Stainless Works CTSV Headers
We have a CTSV scheduled to come into our shop in July to prototype a header set and exhaust systems. Being that we want to prototype what people want, and build jig while the car is here, we are planning the following:
1 3/4" full length long tube headers
3" high flow converters
Attempt to make a bolt in kit that will mate to the factory exhaust system (we won't know if we can do this until we get into the car and see where the stock system is flanged, etc.) From looking underneath the car quickly when we quoted the job it should be do-able.
2 1/2" or 3" exhaust-again, it depends on what we can fit under the car-with x pipe
Double wall exhaust tips
We also do CNC laser cutting in house-are there any underhood/dress up covers/pieces that guys would like to see us manufacture-we can laser cut stainless, aluminum, titanium, etc.
Any constructive feedback you can give us regarding the headers, exhaust systems, and dress up parts would be appreciated. The headers and exhaust will be tig welded, 304 s/s with cnc laser cut flanges, and our standard lifetime warranty. Pricing will depend on how difficult they are to build, but I am guestimating headers will be in the 1199-1399 range with high flow converters, and the exhaust will be in the 799-999 range.
Thanks

Yes, The following parts are available for sale:
CTSV headers only-these will require cutting and fabbing the lead pipes to mate to the stock or aftermarket exhaust-these are bare headers, no converters or lead pipes: $899
CTSV exhaust system-3" from our headers all the way back. With high flow cats, and available with an x pipe or resonator. With the resonator there is no drone at all, the exhaust has a great deep, sound like a factory musclecar. $1199
CTSV exhaust system that goes to the factory manifolds. The same systems as above but this connects to the factory manifolds. $1199
Strope speed shop in Washington PA dyno'd the headers, high flow cats, and complete 3" exhaust system and picked up 53 RWHP and 47 Ft/# of torque at 5900 RPM with their tune.
If there is enough interest, we would be happy to do a group buy.
Thanks

im sorry, did you say 53RWHP? WOW, that a hell of a gain with a complete exhaust system.
What kind of tune is it? Is it a standard a/f tune or did they go in-depth with the TM and/or other parameters?
Im amazed really. I have seen other manufactures claim those kind of numbers and only get close to 25 rwhp, I would love to see a dyno graph....Gonna search for it..
As for the system. I would like to maintain the stock DB range of the V. I have heard headers on stock catbacks in camaro's and you cant reallt tell at all they had headers.

email me at:
alstainlessworks@alltel.net
and I will send the dyno numbers to you in an excel file. I could also fax a copy of the dyno graph to you. Knowing Stropes, I am sure the tune was a double throw down, get every last bit out of it tune. They are in Washington PA and do really nice install and tuning work.
Thanks
