I have the speed engineering headers and full 3" exhaust system. Had for 5 months now. I love them as far as I can tell, no cracks. I wrapped the headers to keep out engine bay heat. I get told all the time how good my car sounds!
Had Speed Engineering on mine for about a year and no cracks or anything and my car sounds amazing . I will admit people will go with what brands they truly love and there’s nothing wrong with that 🙏🏽
Just installed speed engineering's full system and you cant beat it for the money. $730 bucks for a x-pipe and 1 7/8th headers. American racing is my favorite brand but its $2,000 more for the same results. I couldn't justify spending extra for them. Top performance shops want you to use the most expensive stuff since they usually have deals with them and only like to dyno similar build cars. At least this is my experience in South Florida.
Ayyyee that’s what’s I’m talking about! I knew some had good experiences with them. I already had my set before trying them out but I’m glad you got them to workout especially getting a x pipe included with that’s a steal
@@BLUPRINT1LE yesssir, all has been well so far. I drive 5 hours to school from home constantly and the car is my daily. If any problem come up I’ll share. I went ahead and subbed, great to see good content!
Mannn that’s good to hear because I heard mixed things about them but if you got 2 sets back to back without any issues that’s a win for the price and hp To be honest,
Dope video! I didn't know there were so many headers at so many different price ranges. Now I need to know how headers will benefit me and how much louder my car will be. Also catted vs no cats
Yessir! They increase sound by 20% and HP a bit like 10-15HP. Catted vs Cats is minimal at the end of the day they do the samething its just what you comfortable with
I’m about to make the jump and get a set of headers soon. This was a great video and came in clutch for me. I have a 2017 2SS with a few bolt ons already. I’ve got a RotoFab CAI, a ported throttle body coupled with a Silver Bullet spacer, and an MBRP catback exhaust. Can’t wait to see what adding headers to this set up is gonna be like.
@@BLUPRINT1LE do the longtube/high flow cats replace both the primary and secondary cats or just the primaries? I’m back and forth between long tubes and shorties because of the cats. I’m in a non CARB state in the south anyway. Just curious.
@ the long tubes/high flows replace the primary’s cat. The aftermarket catback replaces the secondaries. You could go with shorties but it worth getting long tubes in the end
@@BLUPRINT1LE I’ll go Kooks longtubes & high flow cats then. However, I’m gonna order a ported LT2 from GPI first. I like the idea of completing the intake side of things prior to the exhaust headers, since the intake manifold is the only missing thing left for me up there. I think the headers will compliment my set up a bit more with a full aftermarket air intake system. I appreciate your advice and taking the time to respond.
American Racing Headers for the win. Think I’ll be buying some for the Z in the near future 🔥🔥🔥. Glad to know they landed #1 on your list. Let’s get it 🔥🔥🔥
What would you recommend for a camaro with mbrp axleback and factory x pipe? I care more about sound than performance. I want it to still sound deep, not too raspy/hollow. Also does the diameter affect the sound?
If you want a deep sound you would have to go with an H pipe system (MRT but the don’t sell mid pipes) but since you already have the Axleback you can go with corsa x pipe or xforce non resonated mid pipe and 3in diameter increases airflow and sound
@@VoodooTNO if you’re on a budget speed engineering 1-7/8 headers with 3in pipe which is standard in all headers or if you want to pay extra and get it ceramic coat done at the same from the same factory, to keep engine temps down go with Kooks/ARH. One of my close friends have Speed Eng with MBRP exhaust and it sounds good.
Rephrasing my question. A CARB Legal headers+xpipe, cold air intake, msd manifold, throttle body (if all exists), the expenses would be around $5-6K. In my opinion, It would be better to save and just get a CARB Legal ProCharger kit and be done with it. Am I missing something on why owners will not go this direction?
Add the cam and it may definitely cost more than the Procharger kit. With my 2022 SS after the warranty, I may just install a Procharger and be done with it. Those FBO prices are crazy high!!
Yeah but adding boost to the top of the piston isn't necessarily as reliable of an idea with stock LT1 pistons/rods... and adds more downtime in general. Where as with NA especially if you can do the work yourself...it's 550-600 rwhp all day. No belts. No relocations. Easier to hide.

I didnt even know why Stainless works headers didn’t make this list! Best headers in my opinion
Actually for got a put them, usually I think of axlebacks for them and catback
Just received my ARH 2in headers ready to get them installed. Hoping no issues with fitment with my Corsa Xtreme+ double x pipe
You should be good! Those are good quality!
I just got the ARH “long system” which is the headers, cats and a full x pipe for $2700
That’s a good deal with that setup

I plan on getting the kooks longtube headers for my 2011 camaro I’ve heard videos but never heard it in person
Kooks will sound good and fitment shouldn’t be a problem. I would recommend them
@@BLUPRINT1LE facts I’ve heard alot of good with them haven’t heard alot of bad
Speed engineering is the BEST no discussion
The best is price regarding budget but the fitment seems to be 50/50 based on people I know who got them recently

LOL! Slid in sounding like Cookie Monster or Mutombo!

Can anyone give more info on if bbk is a good quality for the camaro
ARH MAKES THE MOST POWER TO HAVE THEM. ON ALL MY CARS THE BEST IN THE GAME
Do each headers make a difference in horsepower or is just the brand
No not really. They will probably be +\-horsepower difference But the quality will be different, material will be different and sometimes fitment.
No need for 2" unless you have turbos or supercharger.
Yes😊
I must have got you by a fraction of a second. Never seen that before. I posted a screenshot of it on Instagram. 😂
Sterling Silver is starting to look good on ya lol
@@RaceCar21 facts. I’m not sure what happened there. Did we tie 👀🤣🤣🤣😵💫
@@100GRANDNATE The RUclips computer must know that I got you today. 😂
For my LT1, the Speed headers are like 250 bucks lol
Whereeeee put me on
Stainless Works/Power??
I heard good things about SW. no issues with them from several people I know
Not sure which I'd get, even if I had the money, but ...#Goals
I prefer Kooks but I have seen people use Speed Engineering and TSP with no issues so those are budget friendly if you want to get started
Personally I feel header prices these days are ridiculous, way over priced for late model vehicles
I agree! Pandemic ruin everything
Make a video how to get 600hrps
Bet!
Do headers make Camaros as fast as Mustangs?
It makes them FASTER after the mustangs are modded lol
@@BLUPRINT1LE 😂 I knew you couldn't resist a comment like this.
@@RaceCar21 🤣🤣🤣
Where is your video of your headers ?
It’s in my Season 1 playlist. You can find it in the video section
Quey
The Bronze Bomber..
CSP has the best 6th gen headers
You mean stainless works?! 🤣 yeah but they are good from what I have heard. Idk about best though. Why you consider them the best?
speed engineering is more than enough. You don't have to spend much money on headers.
That’s true, but the problem is not all of them are a guaranteed fit but if it works that’s good.
All long tubes make the same power +/- 5 hp which is not enough to win races.

@@BLUPRINT1LE By a fraction of a second. 😂
Arh and kooks, period.
Facts
@BLUPRINT1LE I'm not dogging any other company but ARH and kooks literally use the best material and the welds are far superior!
They do. I seen speed engineering and TSP and I’m not cheating out on my build. You gotta pay to play out here. I don’t know any fast cars on a budget
