I paid $640 for my new corsa sport ;). And thats what I figured. Im new to the whole truck modding thing. Ill probably scoop these headers up in the spring time and wait to install. My thing is I want a cam/bottle and dont feel like installing headers then dropping the trans shortly after to build. I wanna do it all at once. I need to really see how soon I am trying to do this. How hard of an install were the headers? drop the diff or need to jack the motor up?

Buy my exhaust! haha

The OBX headers mount up directly to the OEM exhaust or the Corsa Exhaust with no problem. My entire exhaust system is aftermarket (not stock).

Nope, literally a direct fitment. They clear the steering column, transfer case, and don't need to drop the differential or jack the motor up. The hardest part is installing the new Y-pipe. The location where the pipe mets the exhaust is a PITA!

not sure if your happy but on a buddies truck i did 1 7/8 kooks long tubes with no cats and he had heads/cam and yank 3200 on converter on his tahoe. For muffler i just used a magnaflow straight thru one ane its perefect. Loud as hell when you get on it but normal driving no drone.

If you want i can get you a part number. is your exhaust 3 or 2.5?

looks like that one would work fine, but $$. how much was oem?

OEM is like $20ish. I don't care about the price, as long as it works.

I actually purchased a Corsa Touring Exhaust. I am currently running the Corsa Sport, but it is just WAY too loud. Touring I think will be perfect for me.
