Well ive ruled out the pacesetter headers as shorty headers do absolutely nothing... so that leaves LTs by Texas speed performance and the LTs by SSAUTOCHROME.

I just dont see the point in the extra 300+ dollars for "name brand" headers. (except for ARH's and LG's)

anyways.. I have a dillemma.. living in the tidewater virginia area, Part of our state inspection is a visual inspection for cats. mind you... most shops look at the vette and hardly do a thorough look over because they are afraid to put it on the lift... but anywho... I was thinking the following setups


SSAUTO--->Magnaflow 3" cats---->any xpipe----->Corsa Indys


OR

TSP LT's---->included Xpipe---->Corsa indys (no cats)

OR

TSP LT's----> Magnaflow 3" cats--->Corsa xpipe----> Corsa Indys






WHAT SHOULD I DO!? ive been waiting for some headers to pop up for sale on the FS forums but i keep getting beat to the punch.

paint it black vette

go for the quality dont forget kooks also

tiki240

kooks are nice too but at 890+ just for the headers they are steep.

I run this setup with H/C and it sounds badass!

Sounds like a good option to me. I have ceramic coated mild steel headers and Cosa Indys and it is a good combination in my opinion.

Im kinda nervous about running catless as the car will smell more as well as the whole state inspection thing.. ive heard mixed reviews about SSAUTOCHROME's build quality and fitment, but on the other side, im not huge on the fact that the TSP are mild steel and subject to rust if the coating is scraped off... anyone have some youtube vids of these exhausts in action.. right now i just have Vararam and corsa indys... im looking for ~400 so i might need a mild cam + tune so im working on a restricted budget, i can always save more for the cam pkg, but i wanna get away with the best bang for buck with the exhaust..

oops

Here's a vid when I had long tubes, corsa and a cam:

You wont be getting any SSAC headers for awhile..

They are out.. Trust me I found out.

They are designing a new design to further improve the fit again. They say its coming soon but wouldnt give me a date when they emailed me back..

Im honestly having to look at the Texas speed headers Unless someone else has them for arround the same price?

tiki240

well if SSAC doesnt have a expected date, ill just go with the texas speed headers.

largeitalian

trust me, get ssac

I got my ssac headers off ebay for 300 bucks installed myself in about 6 hours. the only problem I had was bending the ac line. then drove to the local exhaust shop charged me 70 bucks to hook it up to my stock h pipe and weld up my air fitting. I have had them for a year and a half and not one problem with them.

I don't think it will be too much longer for the SSAC headers. Contact Rick (EFI Alchemy). My car was used for the mock up of the new header design and will probably be the first C5 with the new header. The mock up was done close to a month ago and as I understand they are in the process of manufacturing them. I'm sure Rick can give you more info.
