Hey, I have a 2002 Z06 with a different air filter and Borla exhaust, I am looking for headers now and are wondering brand would be the way to go? I am thinking about long tubes… Would any of the emissions lights come on after installation, in other words would i have to get it tuned to make it run and pass inspection? Thanks alot Help!!!

kooks and american racing have some great longtubes!

Talk to Deadbeatrec about the American Racing headers he has on his '01 Z06

6

kOOKS

7

why, is he having problems?

8

long tubes shouldnt affect emissions anyways unless you get rid of your 02’s.

9

You can just delete the rear o2’s when its tuned any way

10

No, thats what he has. No issues that I know of but I figured he’d be the one to ask about fit, quality, cost, etc.

11

gotcha

12

kooks

13

spoken like a true amatuer ,longtibes technically do affect emmisions do to cat placement ,or fitment of them at all .

14

And if they have provisions for the EGR system… but idk anything :lol

15

No egr on these beast so no worries there. I would go with longtubes, kooks or arh are both excellent choices and also get a catless x pipe and get the car tuned. Car will see tremendous improvement and also sound amazing. The down side is your talking about atleast 2000 dollars, dynotune for 500, this shit isn’t cheap but if its what you want then go for it.

ding ding ding

American racing 1-3/4 or the 1-7/8s if you plan on a cam + more.

id do the catted mid pipes unless you like the smell, because modern high flow cats are plenty efficient, and a couple HP isnt worth the trouble of inspections and that nasty exhaust smell.

the American racing headers are about 1400-1500$. if you can handle the install youll save a bunch, but still need the PCM recalibrated after. 350-500$ for that probably

i do not have an 01 paul.

i have an 04 black on black ZED with

-ECS supercharger kit (paxton novi 2000)
-American Racing headers 1 7/8" headers
-American Racing long tubes 3" with no cats
-B&B bullets
-Textrilla twin disc 6 puck
-ECS custom diff brace

wheels and other goodies blah etc etc etc

i have no codes. they turn off the rear o2 and u are able to fail 2 parameters i beileve and still pass.

kooks are great and well known but i went with ARH because ECS tells me they make the most power.

Nasty exhaust smell FTW.
