MY C7 CORVETTE GETS NEW AMERICAN RACING HEADERS AND X-PIPE! MUCH LOUDER!

[@dez1583]

Car looks and sounds good, do you remember if they had to remove any oil lines to install the headers? I keep seeing conflicting information on whether or not they have to be removed for clearance on Z51s because of the dry sump

[@TheRogueVette]

I think they did, I believe my buddy the mechanic who did it said he had to do an oil change after words because of the z51 dry sump oil lines. But I'm not 100 percent sure, that's all I know.

[@CARSEVOLUTION]

Can you make a video for the sound in different mode? ECO, tour, sport and track

[@TheRogueVette]

I would but my exhaust is aftermarket now and the NPP Exhaust that comes stock on the car is no longer on the car so I don't get to choose if it's quiet or loud, it's loud all the time now lol, sorry man

[@roelggarza]

I can’t wait to install mine. Just picked up the Texas speed headers and xpipe.

[@TheRogueVette]

That's awesome man! Can't wait to hear it!

[@jmarco4331]

Sounds GREAT, what mufflers do u have, couldn't make out the logo...

[@TheRogueVette]

It's the corsa extreme axelback, it's corsa mufflers

[@lxSinZxl]

Nice man congratulations. I’ve had headers + x pipe on my c7 for a while now and I love the sound. Next step is stage 3 Cam get some chop! You should consider it!

[@TheRogueVette]

In time...in time...lol

[@ZL1Dnero]

why stage 3 and not 4?

[@mobleyMobley]

@@ZL1Dnero why 4 and not 5?

[@ZL1Dnero]

@@mobleyMobley because most companies usually only offer up to a stage 4 cam and anything bigger would cause PVC issues or require relief cuts into the piston

Nice! I love these cars!

[@blasmartinez4707]

Sounds beast bro!

[@TheRogueVette]

Thanks I think so too!

[@godzilla0439]

Is it a good for daily use ? I study in US specifically in Virginia Just saw one with 155k mileage so I was wondering if it’s good for daily use And it’s automatic not manual

[@TheRogueVette]

I've seen plenty of people daily them, it's all gonna come down to what your comfortable with and like or not like about the car, most are not going to have anywhere near close to that mileage.

[@francodeastis6443]

Sounds awesome!! I ordered American racing headers with X-pipe with cats. Did your x-pipe have cats and if so, how was the exhaust smell? Heavy? I have a convertible and don’t want to have to smell that exhaust in the cabin you know?

[@TheRogueVette]

No cats on mine and the exhaust smell gets pretty heavy at times, but that's what you get with no cats.

[@mikejohnson3324]

Tune her?. If so how much gains?

[@TheRogueVette]

It dynoed at 430 rwhp and 455 rwtq

[@ntecl4d]

you didn't get a CEL because of the o2 sensors it came with or because u tuned it?

[@TheRogueVette]

Tuning it made the CEL go away

[@ntecl4d]

did it ever come back again or is it fully away?@@TheRogueVette

@ntecl4d After the dyno tune it never came back, the tuner, tuned it out

Did it required a tune with headers?

[@TheRogueVette]

Yes it does! The check engine light will appear on the dash and it won't go away until you get it dyno tuned

[@joshua_jfly]

How long did it take to arrive after ordering. That’s the only problem I’ve had.

[@TheRogueVette]

I would say it took mine about 2-3 weeks but it could be alot longer now given the state of covid and stuff

[@LEVEL8RIDERR]

Does it get smoke with the exhaust ?

[@TheRogueVette]

No smoke, but not really understanding what your asking.

[@LEVEL8RIDERR]

@@TheRogueVette like during start up, does white fumes or vapor or smoke comes from out of the exhaust?

[@TheRogueVette]

@@LEVEL8RIDERR no not to my knowledge

[@blessedcoelectric6710]

How do you pass the smog check, that is what keeps me from getting headers on my c7 Z here in California it’s a big deal

[@TheRogueVette]

That's because you live in California bruh, "Commifornia", too many rules on cars over there, here in Texas it's a different story, good luck doing anything over there with your car and getting tickets modding your car. Get out of there lol 😆

The person who installed the exhaust doesn't live in Dallas lol, I bought the car from Dallas, sorry man

[@hardhitter5099]

Hey! I just got a red z06 myself and have been thinking about doing headers and x pipe. I had a question if you could please answer! Do you think this would void warranty first off? I wouldn’t think it would unless it caused a problem somehow but also does it require a tune? I saw you got a tune for it in another video and I know that headers do good with a good tune for them but is it absolutely needed? Or would it run fine without one. Really just want them for the sound to be honest. Thanks!

[@TheRogueVette]

I think it would void the warranty and yes the headers WILL require a tune, the CEL will be activated on the dash, you want to have a good tune so the car is running optimally!

@@TheRogueVette Tuning is good to take advantage of the increase in power and to prevent the fault light from appearing on the O2 sensor. But I don't think it's dangerous for the sircular engine without the catalyst, I don't think it influences combustion. Many guys put downpipe without cat, and put a 90º simulator for the rear O2 sensor. and they don't make tune
