Default Headers and Corsa C6 install.

A customer came in the other day with a Black LS2 C6, the car already had a Edelbrock E-force supercharger Edelbrock canned tune and Magnaflow mufflers installed. Our job was to add in a set of American Racing Headers long tubes, and a Corsa axle back system, as well as handle the tuning on the car. We also found the car had stock spark plugs still installed so we swapped those out for a set of NGK's.

As always here at the shop, I'm always taking pictures of the build process, whether it is a cold air intake install or full motor build and regularly send updates to the customer. I find that having the customer involved in the build is always beneficial to both of us.

Well here are some pics of the install.






Check out the Ipad the owner had installed in the dash!



Doing the baseline pull.



























I am still working on putting the video of the car up and will have that posted shortly.



On the baseline pull the car put down 468rwhp and 444rwtq on our Mustang dyno, after adding the headers, Corsa, the correct plugs and dyno tuning we made 503rwhp and 501rwtq!

Joe.

personally I wouldn't do it.
I like a rumble, but 500 miles of hearing that would send me up a wall

That is the thing I love about Corsa, as loud as they are at WOT they have almost no drone at all.
