Advice requested for the most efficient headers for the track. I plan to have a tune but will keep the exhaust. Thanks in advance. Drdavid121 aka David

Not sure what you mean by efficient. In terms of best value, and performance, we are really into Kooks. If you have questions, or want a deal, call us @ 443-730-9428!

Looking for an increase in hp especially on the straights, I mainly race with Porsches and looking to be more competitive with the GT 3. Do extremely well in the corners. Drdavid. Any advice appreciated.

I assume you do this on a road course.
GT3 is a pure track car. HP is the least of your worries. You need to upgrade your C7 to make it last a full session on the track. Start by upgrading your cooling system (Ron Davis Radiator) and brakes (contact Jeff at Essex and look into AP brakes). The next step is wheels and track tires. Form there I would go to coilovers for better handling. Your next stop is Ron Fellow school and work on skills. Headers will get you 30HP or so after a tune but will not help you beat a track purpose car like a GT3. The GT3 can run lap after lap for an hour with no issues. Don't take me wrong, I am getting headers soon but I am doing it for the sound.
