I wasn't going to do this to my C7, but you guys have planted the seed again Are there any good sound clips you can recommend? I do want to keep the NPP with any header install I end up with.....

Pretty much any of the combos here have the NPP/ARH 1-7/8"s on them.

Just a killer combo - not too loud (dare I say quiet in closed mode), wake the dead at WOT with wide-open valves.

So, I have NPP and I ordered the ARH 1-7/8th's and the Billy Boat Fusion…I'm not wasting money with the BB Exhaust right?

Do the AR headers sound different from the Kooks?

BBs just sound different - there's no 'right' or 'wrong' in this world. It's all about what you like!

Yes, but it will be hard to determine the actual difference since there are no side-by-side videos. There are YouTube videos of both, but again... different mics, recordings, etc.

I've not heard both next to one another.

With the BB Gen3 Fusion, yes. Part of the reason I bought it.

Any chance ARH long tube 1-3/4" headers with the ARH cats pass emissions? Not the tailpipe or visual, just plugged into the diagnostic machine.
