Default 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?

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).

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.
