2018 Ford Mustang Corsa Headers vs Cat Delete Exhaust- ARE HEADERS WORTH IT?

[@Dredded_one]

There is a big difference in tone with the white car being a little deeper sounding to me overall. Especially noticeable when idling around at low rpm. This was exactly the type of video I was looking for to compare the two in sound.

[@abelgabaldon8849]

A lot of people ain’t into the raspy ness, I enjoy that shit😂😂

[@joshb6382]

That’s what I’m sayin, sounds more alive dawg 🙏

[@motogolf1]

Both sound great. I just went with a full cat back system on my 18 GT and that is plenty for me lol. These cars are LOUD!

[@spacefreeze]

It’s about time someone posts a video about this. 👍👍👍

[@Zander13Productions]

I’m always doing stuff like this. Trying to stay on top of the game lol

[@spacefreeze]

Zander13 yeah you and @stangmode always have good content

[@Zander13Productions]

Thanks 🙏

[@udogtexas]

I have a stock 19 and deleted the resonators with a xpipe, it sounds killer...so before you buy some high end mufflers give it a try with just a cheapy xpipe you will be surprised how well it sounds with just an xpipe and stock mufflers, Zander I've learned alot about the the 2018-2019 you've modded with everything I wanted to do to my car, keep these vids coming. Thumbs up, always.😎

[@rubyred3027]

I’ve always preferred the h-pipe, sound more old school muscle to me. The new exhaust in these new 5.0 don’t sound like older muscle cars. To raspy and popping with x-pipe. Which remind me of imports. If you hear the 87-93 5.0 with full set up sound totally different then the new 5.0s. But that my opinion.

[@underfedcoyote5.022]

It’s the pushrod power lmao I prefer pushrods over these v8 Honda’s (ford) lmao but I own a 18 5.0 an it is what it is.

[@Travios1115]

Uncle had a 87 with a blower. The H pipe sound was "cleaner" and sounded awesome. I had an xpipe and then the double helix x pipe and loved them all. But the H pipe sounds an ounce better.

[@adnanjifri6022]

when only cat deleted is it need any programme?

[@bradwoods371]

the difference you're hearing is pushrod vs overhead cam. modern 5.0s sound sorta raspy/ farty in general compared to pushrod.

[@coyotelife9732]

Well these cars have 12-to-1 compression, a different firing order, and twice as many exhaust valves... and almost double the horsepower.

[@speedsun20]

2M headers are the best by far price and quality. No fitment issues and 3" collector

[@johnnybrewer808]

Thanks I have almost pulled the trigger twice putting headers on my car. No access to a lift in Kansas and no shop willing to do a cat delete

[@nozopoke1782]

Why won’t they?

[@JustKona]

Sorry Z that white gt sounds much better. Deeper and throaty. Just me tho.

[@beto5ohh]

Kona_blue_5.0 frr

[@5.0_patino69]

That’s opinionated but I personally love how rowdy Z’s car sounds. All comes down to personal preference

[@kong_5oh163]

The white one sounded deeper to me the red one sounded more sporty 🔥 both sounded bad ass . I might go car delete instead of headers now . And keep stock mufflers . With my e85 tune and Intake

[@Eddie2425]

The long tubes make it sounds soooo much better!!!

[@raulp6573]

Both sound really good. I really think the H pipe in any of those setups would be awesome as well. Nice Video! Like always, keep 'em coming.

[@Zander13Productions]

🔥🔥🔥

[@StangMode]

Headers are...

[@Zander13Productions]

I installed mine in 7 hours.

[@harleyed6830]

a must have bolt on (long tube) In my opinion

[@Dredded_one]

Worth it if you have bigger plans for the car and need every extra HP.

[@Dredded_one]

Zander13 yeah but you k ow what you’re doing. It would cost me $750 to get them installed locally and I don’t have a car for a day too lol

[@StangMode]

Zander13 lol you installed them 3x times in a Year lmao 😂 better be a pro by now lol love ya

[@carlitosperez3092]

Thanks for taking the time to do this video for us.....it's highly appreciated.

[@Zander13Productions]

💪

[@dream4dagreen]

Great video. Bet an H Pipe will give it a good growl with those pops you got goin on. They both sound awesome.

[@mattkent75]

They both sound great love the down shifting... my corsa extreme cat back is on the way.i couldn't wait for the full review lol

[@ginob615]

Cat delete sounds more like a deeper muscle car tone to me here. Both are beautiful. If you are an everyday Joe, save the money and get cat delete. If you are chasing performance every bit of horsepower counts and get the headers!

[@kennethburton3056]

I need mine installed bro!!!! Mine come with cats. That would be a good comparison video. I kind of like the Corsa sound better but they both sound amazing.

[@bigm3436]

That white mustang with the windows and lights blacked out ir really growing on me. Both cars sound awesome

[@MustangObsesseds550]

Love the raspy ness of the red GT! I have shorty headers with an x pipe so this was definitely interesting!!

[@tracybasler7387]

Good to see Gabe out and about ! Nice Vid Guys!

[@hectorfr91]

They both sounded AWESOME.

[@potterma63]

Sorry, Zander, I'm liking the single x-pipe with the stock headers. Very impressive either way, though.

[@Zander13Productions]

It does sound amazing

[@stanginjones9545]

You got that right, you really need catless headers and even than there is no significant gains over the stock 18/19.

[@airflow_concepts]

They both sound great. I've had corsa extremes on my 16PPGT. I have a brand new to the market axle back coming in this week for my 18 and will be doing an install and review video. I hope you guys can tune in.

[@airflow_concepts]

@@Texas_C8 I will have to wait and see. Exhaust should be here by the middle to end of the week. Stay tuned.

[@coyoteslugger3936]

The red Mustang has a high raspier sound at top end.

[@mikep0602]

Really all that matters is what the hp is between them

[@dante69d]

That's the question!

[@k11yle]

If the car is NA, there is no difference. Longtubes only matter if the car is boosted

[@RSDX99]

Engines make their best sound when under load. revving unloaded is meaningless. If you are racing every week you need all the HP you can make.If you are just doing car show burnouts you don't need headers.

[@carlosespinoza1491]

Its true

[@youngbuck388]

The set up on White one is perfect

[@anthonybrunk2523]

I think it depends on your future planned upgrades

[@Zander13Productions]

Big power for me

[@Nick-1992-SRB]

I my opinion your Stang sounds like a real race car the white one is't bad but yours sounds better no question about it.

[@christianl2363]

Do you guys get that "10 speed whine" ????

[@tlcgtp]

Now that’s a video, great job guys. I’m really starting to wonder what an H pipe would sound like with the long tubes. Corsa please send an H pipe to Alex so we can all hear the comparison and decide if we want to buy one. Thanks

[@Zander13Productions]

Thanks. Corsa needs to make an h pipe

[@SixStringRacer]

H pipe is really deep. All that raspiness is replaced with old school deep muscle car tone.

[@token_hard2824]

Shorty headers with cat delete but that's because I daily my 2019 gt PP1 . If I was going full race-car, obviously you'd get headers for max power increase ! Both sound nice 👍🏾

[@privateparty4900]

I think this video saved me $1200 or so. They seriously sound the same. The only reason I was looking at the Corsa Long Tubes is because I thought they got rid of the clap. I hate that snap/clap | trumpet sound from these cars.

[@refusetolosethis779]

I literally played 5:17 over and over again 15 times in a row lol. That coyote sounds so damn good with that 10r80 shifting in the meat of the powerband. I definitely prefer the sound of the cat deletes, x-pipe, and stock active exhaust.

[@Zander13Productions]

🙏🔥❤️❤️

[@Alex-kf5vu]

question im jus getting into this, is the x pipe the pipe you replace the cat with ?

[@matttakahashi8283]

If you’re going to rev like a jack ass while stationary the lt sounds better, if you’re going to race around the cut cats with short headers sounds best.

[@ChoneyNation]

I’d love to do headers but it’s not like dropping a set on old Small block chevelle, so I’ll just stick to a cat back. Both cars sounds absolutely amazing.

[@StupidFastTruck]

Love those drive by shots! Very informative as usual. The headers should complement the blower too when you get it installed.

[@Zander13Productions]

Soon I hope

[@eugeneeckhartiii]

They both sound good. I grew up with the old school growl but Carnage sounds great!

[@Zander13Productions]

🙏

[@artelias1434]

Both sound great,if your on a budget cat delete is great.

[@jetcity7156]

Both cars sound real good!

[@madmotorhead9425]

Headers are worth it if you are going max effort or boosted. NA should stick 1 3/4 , boosted 1 7/8 or 2"

[@craigmcleod5032]

I'd take either one. Both are amazing.

[@yomarchacon6253]

the real question here is.... what is the difference on whp between both? i do like the headers... but cost/hp seems not good

[@angelorellana7707]

The e85 Quiets the white one down dosent do it justice would sound way different one 91 or 93

[@bryanunion5110]

Shoulda use the same single x pipe before we totally dismissed the sound of headers. I personally love longtubes.

[@V8dadmartin]

I plan on super charging a gen 2 and want to avoid melting the cats. I don’t want massive gains just a humble 650whp. I think I’ll just go with a straight pipe

[@evanbernicke9993]

Ik im pretty late to this video but to me my car sounded way different on E vs 91. I was on E for about 2 years until I moved to Arizona and had to switch to 91 since a roadtrip on E wouldn’t be the most fun. The 91 gave it more of a burble and deeper tone while the e85 seemed to choke it out. Lmk if anyone else has had this experience

[@joshb6382]

That header setup sounds nasty bro, def better for people lookin for theatrics cuz it’s like a thunderstorm rolling by 😂

[@markcelusnek8913]

Hi excellent video I just subscrbed. One question though I would be very interested to know what white car dynoed so we can compare cat delete to header's rwhp.

[@markcelusnek8913]

What no reply?

[@mileshiles1287]

They both sound good. 👍

[@Jesus-warrior]

Just so everyone knows, with a c7 vette the long tube headers bolt right up to factory ex pipe u don't need THEIR ex pipe to use them

[@bryanfelts1647]

Waiting on my phone speaker to blow 😂😂😂 they both sound great but I prefer your car. It sounds a lil rowdier. Another great video. Keep it up 👍👍👍

[@sophiewilliams7582]

The white GT had more of a droning sound on the steady-revs drive-by. The red GT sounded better. Plus, as we know, red makes it go faster, so that's a win for Team Zander13 :)

[@AcmeRocket]

they both sound great but too loud for me. I have active exhaust and dont want it louder. I like the current sound. came from a C7 with ARH 1 7/8 and it was obnoxious. If you want lots of attention get LT headers. If you are chasing tenths and those 1 or 2 tenths are worth the massive additional noise the other 98% of the time, then get LT headers. If you want to set off car alarms, get headers, otherwise.... not for me.

[@DavidePetrini]

Bel video complimenti !

[@darksideemt]

Definitely like the deeper tone better but performance wise I’m sure your setup is probably better. NASCAR, nascar, nascar!!!!

[@northwesthorsepower8215]

Dude that double helix sounds so good!

[@gioi8892]

Watching the video they almost sound identical. My personal opinion I would remove the jlt intake and go steeda closed intake. You will pick up few more ponies I don’t think I’m going to modify mine with headers due to the problems the cars have been having. I heard threw the grape vine that ford may have a recall and don’t want to loose my warranty. Other then few bolt on parts and tune I wouldn’t recommend. .

[@chillwill0330]

J Me recall for what exactly?

[@gioi8892]

18shadowblk_5_0 _ I was talking to my friend and he’s a warranty administrator for ford at local car dealer in Florida and there have been numerous complaints on car from shift forks , oil consumption and engine tick along with few other issues. He was told threw a field rep there usually recalls on the first year models . Me being a Retired ford service director for 15 years I wouldn’t recommend doing anything to your car that will void the warranty. That’s the reason I’m not touching my car till I get more info on recalls.

[@10R8OH]

18shadowblk_5_0 _ lower IAT’s period

[@pattda1]

My experience racing / building cars; put a plan together of what your end goal is and do your homework. A lot of time, energy and money can be spent on rework. ... and try not to reinvent chocolate chip cookies, unless you have the time, patience and money to burn. For the majority, the known performance build recipes will suffice.

I like the corsa setup but I like the price of the other setup 😂, I have the corsa double x & active

[@boostdsm55]

Long tubes sound way better, and there not that hard to install. Installed mine in about 6hrs. And you don’t have to buy the expensive ones, eBay ones perform just as good, got mine for 380

[@jasonquiroz3899]

link?

[@bryman868]

I love those Oakleys just as much as those corsa headers

[@stumpdiggitty]

Def like the catless setup better. So much growl to it compared to the Nascar race sound of the corsa

[@LongMoneyShaun]

If I’m buying headers it’s for performance, you can make it sound anyway you want deep or raspy, but if you’re purely doing it for sounds that’s kinda weird in my opinion

[@ketch5643]

Can't go wrong with either of those......I myself would go with open headers.....period! 😁

[@timpe23]

Both sound amazing on the drive byes... couldn't really tell a difference.... Could only tell a difference when you were both were parked side by side

[@Zander13Productions]

The cat delete is just less raspy and a touch deeper in person

[@TheMynig]

But what is the power difference that’s what I’m curious about

[@Bear5OH11]

why do manual cars pop and crackle more than the autos during downshifts?

[@Josh_GT500]

Definitely a fan of the deeper tone from the white car. Not a fan of a lot of rasp. The white car would even sound better if it had an H pipe instead of the X pipe.

[@lambertrodriguez1057]

what brand of cat delete? sounds good with stock mufflers

[@Hanibul_Lecktor]

Bonus, long tubes suck your torque down low and mid range. Long tubes are good for one thing, W.O.T. no more.

[@puzo-we3hp]

Can I put Kook HF cat without a tune on my 2019GT ?? 🐎🔥 I have Steeda H pipe with Stock Active exhaust now .

[@5.0yote]

I'm not gonna lie I like the way the cat delete sounds better the corsa is just to raspy in my opinion

[@joedecker23]

Both sounds are beautiful

[@kimberlybarnett2889]

Thank you for sharing!! I love that old school deep tone! I've got a 20' GT/CS with active exhaust and I'm looking to get a little more tone after going with the Steeda H pipe...cats gotta go!😅😎

[@MUSTGANG]

Hey did you end up removing the cats? I have the same setup as you and I’m thinking of removing the cats

[@BadAssEngineering]

imma go with the Red car with Long Tubes, that just sounds way more vicious and angry. I wish I could have a Manual Transmission throttle response on my automatic truck

[@carguy...]

Nobody has mentioned usually when you do cat deletes you get a bad smell of gas

[@raultopete2969]

By sacrifice you mean lose or gain?

[@cruisingthe101]

I suspect the Corsa Double X-pipe is really why they sound different

[@SuperJbohn]

White gt sounds best to me. Also i like that front splitter the white one has,anyone know where to buy it.?

[@devindowtin]

So is active exhaust necessary to amplify an already strongly loud exhaust or -? 🤔

[@COYOTE_N8]

So I have a 15 and I haven't been under the car yet but aren't the cats part of the header? So I'm curious what's the cost effective way of deleting cats? Maybe I'm wrong someone lmk plz

How loud are they in quiet mode? Is that mode sufficient with cold starts? As in not to piss off the neighbors lol thanks

[@Fordcrownvicp71]

Hey Zander so did the white s550 have cat delete pipes or did he have a shop put in pipes in place?? If the second one, did he take the rear o2s completely out??? Oh also how much did he pay?? Thanks

[@14truelies]

Hey Zander, do you know which X pipe he has? I’m getting a 18-20 GT soon. Lost my 3 valve in hurricane Sally while deployed 😢. I know it’s not easy finding different cars and their set ups. If you ever get the chance to get a video with a car with the Texas speed long tubes and their cats please do! Active exhaust of course. Other is I have noticed one x pipe resonator delete sticks out more than others. That’s the MBRP 2.5”. Videos of that would be 👌🏼. Also that with a catted header set up and also stock headers no cats and cats. Do you know if the stock cats are part of the headers or are they bolt in?

[@732Stang]

Both cars sound amazing

[@BornToBeFamed]

Both sound great’. I think the headers would sound better with a better muffler on it.

[@Zander13Productions]

They both have mufflers

[@ErikHerrera18]

Does the white car have stock mufflers? Is it just a x pipe with stock mufflers or do they have a full exhaust?
