Could you provide some details? Did you have the car tuned? You have full American Racing Headers with the Extremes? I was told that it would be out of this world loud and to not do it.

I am assuming its an A8 by the shift speeds in the video. What is the cold start like? Mine is crazy loud with just the xpipe and Extremes. Headers must make it ear shattering.

Yeah Full AMR with extremes and A8! Its is really loud at WOT. Cold Start up is also very loud. I have not gotten a tune yet as i am going to do a few more mods. I will have a Dyno Run tomorrow also!

Sounds awesome!

Im curious what the gain will be...

So if you add the headers are you just not getting all the HP out of them without a tune? Mostly sound or does it just drive different (faster, loader & better)??

No tune for the header install? I thought this would throw a CEL or make the car run badly no?

I have the x-pipe and extremes myself and love the sound and you get a small bump in horsepower too...Didn't want to go the tune route so I didn't even consider headers yet. So is a tune necessary or not with a header install?

So far no Tune for the header install. I am not throwing a CEL all is well but i believe to take maximum advantage of the exhaust system i will need a tune. But it the sound is worth it all on its own!

Is that the original oil to water cooler next to the oil filter? To confirm its a 15 and not a 16? It is not the same as our 2015 Z ours is more rectangular.

Great sounds from those headers!

No CEL because this Xpipe has catalytic converters. Probably needs a tune though still because I bet its running a tick lean.

Sweet you dropped some pounds to boot! I'm getting my headers
(2inch ARH w/cats) on soon but staying stock exhaust don't want real loud as the neighbors would freak. I don't like loud stuff as well our neighbor hood is quiet. But I love the header sound beside the exhaust.

I went ahead and did the jethot coating as well

Did you dyno the car? what are the results? I would love to see your car so I can hear the exhaust and look at the install.

I did have the car dynod but they did it in 3rd gear instead of 5th im not sure how fudged the numbers are so im calling it a false run... It was at a 40$ dyno day at Finish Line Perfomrance in Denver they ran 32 cars that day.

Yeah we could meet up sometime just send me a PM sometime
