I hate to tell you this but the price doesn't drop much. I had the exact same thought until I went to the dealership. Supplies are very limited on these 2019 Corvette. Of course, you can get the Stingray for good price but for a GS or a Z06, the dealership won't compromise. If you have excellent credit, maybe they'll mark down a few thousand dollars ($3,000) but never $10,000 off.
So after driving manual transmission for 5 years I have babied the clutch and I dont really slow down in gear. I feel like im too slow to downshift and so i just brake in neutral then rev match to get back into a gear if traffic picks up. Can you teach me to drive like that in ur opening fly by lmfao
Dude this sounds incredible. Been a couple years since you uploaded this, have you had any problems with these? That sound has me considering these all of the sudden haha.
Thank man, no issues at all. Just make sure you have good shielding on your plug wires. I wish I had ceramic coated my headers to keep down the heat. I've burned up some spark plug wires.
Appreciate it. Actually It does it I just didn't know how to in this video. I just give a little throttle blip as it's winding down in the rpm {around 3,500 to 3,000). It pops like crazy but doesn't sound artificial.
Good vid, just what we want to see for a sound comparison. I would change the text to yellow. A little hard to read in the second video from a mobile phone.
Definitely improved over stock. You get immediate responsiveness. As far as improvement over ported. That is probably harder to tell. I'd say the 103mm Katech has more potential to help improve power to the bolt ons over the stock ported. Such as added intake and intake manifold.
Between the two I'd say overall a cam would give you the most hp gain, however a cams potential is maximized with headers. Headers will give you 30 hp without touching the engine.
i know this video is old but im sure someone will see this. I really dont care for the decel noise, a bit too raspy for me. Is there a header that eliminates this or at least doesnt make it as bad?
I only use track mode and stealth mode when I want to completely quiet so I assume in touring mode it's the same as stealth for most of the time. And in stealth when I use it it's completely unnoticeable no drone at all
Thanks. My last dyno on a humid day was 448whp. Based on what I've seen from people with just headers, with my mods I'm probably actually around high 460s if not more.
@@Darkside_C7 thanks!!...460 wHP is about 525 engine HP...sounds about right..Katech stage 1 package is stated at 510 engine HP with Halltech air box, ported throttle body and tune...they just quoted me a stage 1.5 with Halltech air box, ported throttle body, msd atomic intake , 160F thermostat, coolant replacement and tune..no headers or exhaust changes and stated 525 engine HP...your comments are appreciated. Walt
YEPP..CAPPSS..I WAS TOLD BY A RELIABLE SOURCE..THAT ADDING HEADERS-INTAKE MANIFOLD IS ONLY GOOD AT ABOVE...APROX..5-K...SO IT ONLY IS A GOOD THING IF U ARE GOIN 2 RACE IT AROUND AN OVAL TRAC..ETC..YOU WILL NOT NOTICE ANY OF THAT ADDED HORSE-POWERS AROUND TOWN DRIVING IT...IS THIS TRUE???
Um fairly true I think. But the car already has plenty of low rpm torque stock, so it's hard to expect a huge feeling in the bump in torque when you're not trying to push it. That said, you definitely notice it through the entire power band when you're getting on it.
@@Darkside_C7 thancs..4..your responce..did not really get a strasight answer.....maybe im grasping -4 ..yep;straws..i will never race it..just 0-60..+ quarter mile times..now will it be worth it???
Respect for going out in the lesser populated areas for the louder bits 💪
Thank you
I’m glad the c8 is coming out, cause these are going down in price hopefully I’ll get mine soon😬
DITTO 😂😂

iforgotmyscreenname1 right! C6 z06 are still 40k and it’s 2 body styles old. Wild. Paying for the motor and badge lol
yup same ☠️😂
iforgotmyscreenname1 the regular stingrays u can find in the 30s tbh I see a lot I’m bout to get one then jus mod it
This sounds incredible! Best sounding C7 I’ve heard.
Very much appreciated!
Darkside C7 No problem. Have you dyno’d it since the mods? If so, what kind of gains have you seen?
Does the tsp headers have any issues ? Like ticking or rubbing noise?
Idk did you see that honda civic go 100 mph by him those the real spread demons.
Bro that opening fly by was absolutely psychopathic i love your car
Haha thanks man!

😂 ahh, a cuppa problems. Nothing much.
I’m getting the C7 grand-sport next for a fact !! Love that N/A 6.2L!! Raw power all dayyy. So nasty
Nice! All it needs now is a cam and a tune.
This video made me get these headers
That's awesome! I hope you like them. I swear Texas Speed needs to cut me a check for the amount of people who have told me that 😂
Thanks I'm planning to get the c7 grand sports, because it's naturally aspirated engine, rather than the z06 supercharged or turbo
It is the best sound of c7 i’ve ever heard. The only thing i want is popcorn with this amazing sound! Lol
You guys can make it? I guess you can tho
Appreciate it. Actually It does it I just didn't know how to in this video. I just give a little throttle blip as it's winding down in the rpm {around 3,500 to 3,000). It pops like crazy but doesn't sound artificial.
@@Darkside_C7 GOD. I want to hear that sound!
Crackle and pop is the BEST
I bought mine a year ago and it’s gone up $1,500 💀
I just love the c7 omg
A killing machine !👍
I love this car
I just installed a set for the racing team I work with. Sick headers.
Where did u have them installed?
@@LEVEL8RIDERR I just installed
Kinda sounds like those toy guns you squeeze the trigger and it revs up to make sparks, when it was at idle revving up
Yes !!
Good vid, just what we want to see for a sound comparison.
I would change the text to yellow. A little hard to read in the second video from a mobile phone.
What wheels are these?!? They’re perfection!!!
Appreciate it. They are the Forgestar CF5V. Stock 20/19 sizes but more aggressive offset.
These wheels look absolutely beautiful what are they ?
Thanks man! They are Forgestar wheels. All details up in video description.
Damn what are the rims and tires spec brother? Also offset plz that car looks perfect!
Appreciate it man. Stock tire specs. Stock wheel sizes. Offset front: 30MM / deep concave. Offset rear 45MM /deep concave.
Perfect Clone brother I appreciate you got back to me! I’ve been riding on the stock wheels for a year now. Now I think it’s time for an upgrade!
What rims are those brotha, they’re sweet.
Please specify what have you done to the engine?
Hey, thanks for your interest. All mods actually noted in the description. I also have e85 now.
Been waiting to see the G replacement
Do grandsports have the same engine as the stingray
Yes
For improved throttle response. Does the 103mm katech TB make a big difference to the stock ported ones?
Definitely improved over stock. You get immediate responsiveness. As far as improvement over ported. That is probably harder to tell. I'd say the 103mm Katech has more potential to help improve power to the bolt ons over the stock ported. Such as added intake and intake manifold.
Do u hear like a ticking metallic puffing sound next to cement barriers witht he headers almost like a leak
In do. Totally thought it was a leak at first. But nope. Just extra valvetrain noise you can hear.
@@Darkside_C7 i friggin hate it :( sounds like hissing bu i have a fully welded exhaust and vband clamps at the collector no leaks
Best sound starts at 3:48
What would be a better upgrade in terms of reliability and gains, cams or headers?
Between the two I'd say overall a cam would give you the most hp gain, however a cams potential is maximized with headers. Headers will give you 30 hp without touching the engine.
@@Darkside_C7 you gained 30 hp off headers alone?
@@Casino_flo probly tuned
magnificent !
i know this video is old but im sure someone will see this. I really dont care for the decel noise, a bit too raspy for me. Is there a header that eliminates this or at least doesnt make it as bad?
A catted x pipe is what you want.
Hi bro
Any issue so far with your upgrade thinking to get my TSP soon any tips ?
Hey, only thing I would be sure to do is get heat sleeves for your spark plug wires. Everything else is straightforward.
Im thinking on doing this to mine, is it disturbing loud? Or does it sound good in person?
0:24🤩🤩🤩
Golllllly
😂
Does it drone on the highway when you put it back into touring mode?
I only use track mode and stealth mode when I want to completely quiet so I assume in touring mode it's the same as stealth for most of the time. And in stealth when I use it it's completely unnoticeable no drone at all
Hello I love your channel .
Can it use a variable valve?
Thanks. Yes the NPP exhaust valves still work. It's very quiet in stealth mode.
Great modification selection! Do you know the HP and Torque figures with the listed modifications?
Thanks. My last dyno on a humid day was 448whp. Based on what I've seen from people with just headers, with my mods I'm probably actually around high 460s if not more.

@@corvette412 no prob! That's gonna be awesome getting the work done by them.
Man I thought you would have been closer to 480 or so...
Do you have any check engine light issue at all?
None at all. Not with a tune.
what mufflers or none?
Do you know anyone who can install those headers I'm in the north east
Sorry, unfortunately I don't know of any in the north east. Maybe you can find some recommendations on Corvette Forum.
This is with stock catback??? Npp?
Stock npp Axel back.
Texas speed headers and catless x pipe.

Where did you get your wheels?
Hey, check out PK Auto.
How did you tune it?
no..comment..thats..week!!
Did you lower the car?
Hey, it's just lowered as low as it can go on the stock bolts. Not sure if I'll go lower with aftermarket bolts.
Good choice. I think I’m going to do the same on my 2018 GS. Thx
😍♥️😢
Jeeez that thing is beautifully loud and obnoxious 😭🤣
