I was DMing someone on here a while back about their exhaust and he said he installed catless long tubes and though he loved the sound the odor/smell was so intense he was planning to revert back to the std exhaust.

I got the kooks 2” with catless X. Still waiting to be installed but seems to be a bit cheaper than ARH

I had the same question few months ago. Finally decided on Kooks Jethot coated headers and x-pipe. Purchased from forum vendor CCA (Custom Corvette Accessories). Couldn't be happier with the price, service and product. The Kooks fit absolutely perfectly.

Of note, I went with catless x-pipe. The exhaust smell is much more pronounced than I anticipated. So much so that I find it irritating. I will be replacing my catless x-pipe with the Kooks Green Cat x-pipe this up coming Spring.

I’ve run both ARH and kooks on three C6’s two of them Z06’s. Presently I’m runing kook 17/8 with high flow cats on my 16Z06. Excellent fit as always. Along with a 2300 maggy and other mods making 702/734rwhp and Tq. Headers simply make everything work.

Do you have emission testing in your area? If so does this setup pass?

I went with the 2" ARH with their catless xpipe. I'm very satisfied with the results.
