BEST Exhaust w/Headers
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?

Re: BEST Exhaust w/Headers
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). Daniel

Re: BEST Exhaust w/Headers
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.

Re: BEST Exhaust w/Headers
Sounds like Corsa gets the nod.
Thanks, guys!

Re: BEST Exhaust w/Headers
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.
