Corsa Headers
I have a 2014 c7 z51 and two months ago put on a corsa x pipe and extreme mufflers. Can anyone tell me if it is worth buying the corsa headers. I was told the car would be obnoxiously loud with extremes plus headers.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your C7!
I would suggest you'll probably get more insight from current C7 owners by posting this in C7 Tech at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rformance-169/.
And.....obnoxiously loud is "in the eye of the beholder;" or I guess really "in the ear of the beholder". I imagine you'll find plenty of C7 owners with the same set up you are considering.
You may see if you have any Corvette gatherings or Cars and Coffee meetings in your area. Perhaps you'll meet someone with exactly this combo and you can hear it yourself.
Best wishes with this.

It depends on what you consider loud. I have catless headers and x-pipe (Kooks) with the OEM NPP axle-back, which I find too quiet. I plan on Corsa Extreme to finish it off.
Keep in mind you'll want a tune if you do headers.

^^^ I was the MC of Corvette FunFest at Mid America Motorworks this weekend. Kooks was there...they said they'd have to replace my Corsa Extreme Double Helix X-pipe and then do the headers....no thanks.
