What headers for my corsa touring?

2007 Z71 5.3L just got the corsa touring in and looking for advise on header options
Thanks

I've been looking at kooks for mine 2011.
But I haven't read anything about them tho. I have noticed they don't make a y pipe for the 5.3

First and foremost.. Make sure you get high flow cats. DO NOT go catless. Trust me. Had touring without cats and it was extremely raspy.

Look into dynatech. Probably the best bang for the buck for a total header/y-pipe package.

Thanks for the info that helps a lot, I do plan on using cats and am aiming for long tubes, that dynatech setup looks pretty good, that is also the only long tube setup I've seen with a catted y-pipe to match

Am I missing something (likely) or are there not many other long tube muffler-forward setups like the dynatech out there?

There are a few. American Racing, stainless works.

You definetly need long tubes. Anything else would hurt more than help.

I will look into those as well, thanks. I have read a few "shortys are bad" type posts, what is the story there?

They just aren't beneficial for LS based engines.

american racing 1 3/4 they have a 3 inch catted y pipe. Ive been installing these on the suvs takes about 3 hours install very easy. Im getting 1 7/8 for my escalade

Thanks that was my next question about one with 3" collector and Y-pipe, I'm pretty much sold on ARH
they only come in stainless, do u usually have them ceramic coated? I'm thinking ill go ahead and fork the cash over for it but would like y'all's thoughts

i dont have my ctsv coated and has less space and i run their headers. If you want to do it go for it but honestly id just slap em in.
