I think the Borla resonators sound nice, on the old C5 ZO6. That was with stock manifolds, headers would definitely make it better

Those cars are freakin' slow.....every one of 'em needs headers and a cam. They run ok then, but u are gonna want a dual-disc clutch and a small shot of juice to put it in the 9s. It helps to be able to drive the damn thing too

Nice find........pics please. I'd agree, LT's exhaust & a tune, but I don't know **** about the LS7. So, as mentioned above, LG Motorsports is the company to call. LG built a twin turbo that went over 200 MPH @ the Texas mile. I'm still drewling over their accomplishment.

I say LG Motorsports as well if you want headers. They also have a new set of 1 7/8 headers coming out that is basically aimed at c6zo6 owners (427 ci's and bigger motors). They are called LG Super Pros and are 1 7/8 vs the old pro longtubes that are 1 3/4.

Now with that being said, I got bashed for being a cheerleader, so I'll say this, you won't go wrong with any of the big 3 headers. LG Motorsports, Kooks, ARH. Not necessarily in that order either. They all make excellent stuff, but I do suggest LG Motorsports.
