Default Anybody do headers & x-pipe on Z06?

Curious I headers are much help. Seems GM would do a good job w their performance exhaust? Dyno results?

I'm thinking bolt on CAI, headers, x pipe, and tune should produce another 60-70 HP, what YA think? Or know?

Seems like the stock exhaust manifolds are beefy from the factory, people are only picking up ~10rwhp by installing headers. If I eventually go with bigger power adders like cams, heads, pulleys, porting throttle body & blower then I will consider headers. For now I'm going with an xpipe, cai, and tune.

I'm not sure yet, my buddy has a shop "JTM Motorsports" in Deer Park. They're attached to American Racing Headers.

Just wanted to wait a while before I void the warranty.
Also tuners need to learn best mapping in new Model year

If anyone would like to sell their stock Z06 exhaust manifolds, please contact me. I'm thinking $200.

Headers require tune?? Yes??
Please pm me price...local.. AR headers X pipe
Installed tuned.
Can you coat headers for reduced noise?
Have you done any C7 Z's yet?
Especially worried about tune reliability.
Sorry about all questions. Just voiding warranty on a 29,000 motor
Thanks
Andrew
