Yeah, been following you on your other thread with the build. Car's a monster for sure! Sorry to hear about your exhaust issue... I had to send my car back to LMR for some minor issues with the car. Decided while it's there to add an LT4 pump, alky control meth, and an RPS clutch. Hoping for 40-50 more hp so we'll see.

Other than the lil snafu with exhaust mount, has the car been running well? Experience and drivability issues with that cam, converter set up? How's your water and oil temps? I'd like to see my oil temps decrease after I get my car back hopefully next week. I think they run too high.., 205* normal driving and 230*-250* flogging on it. Water temps stay around 180*-190*. Keep us posted on your car as you proceed.

I don't have any experience with different headers but TSP was recommended to me and I love the look, fit and sound!

Guys,

I've bought a used 2016 C7 Z06 with some unknown (at least to me) headers. Can you recognize what headers are they by the looking on photos? Please have a look here.

Just noticed this thread is old...but if anyone reads this and is still looking RDP (A supporting vendor) has them for $1906 shipped w/o taxes for the 2" Catless ARH and X-pipe. You'll need to go to vendor forum and use the coupon code there but it's a better deal than I've found anywhere and boy have I looked...

They are Catless and not ARH, TSP, Kooks or TSP. I think they are the ones from corvettemods (dot com) but could be another offbrand or could actually be LG. The giveaway for me is where they connect to the xpipe. It's really far back compared to most of the other brands.

My heart at the moment is saying Stainless Works based on the research I've done, but I could be swayed in any direction based on educated feed back. Thanks to all who offer an opinion.

I've put these Stainless Works on my 19 grand sport the sound is better than stock a lot deeper and I can tell some difference I also looked at Kooks I did like them but they didn't offer any deals or discounts so I went with Stainless Works and they look great . I hope this helps . Save the wave
