OK so now after my pipe dreams of buying an off the shelf 1k HP Burb have died down, its time to get serious about an exhaust mod. Looking for headers and exhaust.
2017 5.3 BB Tune and aFe CAI.
Headers
Seems like all the threads I searched on our forums point to the ARH 1 7/8 long tubes. I'm sticking with cats but will be getting a better collector Y pipe, etc. Is the consensus still with AHR over Kooks? I only ask cause I have kooks stepped headers on my TA and they are nice. I also read on another thread that the kooks don't have as much clearance as the ARH's.
Going to spend the cash and go for the ceramic coated to try and keep the temps down under the hood.
Exhaust
I called up Corsa and they DO NOT have a touring part number available for sale to the masses. Apparently the touring part is only available through GM and they are tacking another $150 just to slap the GM name on there.
I'm considering the Borla 3" touring system. I had a Gibson setup on my Old Ram p/u and that was nice but a bit of a drone at highway speeds. I can't be killing the in-cabin quietness so the sport models are out of the question.
Final Thoughts
Also I am probably going boosted down the road - just not now. Probably a stage 2 cam and heads as well but thats for another spring.
Thoughts on the combo for the truck?
