhile!!! If I didn't already have headers, I'd come down there and get some!!!
