Headers
I have a 2011 GS 6-speed . I'm going to install Kooks 1 3/4 headers and catted x pipe. Before I get it tuned, is an air intake necessary? From what I have read on this forum, the stock air filter will handle 600 hp.

I am trying to get a real cost on adding headers to my car. A reputable company near me has a header package I'm looking into. Halltech air intake, headers, mighty mouse catch can , NGK TR55 spark plugs , fluids , baseline tune, full street dyno tune , 160 THERMOSTAT.
Trying to cut cost with the air intake.

I need that mentality. Oh, you're going to need a starter heat shield, a tunnel heat shield or your interior will get to 500 degrees. Spark plug shield or your wires will melt. 2000 degrees under your hood. Yours clutch will melt.

or just not tune now because he is just doing exhaust work. Every single day someone mentions headers, tunes come up. It is my biggest pet leave that people think they need tunes for headers

Search/Research this forum for threads on best header size for a street driven LS3, and mixed in will be threads and posts on drag race LS3 that also use 1 3/4 and have quicker E.T.'s than cars running 1 7/8 headers on the drag strip in high HP builds. Then make your choice.

thank you! Too much bs touted by people that think bigger is better with no data.
