Headers for a C7
I have a 2014 fitted with a Vortec V3 blower. Thinking about adding AR ceramic coated long tube headers, x-pipe and high flow cats. Question is, is it worth the $3200? How much added hp can I expect from such an upgrade?

You'll probably get better insight if you post this question in either the General or Tech/Performance section here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-corvette-141/
Lot of C7 enthusiasts who will probably have lots of good insight. (Although not an C7 driver, as a general rule anytime you are increasing the air flow into the engine it is a positive move to improve the exhaust flow, too). Good luck.

Enjoy while you can.

I installed Kook headers on my C7 a few months ago. Every time I crack my car it puts a smile on my face. Then when I open her up it puts an even bigger smile on my face. That alone is worth every penny spent.
