Default AWE Header options for C7 Z51?

AWE has a great product in their X-pipe and Touring exhaust set up and I just recently purchased both for a C7 Z51. What options do I have if any for headers? Does anyone know if there are any bolt up applications that would work? I have tried to research the interwebs for some hints but have yet to find any so I turn to the vast knowledge of the corvette forum.

Thanks for your help,
Kody

American Racing Mid lengths are your only option. They are available with or without Cats. With Cats they don’t require a tune.

You can also do the Corsa mid length headers as well.

Let me know if you'd like pricing. We have them in stock.

If you go thru all the time and expense to install headers go with long tubes , almost all have a matching X pipe . Then sell your mid pipe on these forums for what you paid for it because they are in short supply

Mid tubes are like taking a shower with your shoes on ......

I second this route as I have an AWE catless x-pipe and going with the ARH mid-length headers with high flow cats.

I agree as well with the Long Tube install makes a huge different in sound and you actually gain some HP.

Corsa and Billy Boat headers will bolt up. Both have much longer primaries than the ARH mid-length headers, but you’ll lose the primary cats with no easy option for secondary cats in the X pipe.
