C5 Corvette Exhaust - Long tube headers, 3" catted x-pipe, Corsa Mufflers

C5 Corvette Exhaust - XS Power long tube headers, XS Power 3" catted x-pipe, Corsa Mufflers. Cam Motion Titan 4 camshaft (227/232, 113+4, .612/.595). PRC stage 1 ported 243 heads. Motor is just over 11:1 compression.
I've been very happy with the exhaust sound. Definitely wakes the neighbors but not bad on the hwy when cruising.

Your C5 sounds badass! Sounds great!!! C6 owner, with mods, still doesn’t sound as good as yours!

[@replica4132]

I am an absolute exhaust clip hoarder, best clip I have heard in weeks mate, thanks for sharing :) (also from NC)

[@ScrufsGarage]

Me too, love listening to exhaust videos. Drives my wife nuts, haha.

[@celimus134]

NC gang

[@manny7684]

Watched a ton of your vids must have just not paid attention but I think this is the first time I've seen your face lol. Usually seems like just your hands. Sounds great trying to get mine back together now hopefully sounds that good.

[@natez0690]

408 rwhp! And oh that sweet sweet sound! Really nice day in NC too. Great video Scruf.

[@ScrufsGarage]

70* and sunny... perfect day for a drive! Though it's a narrow window for days like that... we go from pollen season to sweltering heat pretty quick, haha.

[@Better_Car_Control]

How much timing did you tuner add at WOT? Did you get a conservative tune for road course duty to keep temps in check? I would think an aggressive tune would make more than 408whp.

[@fasnuf]

Nice jack stand rack!...LOL second gear scratch !....Gotta love the lope!

[@ScrufsGarage]

Thanks! It's a super easy design on the jack stand storage. Here's a video I did on it (in my previous garage). kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHTFp42abdikrKs And you're right... definitely satisfying to spin them in 2nd too, haha.

[@joshuatrietch7456]

The corvettes just sounds so good! Would love to try and get that sound on my rx7 LS swap! Good stuff and love the videos. They really helped me out on my cammed ls1 4th gen camaro about a year ago! God bless!

[@ScrufsGarage]

Thanks so much. And glad to hear the videos have been helpful! Your LS swapped RX7 sounds like it's going to be a beast!

[@madballz28]

Beautiful sound

[@ScrufsGarage]

Thanks! I think so too!

[@302vettelife2]

She sounds sweet!

[@ScrufsGarage]

Thanks, I think so too! Thanks for watching

[@theshadetreemechanic6751]

Hey we're in the same city! I hope to meet you one day. I'm fixing up a salvage title C5. Your videos are *very* helpful

[@ScrufsGarage]

Awesome project. You can typically get a deal on a salvage title and end up with a really solid car. Are you building it for the street or track? What year?

[@theshadetreemechanic6751]

Scruf's Garage 2003 with a 6 speed, planning on it being a street car with track provisions. I’m hoping to get into autocross and road courses but it’ll be a weekend warrior until I get more experience with the drivetrain.

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

Sweet man.... didn't realize you were in north Carolina. . Me too

[@ScrufsGarage]

Yes sir, born and raised haha. Livin' that pollen life

[@keithr6827]

Love the sound of the Vette. Do you have it cammed? Do the XS headers have clearance issues? I might get them after this video

[@ScrufsGarage]

Yes, I've got a Cam Motion Titan 4 camshaft. It's a mid-sized cam 227/232, enough chop to keep it interesting, but still driveable. As for the XS Power long tubes, check out my install video for some of the clearance issues I had. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4m3qGqZqMymjcU Some people report not having any issues, but that wasn't my experience. Overall they seem to be of good quality, but maybe inconsistent in fitment.

[@Ricovette]

Great job! Sounds AWESOME! Thumbs up from me as usual... Stay safe... Rico

[@ScrufsGarage]

Thanks Rico! Hope you are quarantining in comfort too!

[@ryandunbar1314]

Now I gotta do a cam 😩😜🤣😂

[@ScrufsGarage]

But it's worth it!!

[@HandSolo1]

Corsa sports?

[@marktolbertc5trackcar133]

Hey how's it going? Im about to tear down my C5 tow rebuild it for road course racing. How did you like the cam motion cam? I was thinking about going with that one but numbers do see a little low. Could find any other videos in following info. What type of heads and were they worked at all? Also what throttle body size were you using? Im hoping to get closer to around 450ish. Please Let me know it would be hugely appreciated

[@ScrufsGarage]

Mine was running PRC stage 1 ported 243 heads from Texas Speed. I also had a ported Dorman LS2 intake manifold and a 90mm TB. You may have already seen it, but there's a dyno video here (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipzIqqyaZb6WnZI) and I have several videos about the intake manifold, etc. Overall, I really liked the Cam Motion Titan 4 camshaft. I definitely considered it a mid-sized cam. I gained power pretty much everywhere in the rpm range. A larger cam likely would have larger peak gains, but possibly more in the upper rpms. So it kinda depends on personal preference. I still wanted to be able to drive mine on the street, so I didn't want a cam that was so choppy that I couldn't run the AC at a stop light, etc.

[@mrallande105]

Oh yea, great idle and having no drone is a plus.

[@ScrufsGarage]

Yea I'm happy with it. It's got just enough chop at idle to be fun, but not so much that it wants to stall all the time, haha.

[@mikejunius]

What mods besides headers have you done?

[@ScrufsGarage]

A bunch. Motor is built. Forged rods/pistons, TPS ported 243 heads, decked slightly, so compression is around 11:1, nothing crazy, runs on 93 pump gas. Cam Motion Titan 4 camshaft. Ported Dorman LS2 intake manifold with 90mm TB. XS Power long tube heads with XS Power 3" catted x pipe, and Corse exhaust. The engine build is documented on my channel so if you want to see anything particular in the build, there's probably a video on it.

[@MarkRockerC]

Did you tune the car?

[@ScrufsGarage]

Yes, engine was dyno tuned after the engine was built. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipzIqqyaZb6WnZI

[@ryanlucascarrasco]

How many miles and is the trans stock

[@ScrufsGarage]

Car had around 68k miles, and the new motor had maybe 2k miles on it. Stock transmission. 4.10 gears in the diff.

[@ejsumski8247]

Are these corsa sport mufflers or corsa extreme?

[@ScrufsGarage]

Honestly I'm not sure. Those mufflers were on the car when I got it and were the only part of the exhaust I reused (headers were new and the x-pipe was new). My guess is they were the Sport because they were not obnoxiously loud. Though the system did get louder going from the 2.5" mid-pipe to the 3".

[@throwingchamp611]

@@ScrufsGarage I believe you’re right. If you look closely, you can see an inlet and exit pipe in the muffler. The extremes only have an inlet and act more like a hemholtz resonator than a true muffler. You might be the only person on KZbin that has LT headers, x-pipe and corsa sport, which is a good thing! Every other video has the corsa extremes, and with LT headers it’s just too much to handle.

[@deadpoolphantomjohn265]

Do you have a cam ?

[@ScrufsGarage]

Yes. Running a Cam Motion Titan 4 camshaft (227/232, 113+4, .612/.595). PRC stage 1 ported 243 heads. Just over 11:1 compression).
