Installing Speed Engineering 2" Longtubes on C6 Grand Sport Corvette (Sounds Amazing!)

[@JimmyDawson1013]

Love it when my old man jumps in and wrenches with me, it's always fun. Your camera-shy kid turned into an awesome, corvette-racing chip off the old block.

[@TWAMotorsports]

It is nice when we can do things together

[@ThisIsNotMyYouTubeHandle]

sounds so good, great looking C6 as well

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you

[@danorourke5184]

Sounds great! He broke the stock seal, let the mods begin! Coil overs next?There goes all the grass cutting money! Lol

[@TWAMotorsports]

Lol. Coilovers would be sweet

[@briantt5690]

Ive ran speed engineering headers on two of my vehicles and i love them. For the price they are hard to beat.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I agree

[@alanperez4921]

One of the headers it’s touching your cooling line .. I am concern on this one .. did it affected it ?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Our didn't

[@BowtieClusters]

I run the Taylor wires for ls1 they work great.

[@TWAMotorsports]

They are good too

[@staleyexplores]

sounds like a boat on the lake with the valves open. makes me want a corvette.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Lol.

[@markb3129]

Sounds great Cohen! Any plans on taking it to the drag strip? ✌🏻

[@TWAMotorsports]

We would like to try that soon

[@derickochoa3983]

im going with the speed engineering 1 7/8 headers with borla catback exhaust fit right onto headers or will i need to buy the specific speed engineering x pipe?

[@derickochoa3983]

???

[@TWAMotorsports]

Don't know the answer. We used stock catback here

Did you ever upgrade the exhaust clamps or did they hold up? If you did upgrade what did you go with?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Seem to be holding up

Not changing catback

[@racerrick35]

Great commentary, love the SE fitment. Finding it impossible to find a GS Dry Sump w/Cats installation vid anywhere😟 sounds like you’ve done a few of these, any significant differences I should be aware of?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Not really. I personally like kooks and arh but these do fit well

[@justinstamey6178]

@racerrick35 did you find an install vid or did you attempt for your G6 M6 Dry Sump? I’m in the same boat with my 13 GS and so close to pulling the trigger on headers

[@racerrick35]

I found one, but the instructions were useless, and the OP never responded. It eventually disappeared from YT. Are you in an emissions area?​@@justinstamey6178

[@joeyasbrock]

Is it cool to run it with the engine light on until I can get it onto the dyno

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes it's fine

[@diwyatt3839]

I just ordered some and the manufacturing date was pushed back a month. How long did it take for you to get yours after ordering?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Couple days

[@kB-df7dn]

How much extra HP did you get after the tune?

[@TWAMotorsports]

No idea

[@ynsgaming2364]

What else did you heat wrap, and has it melted anything ?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Nothing and no melting has occurred

[@jeremyrossello3234]

You get the x pipe too? And do you have stock axle back?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes and yes

[@wokmaster4146]

Does installing these long tubes turn on the check engine?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes if you do not turn off the rear o2 sensors

[@TWAMotorsports]

So you say

[@El_cuhnbs03]

Make a video with your nbs installing the newer header from speed engineering 2inch headers and compare it to the old ones the 1 7/8 or 1 3/4

[@TWAMotorsports]

I may do that someday

[@marklengal9990]

Travis. Did you sell the hardtop vette? Sounds awesome 👏

[@TWAMotorsports]

Long time ago. Made a video about it

Why is speed engineering so cheap ? Compared to kooks? Is it a bad idea to get a 1 7/8 Texas speed

[@TWAMotorsports]

Texas Speed is good too

[@SloC6]

Did you ever have the car dyno tuned with the headers? If so what did it make hp and tq wise?

[@TWAMotorsports]

No.

[@WhiteZ50Won]

I installed the 1 7/8 SE headers on my 08 ls3 paired with a vararam and my car made 413/412. Very strong gains throughout the mid range. Went from 12.4 best stock pass @ 116 down to 11.82 @ 121. Feels like a completely different car. Mine sounds exactly like his on idle with the npp open.

It apparently is a lot easier putting headers on a C6 than an f-body.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Night and day easier

[@danieldinkins6825]

My speed engineering headers on my f body(installed by previous owner) fit like crap. Thought a umi k member would improve clearance and fit but was actually worse than stock k member. SE headers vibrated against stock k member but they are hard against umi k member.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Crazy. Similar with my Trans am when they were on it. These fit great however
