It's Time to ruin the low mileage C6 Grand Sport Corvette with mods. My son decided he wanted a set of longtube headers on his c6 Grand Sport Corvette. Since he is ballin on a budget he pick the Speed Engineering 2" Longtubes and off road x pipe. I know that some will think 1 7/8" would have been better but if he does add forced induction down the road the bigger primary tubes will be worth it. I have to say the install of the headers was pretty easy. The X-pipe took a little more work. The 2" Longtube Headers from Speed engineering slid right into place and fit great. They are stainless and should hold up well. I have used them on several cars in the past. With the new headers and no catalytic converters the car is way louder. It sounds good. What is even better is this car has factory npp exhaust with a mild to wild switch. It gives you the ability to close and open on demand. Quiet or loud you pick! If you are looking for a how to install c6 header video or a good quality header that won't break the bank, this is it. Quality of the welds and fitement for the C6 Corvette is amazing. A Great header for the LS3 if you are on a budget. Hit the Comments and let me know what you think.......

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.
It is nice when we can do things together
sounds so good, great looking C6 as well
Thank you
Sounds great! He broke the stock seal, let the mods begin! Coil overs next?There goes all the grass cutting money! Lol
Lol. Coilovers would be sweet
Sounds great Cohen! Any plans on taking it to the drag strip? ✌🏻
We would like to try that soon
I run the Taylor wires for ls1 they work great.
They are good too
sounds like a boat on the lake with the valves open. makes me want a corvette.
Lol.
Nice install Cohen.. your Dad will be there to help you out.. no worries 👍... Travis your teaching your son well on how to turn wrenches...
Thanks Keith
@@TWAMotorsports no problem.. Billy boat Makes a nice stainless steel muffler set up for the C6 Corvette.. there a little pricey but worth it..
Not changing catback
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?
Not really. I personally like kooks and arh but these do fit well
@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
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
Ive ran speed engineering headers on two of my vehicles and i love them. For the price they are hard to beat.
I agree
Travis. Did you sell the hardtop vette? Sounds awesome 👏
Long time ago. Made a video about it
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
I may do that someday
Did you ever upgrade the exhaust clamps or did they hold up? If you did upgrade what did you go with?
Seem to be holding up
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?
Couple days
You get the x pipe too? And do you have stock axle back?
Yes and yes
I love that Ron Burgundy has a car CZcams channel.
He does?
What else did you heat wrap, and has it melted anything ?
Nothing and no melting has occurred
What are the dimensions of your garage? Including ceiling height?
45x50. 12 ft side wall
Cool dad
So you say
I’m doing this rn
Nice
Did you get longer plug wires ?
Yes in the following video
Is it cool to run it with the engine light on until I can get it onto the dyno
Yes it's fine
Does installing these long tubes turn on the check engine?
Yes if you do not turn off the rear o2 sensors
Is your son a University of Kentucky fan? I saw his shirt in the video.. 😃
Was at one point
How much extra HP did you get after the tune?
No idea
"PPP" Poor people problems 😂
Lol
How long did it take?
A couple hours
🎉🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
💪
What’s the difference between the 71/8 and 2.0 headers
1/8 of an inch
@@TWAMotorsportsI mean like in performance what they do
@ugotkicks9295 better for blower
Will this show engine light after installing ?
Yes. Need to delete rear 02s
@@TWAMotorsports how do u do tht?
@remixz23 with hp tuners
@@TWAMotorsports thank you so much. I just got 2012 c6 corvette and i just dont know where to start putting some mods there are so many headers or cams its confusing which one to get 🥲
@remixz23 lots of options
3/8th header bolts would they work
I wouldn't use those
@@TWAMotorsports what would you recommend
Arp like I used here
Did you ever have the car dyno tuned with the headers? If so what did it make hp and tq wise?
No.
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.
That's awesome
@@WhiteZ50Won i installed 2 inch headers on my 08 ls3 2 weeks ago, made 430hp 435tq to the wheel
@@SloC6 Those are strong numbers. Is your car an M6? Have you taken it out to the track yet?
What happened to the obs
Setting in the shop
shop wanted to sell me kooks headers for like 2K+ these Speed Engineering seem like a much better deal and seem to fit really well
I would rather have kooks honestly
@@TWAMotorsports they seem like triple the price? any reason as to why? thanks in advance
@horsecockexpress7612 just way better quality and thickness
If you are looking for performance per buck=speed engineering. If you want to build a garage princess with high quality parts and you want it to last until int's next owner=Kooks. I just swapped from my 1 7/8 koos to the 2 inch speed engineering.
I don't disagree
Difference between 2in and 1 7/8?
Eighth of an inch
Power gains wise?
Maybe 5 hp
@@TWAMotorsports I have heads and a large cam. I was hoping to squeeze out an extra 30-25 wheel
Maybe
It apparently is a lot easier putting headers on a C6 than an f-body.
Night and day easier
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.
Crazy. Similar with my Trans am when they were on it. These fit great however
Why is speed engineering so cheap ? Compared to kooks? Is it a bad idea to get a 1 7/8 Texas speed
Texas Speed is good too
No fender covers ,Bad start .
Has clear bra
Sounds like a boat
You don't like boats?!?!
@@TWAMotorsports exhaust pulses are garbled together… like a stock propeller exit exhaust.
Sounds better in my opinion
