So curious since you removed all the heat shields what protects all the engine components from heat. There had to be a reason GM put them on the car?

So you don’t burn yourself. We’ve track tested without the shields and the engine bay holds up fine. Doesn’t raise intake temps or anything.

I just ordered a set of ARH from Paragon, and exicted to work on this. Can you explain a little more about the access required from under the car? I have a quick-jack 5000, so I can get the car 2 feet off the ground. How tight are the access holes to remove the wires and plugs? Thanks for any additional detail!
@ParagonPerformance
@ParagonPerformance 8 ай бұрын
The holes are large enough to get both of your arms in there so you'll have plenty of access! Reminder to remove the spark plugs before removing the bolts for the header. - Alex (Paragon Master Tech)

Are these headers a more impactful mod than the Eventuri cold air intake? I know that they’re both good but which gives more bang for your buck?
@ParagonPerformance
@ParagonPerformance Жыл бұрын
Paragon Headers Gain up to 25whp, Eventuri Intake is up to 17whp. Both are great options. Headers gain more but the intake is visible for car shows. Our best advice is to get both ;)

ARH & aFe are the only CARB compliant headers for the C8 at the moment. aFe includes the letter and sticker.

They are not CARB certified. You could send us the car to have them installed but it may be more cost effective for you to find a shop in California. You can email support@paragonperf.com to see if we work with any shops In California. No they will not void warranty.

How long are the primary tubes on your headers? I have a C8 and all the headers I have seen, seem like their primaries are “shorter” than the ones on the long tube headers I put on my C6 & C7Z back in the day. Just wondering!

They will be shorter than C6 and C7 headers due to how the mid engine design is.

If you're doing Paragon Headers, Exhaust and a Halltech Hornet intake you can expect to see around 455WHP and 450LB FT TQ. That's what we've seen from our testing.
