Exhaust Setup Help
So here is my delimma, I bought kooks headers and xpipe and the Corsa extreme axle back. I am having second thoughts on voiding my warranty. The Corsa extreme sounds great but I want more. Would you guys say just install the xpipe or just go all out and install the headers too.
is voiding your warranty just that important to having you zee be able to breathe and flow.
How come I keep hearing you can mount the kooks xpipe up to the stock headers but Corsa can. Can the kooks mid pipe be modified?

Unless you are racing.
If you are racing, then no matter what you do, there will always be somebody faster, sooner or later.
What sort of rabbit do you want to chase?
On other generations of Corvettes, my choices have been different.

Are your headers 2 inch maybe interested if you deside to sell because headers need a tune for best result. I have had it both ways. On header installs have had good gains pretune. Then not so much depends on the car.

The Z06 is expensive and complicated enough to repair, that maintaining warranty compliance is the path I have chosen. The stock power is already high enough, that there aren't many situations where one can use all of it, with traction being a major limiting factor.

I always start at the intake. Need the air in before you need to worry about getting it out. JMHO!
