BEST Exhaust w/Headers - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Blue Flame Restorations · 07-19-2011

Hi all. I plan to give OBX headers a try and want to know the best exhaust to use for performance and free flow to use.

What say you all?

Brett,

I prefer the look and sound of B&B but the Corsa systems have the best flow. With one of the cars I did a Melrose SS system with Dynomax mufflers and have been happy with the result (L98 car).

corsa or b&b

VetteMed · 07-19-2011

Marc Haibeck's testing showed the Corsa to flow the best, and apparently the later (quieter) versions of the B&B are significantly more restrictive. I run headers with the Corsa and it's very liveable at cruise, no drone. My prior ZR-1, with no mods other than headers and Corsa, put down 364 rwhp.

Sounds like Corsa gets the nod.

Thanks, guys!

I did B&B 3" and requested an xpipe instead of the resonator and it sounds sweet! Headers are next and I will be going with stainless works.
