I just posted my dyno results for the ARH above. These sound great with the stock Ti Z06 exhaust.

Default American Racing Headers showed up today

I got my set of American Racing Headers in last week as well. Nick and the guys did a great job on my custom order. The workmanship is really good and I can't wait to test them out. I would highly recommend these headers to anyone who is going to spring for a new set.

Hopefully find out soon.

Here are some progress pics.

While I did not expierence the Bam they're in, overall it was not that bad.
Both went in from the bottom. I had to remove the starter on the passenger side.

Here is the X Pipe area and the WB O2.

More pictures later, waiting on Catback flange gaskets to finish it up today.



Had to relocate the LC-1 to be able to reach the O2 Bung at the X-pipe. Put the LC-1 controller in the torque tube and tie wrapped it to the fuel lines.

Notched the heat shield a bit to exploit a small opening at the heat shield that was already "Built in".



Also changed up the supplied bolts with Stainless.
