Default the need for headers

I am on the list at Boost District to have the Lingenfelter supercharger installed - I have the Corsa intake and Fabspeed cat back exhaust going in , as well as half shafts.

I am am not about maxing out the volume of my exhaust but do not want to miss out on any noticeable gain

will I be Missing out if I pass on the headers?

i had long tube headers and custom exhaust on my supercharged c5 with a cross over and found it a little loud

thanks

rich

We have stock headers on our built engine TT C8 making 1100whp now and they are fine so I don't think you will be limited by the stock headers.

Thanks

Is there any point to installing my ARH for an NA application, or should I sell them?

A lot of us have seen nice gains with ARH & aFe headers. Kooks and some of the other brands...not so much.
