💥Nothing like an American V8 with headers😎
Thank you for keeping the c5s alive ! Can’t wait to get mine. 🦅🏁 LS for the win
RUclips itself applauded you on the 25:31 minute mark. That is how good it sounded.
Can't wait to hear more of this setup!!!
Nicely done
Wow, looks and sounds fantastic. I really liked the look of the new x-pipe and headers after you had them installed. Good job.
Nice set up!!
Fuck yeah I’ve been waiting for this video ever since you said you were gonna get headers
Nice job!
Awesome sound, gonna have to be even more cautious going over speed bumps.
Good job by yourself and friends. Sounds nice for me and reminds me of years ago with my friends. Great video! 👍🇺🇸
Sounds great Jake cannot wait to see you run it down the road
Great job. Love that you take on these tasks and show us the good, the bad and the ugly. All the best to you and your family, for a safe and happy holiday season.
Those headers sound WICKED good! :D Nice job!
That has to be by far, the most entertaining video you’ve done. All the friends laughing, the comments, and the “positions” you all were in 🤪 just made it a blast to watch. Well edited and the content was very informative. My Vert has a Corsa x-pipe on it and have been toying with a header install. I loved this video 👍🏻👍🏻 (that’s 2 thumbs up by the way) 🤣. Hope to meet up next spring/summer when I’m at the lake. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a ton man I really appreciate comments like this it keeps me going 🙏🤙 I love the lake, lemme know when you’re up there! 🤟
@@DriveHub go buy shorter bolts for exhaust clamps....or cut them with a cutoff wheel ..use a nut to protect the end of the threads
Solid Alec Baldwin joke, well played!
Exhaust system looks great. Enjoyed the video.
Nice . you will enjoy it.. I have LG motorsports..X pipe and Borla exhaust.. You will love the results.
Jake I sold my c5 last October but I still get excited when you drop a video on yours. Great vid as usual, I think your channel is way under rated and is probably right on the verge of blowing up huge. Keep it up bud!
Very nicely done and it sounds great! The car looks fantastic too. I had the same reaction when I did my header install on my 99’ C5. Just wait though it gets even louder with the cam install if you plan on doing it. I did mine back in February this year with all supporting mods, 243 heads, and ls6 intake.
This is officially my favorite channel on RUclips, gets me hyped for my 4th gen ls1/t56 camaro I’m building. Keep it up!
Great sound... cudos to you and your friends for installing the headers yourselves! Not easy to do on the ground!
Nice work! I enjoyed this video as well. I am, and have been, sort of up in the air regarding what headers to get for my '97. You already heavily steered me in the direction as far as exhaust goes- mine has a Billy Boat set up that sounds okay and looks cool, but that SLP is exactly the sound that I want, so I'll be looking at this particular brand. Did get black C6 Z06 wheels for what I thought was a good deal mounted up recently and just before it got "cold", I splurged on Z51 shocks and Steinjager front and rear sways as well as endlinks. Glad I did because I found out that a shock was blown and a link was busted- the car was all over the place when driving on uneven surfaces. Almost scary in a sense. So, finances willing, cold air, headers, exhaust and new tires next year! It's nice being able to watch other enthusiasts who document their upgrades via RUclips. I talk about my car here because nobody else, save for a few friends, really knows or cares about what I am doing to my Corvette. Keep rocking the vids, man! 👍👍
I ran short tube headers on my C5 for a couple years - I was told that long tube headers would be better for a quicker response. I'll freaking swear by my long tube headers and the straight pipe set up I have now. Performance, launch and overall fuel mileage is outstanding !!! Not to mention the SOUND !!! We (our corvette club ) does every parade within our two cities and I get Major Thumbs Up 👍 and Cheers from the crowds when I wrap the pipes up !! No one comes close to the pure sound of 560HP at 5000rpm.
Have fun - keep tinkering !!!
one of your best and funniest well done
We need to hear revs, pulls, etc.!
I’ve got an 02 with Tsp long tubes a callaway honker intake and 3” custom straight pipe 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 very similar, very good sound
Awesome video!! Installing header's and an exhaust in your garage is a big job.
I've installed a few exhausts and sets of header's over the years and I would recommend that you install a set of locking header bolts and not reuse the factory bolts. I'd also install a heat cover over the spark plug wires with the new header's.
The only other thing that I would do differently is to add a set of high performance mufflers to help with back pressure. I've always seemed to lose power on my cars when I've tried to run a straight exhaust. It probably wouldn't hurt to Dyno the car with and without mufflers to see if it makes a difference.
If you go with mufflers I would highly suggest a Borla S-Type system. It makes good power, isn't overly loud at idle and part throttle and has a fantastic exhaust note at wide open throttle. It's not overly loud but it's an aggressive, civilized exhaust note with a distinct sound.
I was sold on Borla exhaust systems 20+ years ago when the guys that I knew who drove Vipers in the Vettes, Vipers & F-Body club wouldn't use any other exhaust on their Viper's except a Borla because of the exhaust note that it made. The older Viper's had a pretty bad sounding exhaust note from the factory (similar to a milk truck exhaust note) and the Viper owners I knew were fairly sensitive about this.
Nice job young man 👍.
‘Merica! Nice video. Enjoy the smell of freedom at every stop light without cats.
I'm glad my C5 had long tube headers and NOS when I bought it
Love your channel and content just this Thanksgiving weekend I put. Billy boat Bullet exhaust on mine, and its rippin loud! Holy crap i love it sounds like a nascar. Lol and I have the SLP headers as well I officially just put away for the season I live right next to you in Massachusetts
I remember my brother looking at the 02 sensors and thinking, well I can just make an extended harness real quik. And he did lol.
Happy to see you do this im doing mine soon lets see you do sone ZR1 side skirts i put mine on yesterday
I am not sure if they are still around but when I had my C5, I used FLP headers and system. They had a section where you could install their high flow cats, or a straight pipe. I used to put the cats in for inspection and take them out for track days. It took about 10 minutes to do. I love that you try these things on your own. I am the same way. I can't wait to see you rebuild that LS1 when the time comes. ;)
I got the speed engineering headers last year and unfortunately I could not run them as they sat about a 1.5" below the bottom of the car, glad yours worked out for you
I put the same brand long tubes on my silverado love speed engineering.
I just got my long tube headers n x pipe now putting them on lol
Thinking about getting the same headers for mine. This video really helped. Just have one Q. Did you have to upgrade the oil dip stick?
My setup is similar slp loudmouth , kooks headers and x pipe , really loud .
I just did a cam and heads 😳 it's so much louder now holy hell I actually thought about mufflers again , then changed mind hahahah
the video of my dreams
Like Kevin Robinson so graciously pointed out it appears I will be buying you a belt for Christmas….but seriously awesome video man, the vet looks and sounds amazing
I hope it’s got a big cowboy buckle on the front 😉 thank you Thimbus I’m gonna park outside your house in the middle of the night and rev it until you come outside
Thoroughly enjoyed this upload! Thumbs up from me as usual Bro! Stay safe... Rico
Open the damn garage door when you run your car 😂😂😂
Good looking exhaust Jake !! I can’t wait to see more of the car on the street with the upgrade.
Oh yeah… I was a professional mechanic at your age, and believe me, we all run into little hiccups like you did, all the time… We were just really good at hiding it 😉
My poor 03 is sitting in the garage. Can't get her to stop overheating. I think it's just ait in the cooling system. Taking her in next week to a dealer. Luckily they are far. Yours is sounding great.
I'll ask since you cant tell this from video. How much difference in noise will you say it is from going from complete stock exhaust-> SLP loudmouth, and from already having the LSP installed to now going headers+x pipe as well?
25:45 - Blues / Jazz music name on the background please? Sounds amazing!
Here's my two cents of advice having done a lot of headers in the past 50 years in driveways and garages on many different sports cars. Number one get at least a basic repair manual like a Haynes and read the parts relating to removing exhaust manifolds and exhaust systems before you start so that you don't have to be guessing about basic things like how many oxygen sensors there are and where they're located. Number two get that car much higher off the ground. Number three buy a lot of WD-40 with the snake around and point metal nozzles and soak every fastener a week. And my recent addition to what needs to be done is to watch every RUclips video that exists about doing the job you were going to do with a critical eye and picking out the best tips from each one.
I am so glad my car came with these mods already done. Looks like a pain to do.
How do you get that lowered car up on those ramps??
The air system will be turned off in hptuners when you tune it, it's just a checkbox, then removing the excess when you have the intake off whenever that is (also replace the oil pressure switch when intake is off). After seeing this i'm glad I got the Texas Speed headers, they were just bolt on, included the pipes you had to cut off and reuse, o2 extensions, gaskets etc. The short pipes on the back that goes under the trans are great location for cutouts as well, and just mark them, unbolt that short section, etc.
Did you ever have any problems with your torque tube?
Interesting. What were those ramps you used, and how did you get the car up on top of them? Planning to install my x pipe in a day or so, but don't think just jacking it up in the back will be enough
Good vid only thing I’d say is if you think there’s potential for bigger mods like heads/cam striker to 383 and/or FI and/or meth etc consider going w/ 1-7/8” vs 1-3/4” initially
one thing left to do..........turn tires into smoke clouds
How are headers holding up
lol you were tripping not removing the coil packs removing the old manifolds, they come out in like 2 seconds with them off. definitely delete all those vacuum AIR/EGR lines, cleans up the engine bay and makes working on the car easier in those areas. i had the same reaction when i started up my c5 for the first time after my header install, nice job
Dang my corvette has a very mild sound to it still , can’t wait to make it meaner like yours , also just posted my first vid driving the car 🤪
i broke the coolant temp sensor doing plugs and wires, got a new ac delco one from advanced auto, Pulled the old one and quickly put in the new one, Minimal coolant loss lol
Subscribed bc of the coming out joke
how many 3 inch clamps and how many 2.5 inch clamps did you have to use for this?
One thing I haven’t seen you post about on the C5 is the traction control. Have you had any issues with it? Or is that something that maybe the previous owner had replaced or rebuilt at some point…
Hollow out cats and put O2 sensor spacers on rear O2 sensors. That way check engine light won’t come on.
i’m sad i just put my stock exhaust back on, i was straight piped like you Jake (video on my channel). And btw it’s headers then the mid pipe then the axle back.
at second 11:09 you held the piece that goes from the x pipe to the aftermarket axle back. why did you cut it off the factory exhaust.
No cats and no mufflers. Any issues with state inspections? Deleting the rear 02 sensors require programming out the MIL. They are to tell how the cats are working. The front O2's are the important ones for the car to learn air/fuel mixture.
Man y’all have to all work on ur corvette all ur friends are funny as hell
Does the link you provided, and the cost account for the headers and the x-pipe? I love the way this sounds and want to do it to mine!
Yes it does! Make sure you mention DriveHub sent you!
@@DriveHub awesome! Thank you so much, I will for sure! Is there going to have to be cutting like shown in the video? Or does that depend on how your own personal car?
Hey bro.....did it cause any codes (or lights on instrument panel )🤔.....? And how much HP gain do you expect (which isn't as important as THE RUMBLE 🤣🤣🤤) just curious....🤘
cam next? :)
Turn the clamp 180
Too late, I'm sure, but if you'd put the heads of the bolts from the top, you could rotate the clamps further for more clearance.
First!
I've got the same exhaust on the way. My car is cammed though 💀
Cool cool
Besides louder what other reasons would someone do this?
The factory ones restrict the engine, these will ad some horsepower, maybe like 20-25 horsepower
Because you can.
How are you passing emissions without cats? I’m looking to buy this C6, it’s straight piped. And was wondering what would be easier, getting new cats which are pricey r something else?
get it tuned and you should be good, i just recently passed emissions here in maryland with no cats on my c5 thanks to the tune. if theres a check engine light then you probably wont pass
@@yungtooli he said he’s tuning it right now, but it only has the ABS light because he took off the module. So a tune should do and it’ll be fine?
@@wackysamurai1583 pretty much, otherwise a check engine light will eventually pop up and you wont pass. took my car about two week for the cel to pop up after removing my cats so make sure you have proof its tuned before buying it.
@@yungtooli so the car is in Colorado, and I live in Utah. I’d make sure it’s tuned, take it to get emissions and do the paperwork to transfer to Utah just in case so it shows it passes. Thanks man! I’ve never dealt with tunes or mods that require a tune so I’m still learning haha
That AIR system isn’t too hard to take off. To get the passenger side off, you will have to remove the intake, or cut the pipe on the passenger side back corner like Dave did on his channel yellowvette04.
How do I get some drivehub merch? -concord NH
Hey neighbor 👋 I’m actually having a sale on my store! www.drivehubshop.com use code ‘HOLIDAY15’ and you’ll get 15% off till midnight tonight man!
Thanks for publishing what its really like to install headers.... Couple of hours they say....
You probably want to get mufflers. Your going to be a ticket magnet (bunch of young kids in a way too loud car). Besides, you want 3" pipes all the way through.
Now if you can do a video on what to do if water kills your pcm and your dead pcm melts your wiring harness............just me.....damn
whos gonna be looking under tha car lmao
How the hell do you get away with no catalytic converters? I don't think that shit will fly in Texas.
Shoulda' gone with ARH.... no cutting and much higher quality... more $$ but made in USA... (Upstate New York I think...)
I think you could have tucked both clamps if you would have cut one side of the new exhaust shorter, and cut the other pipe from the old exhaust longer so the cuts would have been staggered. Great video otherwise!
Sell those cars recoup a good chunk of your header cost, I got $1000 for mine
How long did you wait for this shit
Why did it take you guys so long to figure out the best way to install these? Nothing new being done here. 🤷🏿♂️
Not even a little rev...?
MMs i thought this was an American car??
Would have looked better with an axleback exhaust looks tacky with rusty pipes and old exhaust
Heard it for 5 seconds, 30 mins of b roll 🙄
meow
Get a better mic, bud.
lame
