Default c6 corvette with corsa x pipe header question/help
I have a corsa exhaust and x pipe on my 05 vette. I'm looking to put a set of headers on the car and was wondering if anyone has done this and what brand header bolts up to the corsa x pipe? I would hate to buy another xpipe, but would if I had no choice.

Thanks in advance!

Long tube headers usually come with an x-pipe. You can always sell the Corsa X pipe.

I have a Corsa axleback system on my 2010. I installed Kooks headers which requires you to use a Kooks X pipe also. The Kooks X pipe will fit a stock or aftermarket axleback system. I don't think that you will be able to use that Corsa X pipe with headers

Long tube headers are longer than the stock manifolds & move the location of the cats further downstream in the X pipe, so if the Corsa X pipe is designed around the stock manifolds, it will not work with any brand of header
