2008 Corvette C6: Kooks Headers and Corsa Exhaust Install

[Wilson45combat]

on Corvette Forum I hear that the Kooks cats self destruct after about a year. Have you had any problems with the catalytic converters on the Xpipe?

[soccerpeve]

The tips look much too low...too far from the car, too close to the ground....

[808roxybaby14]

funny u forgot to mention how hard it is to get to the o2 sensor on passenger side! on my car it was wedged far up between the frame behind all kingd of wiring! i couldnt get to it so i just cut and extended the wire! u guys only show all the easy stuff!

[sergsrt8]

my dad, will be gettings this setup, will he pass emmissions? he will have cats

[tripleheshy]

Please don't insult my ignorance but are carbon fiber driveshafts made for Corvettes?? I'm wondering if the torque tube prevents an application.

[Isjix]

I was trying to favorite this video but I already had it in my favorites.

[joeaccord23]

the right muffler is crooked, anyway, 3 inch is good for na applications? and wut is 2.5 good for?

[colegraham]

@joeaccord23 the exhaust diameter is dependent on your intentions wilt the car. for a N/A Street Car of a mild F/I Street car a 2.5" diameter will be prefectly fine. if you are building more a strip car (N/A or F/I) with some street driving, 3" will be better. A full on drag racer, i would just go with a fully custom build system. after all more air in, you need more air out. the other thing to remeber is size of the headers you will use also.

[curancho]

so from 420 hp LS3 engine stock it made 388 hp to the wheels stock , and know 420 to the wheels with these mods how much to the engine??

[pinoyfourlyf]

@curancho If I calculated right, it would be about 455 from the engine crank.

[jnel04]

Actually 420 to the wheels is approximately 490 engine hp.

[chaldo84]

so which corsa mufflers did they use in this video ... was it the sport or the xtreme

[checkcheck662]

@curancho 455 hp. cross multiply the hp and whp numbers.

[Marc99GT]

Awesome setup, great gains and good for later on with further upgrades. Sounds perfect to me. Add a cam and this thing will rock to the the tune of about 480+ rwhp.

[VetteAholicZ06]

Very nice to see most of the work being done, very interesting, it sounds freaking great!

[rick9712]

Is this setup CARB certified? I live in Los Angeles and I'm very interested in this setup, but I want to keep my C6 smog legal.

[subsolar]

There are no longtube headers that are CARB certified.

[doogrisa]

good old american muscle!

[D1boostedSS]

.58sec cams?....did a teleprompter tell you that or do you have no clue what your doing lol

[sort117]

Nice.

[air1986]

Yes now i know that i will be doing at least that when i get back from korea. right now im a bone stock ls3

[stevez0r]

Wow, car sounds great! I'm looking at options for my 08 as well and was wondering what version of the Corsa catback this was? I'm assuming its either the Touring or Sport. Thanks

[cpimpino6]

so is that the best exhaust for a c6 ?

[Kookstv]

It is a very good one, but I really wouldn't reccomend the bigger exhaust unless an big motor, supercharged application was being used.

[Dallas616]

r4104 ... You can get a lot of information on LS1Tech web site. It's a Great site for any, and I mean any information on a car. Good Luck.

[r4104]

i have 2007 c6 .can i have 1 3/4 headers with 3" X-pipe ? becuz im planing to have Z06 exhaust. your feedback will be soo helpful and appriciated.

thanks

[aljoker9978]

this is my car i am drive not you dallas616  i buy this car my many not your many

[pantera31169311]

Are you trying to say that this is your car, you drive it and you bought it with your own money? LOL

[Dallas616]

I'll never understand why someone would buy an automatic in a Vette. I own a 2008 Vette, 6 speed MANUAL transmission. I'm a female that wanted a sports car. In my opinion, if you drive a corvette that's an automatic ... your a pussy!!

[pantera31169311]

Automatics are faster on the strip and that's a fact mama.

[S15drifter101]

No shit all drag cars are auto lol the closest thing to manual you will find is a sequential

[cheshiregangsta]

yep.

but if you just love driving then nothing beats a manual 6-speed h-box

[biffnacid]

@pantera31169311 i agree and im a tech and still peoplke get on me so much about this. the only time a manual is really superior is during road racing or an autocross type of even where yoou are going to live in 2nd 3rd and 4th gears. and yes there are alot of guys taht can shif wery well and get great times at the track using a manual transmission but that doesnt make owning an automatic corvette or any sports car for that matter gay or anything that the ignorant fan manual fan boys like to say

[aljoker9978]

hello i have c6 2008 ls3 the paddle shift automatic this system was instill with the paddle shift automatic or manual shift

[wasp010]

So the LS3 Camaro should be able to reach ~500 rwhp from headers, x-pipe, and cat-back?

XD The Mustang is DONE.

[cvalk]

Why would it do that when this LS3 only put out 421rwhp? An LS3 needs a heavy cam + headers, x-pipe, CAI and tune to reach 500rwhp.

[buamim]

the get 33 more HP without tuning or with tuning becouse i'm will install the same system in my Ls3

[Kookstv]

Yes no tuning was done on this vehicle.

[r4104]

i have 2007 c6 .can i have 1 3/4 headers with 3" X-pipe ? becuz im planing to have Z06 exhaust. your feedback will be soo helpful and appriciated.

thanks

[kmk408ci]

They didn't weld anything? just clamps?

[Kookstv]

No welding required with this system.

[mxt2s]

Your gonna put A CAM, not cams

[uswg01]

@mxt2s - It's "you're" because we're being picky...

[griffin86666]

sounds very nice!

[qmec6]

was there any tuning for the exhaust

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Great video KOOKS
