Default Headers are in!

What a difference too! I did not notice that big of a difference on the WS6 but it is HUGE on a stock Z06. Once I drive it a little like this I will get Ellis to tune it and then we will tweak it on the dyno. As for the install, it took 4hrs using my neighbors lift and taking our time. The biggest PIA part was unhooking and reconnecting all the wires. No dropping the starter, disconnect the steering linkage, jacking up the motor. Just move the wires and they slide right in. Excellent quality and everything lined right up. I love this car even more now. I see a cam coming in the near future.

Sound went up only at WOT and I kept the cats. Thinking about putting a chambered exhaust on now to get that perfect sound.
