Dude that sounds sick! I just got a 2008 jetstream blue c6 and I want mine to sound just like yours. Already installed the cat back Borla ATAK but it’s definitely not loud enough for me.
Putting a cammed LQ9 with 243 heads in my truck, already had a custom borla ATAK system in it. Sounded great with the stock 5.3, can’t wait to hear it with the new motor
That will sound sick! I've got a GPI stage 3 cam waiting to go in the vette and a BTR stage 3 in the Silverado with carven muffler for now, been debating on throwing some borla on the truck as well.
@@MitchCarveth I mean I love mine personally, mine is a cateye and I haven’t seen a Borla ATAK on a cateye literally anywhere else. True dual with cat delete and an x pipe. The motor is an LQ9 with 243 heads, trunnion kit, 1219 springs, ls7 lifters, hardened pushrods, TBSS intake, TSP stage III high lift truck cam, long tubes, Circle D 3200 billet stall, and a bunch of other goodies. Cant wait, it’s going in as we speak. But as for the ATAK on your silverado I couldn’t recommend it any more.
I have a 2005 z51 manual. It sucks that i cant do any heavy mods, do to California smog test (emissions test)every freaking 2 year. Only thing i did is muffler delete. You dont have smog testing in your location?
@@xavierruiz7725 nice! And that's an extra bummer on the smog testing. The county im in falls under farming so we don't have to worry about emissions. One plus side to living in Washington lol
Mitch Carveth night fury camshaft is the real deal, I promise you it’s gonna wake the beast. It’s from lethal racing, it’s lope is just insane and the way your vette responses isn’t like just a normal camshaft e.g. taxes speed stage 3-4.. keep it safe bro 💪
did the headers fit right onto the borla exhaust system? i have a full catback borla exhaust on mine i want to also get headers but dont want to waste extra money on midpipes i dont need to
No drone unless I lug it in lower RPMs pulling a hill on the highway, then it gets a little bit of drone. Only tuning I’ve done so far is delete the rear O2 sensors.
Are you experiencing some bad drone? I have a tsp headers/midpipe with a hooker axle back and the drone is crazy, been looking at a corsa axle back instead!
Sounds amazing, I’m looking into buying these for my vette but I’m just concerned because the Xpipe that comes with it is on back order atm. Do you know if the headers will mate up to a Texas speed 3 inch x pipe by any chance?
This is a little old hope you can still help. Was the Speedengineering xpipe needed in order to mate to the borla? Or can I use the borla xpipe that came with the exhaust system?
Unfortunately you will need the speed engineering Xpipe/mid pipes to mate the headers to your exhaust. The Borla Xpipe/mids are a little smaller in diameter and mounts by flange to the the cats and also sit more towards the front of the car. With the headers it’s slip on 3” plumbing and the xpipe sits more towards the back of the car. I hope that makes sense
@ absolutely insane it sounds like that with the stock cam lol. I am installing headers soon and will have the exact same setup so I didn’t want to be disappointed haha. Thanks for the reply and best of luck with your build
When compared to Corsa it’s not really raspy, it’s more deep and throaty if that makes sense. People tell me they feel it in their chest when I get on it going by them.
Its holding up great, only complaint is it collects dirt more than I would like lol ill make sure and get some shots of what they look like in the next vette video.
What mid-pipe did you use to connect the long tube headers to the borla? Also what size headers do you have? 1-3/4", 1-7/8", or 2"? I have the Borla ATAK (Cat-Back). I just need the headers and mid-pipe w/ high flow cats.
@@MitchCarveth Thank you for the really fast reply. I have the X-pipe (i think it's 2.5") that came with my Borla Atak - Cat-Back(2009 ls3 Base). Just trying to find some long tube headers with high flow cats to connect to new exhaust. I haven't installed anything yet. Wanted to get all the parts first before doing anything.
Hey, nice video. I just received my Borla Catback ATAK exhaust for my C6 (with x-pipe) I’m also considering putting speed engineering headers on my car, but I have one question - did the speed engineering headers bolt directly up to the Borla x-pipe? Or did you use the speed engineering x-pipe? Thanks
Thank you, and Unfortunately you won't be able to use the Borla X-pipe with speed engineering headers. you will need the speed x-pipe, the longer headers move the x-pipe location towards the rear of the car.
@@MitchCarveth thanks for the info Mitch! Would it be possible to “cut/shorten” the Borla x-pipe with a cutter to make direct fitment? Or is it necessary to buy the speed engineering x-pipe? Thank you
Hey man how much did your valvetrain noise increase with these headers? I know some headers are worse than others and I was thinking about getting a set of these. Thanks
Dude that sounds sick! I just got a 2008 jetstream blue c6 and I want mine to sound just like yours. Already installed the cat back Borla ATAK but it’s definitely not loud enough for me.
Thank you! And congrats! I love that blue 👌 the headers will definitely wake the car and that exhaust up!
@bfromthea7663for my base c6 ls3 it went from stock 389 wheel to 424 wheel. Headers and tune only.
@bfromthea7663 I got kooks, they were expensive but I didn’t mind it at the time

I got a c6 I’m thinking about buying these dope video waiting on the tune video
I definitely recommend them! Thank you and same!
We need a tune video asap!🏁🏁
I'm working on it 😁 Working graveyard right now makes it a bit difficult to meet up with my tuner 🙃

Outstanding! Sounds great. Fine work Mitch.👍👍
Thank you!
At the begging I thought it has a silent cam, but that is fucking mean for just a full exhaust vette🔥 your video was on point 💪
Thank you! I couldn't be happier with it. The Cam will be going in soon enough 💪

I thought the same. It sounds crazy 😬
Enjoying your videos man. Adding a C6 to the channel soon, so been getting pumped watching. Sub'd!
Thank you, I appreciate that! and heck yeah, I am excited to see what you do to the C6.
Sounds f****** awesome bro I won't want just like it
Thank you!
Holy shit is that nasty with the headers. Hope you still have the car.
Thank you! It’s crazy in person and I still have her currently waiting to install a big cam. She’s Widebody and white now.
Sounds great!
Thank you!
did the headers fit right onto the borla exhaust system? i have a full catback borla exhaust on mine i want to also get headers but dont want to waste extra money on midpipes i dont need to
I definitely recommend getting the new xpipe and mid pipes. The Borla xpipe won’t work with the LT headers unfortunately.
I know this is an old video, but you mentioned you had no drone with this setup? Was a tune required?
No drone unless I lug it in lower RPMs pulling a hill on the highway, then it gets a little bit of drone. Only tuning I’ve done so far is delete the rear O2 sensors.
@@MitchCarveth Sounds good, appreciate the heads up on the 02 delete.
Are you experiencing some bad drone? I have a tsp headers/midpipe with a hooker axle back and the drone is crazy, been looking at a corsa axle back instead!
No drone at all with my setup, only hint of drone is if I’m kinda lugging it up a hill on the highway.
@@MitchCarveth which make sense! Thanks for the info!
To me nothing sounds as aggressive as an LS screaming down the highway…maybe other than my m27 on full auto lol sounds amazing brotha!
I'll have to agree with that as well lol And thank you!
@@MitchCarveth Of course brotha! Hey btw does you have the ls2 or 3 in there?
Hopefully next year I'll be picking up my c6. Might have to sell my built Chrysler 300c. I don't want to but might have to lol
No hate to the 300c but I would send that down the road to get the C6 lol j/k man, hope you are able to have both!
@@MitchCarveth me too man lol next year will be a good year if I get the c6 :D
Why is the dash flashing, this is the second time ive seen this on a C6 ZO6 video?
Not a z06 and the dash flashing is from the camera catching the flicker rate which humans can’t see.
This is wild. This is the set up I want. Unsure what headers though.
Sounds amazing, I’m looking into buying these for my vette but I’m just concerned because the Xpipe that comes with it is on back order atm. Do you know if the headers will mate up to a Texas speed 3 inch x pipe by any chance?
Thank you! And I'm not sure, i honestly don't see why not, its basically the same setup.
Do you think I would lose horse power
did you end up doing this? i want to order some SE headers for my car but the x pipe is on back order now as well
This is a little old hope you can still help. Was the Speedengineering xpipe needed in order to mate to the borla? Or can I use the borla xpipe that came with the exhaust system?
Unfortunately you will need the speed engineering Xpipe/mid pipes to mate the headers to your exhaust. The Borla Xpipe/mids are a little smaller in diameter and mounts by flange to the the cats and also sit more towards the front of the car. With the headers it’s slip on 3” plumbing and the xpipe sits more towards the back of the car.
I hope that makes sense
Hey brotha little late but I see your channel is still active, was this the stock cam in this video?
Hey man, stock cam in the video. Big cam goes in soon.
@ absolutely insane it sounds like that with the stock cam lol. I am installing headers soon and will have the exact same setup so I didn’t want to be disappointed haha. Thanks for the reply and best of luck with your build
Videos don’t do justice much for my question, would you say it’s raspy?
When compared to Corsa it’s not really raspy, it’s more deep and throaty if that makes sense. People tell me they feel it in their chest when I get on it going by them.
@@MitchCarveth are you saying the SE headers catlsss and corsa is raspy? Or more raspy than borla anyway?
I wanna see what the coating looks like now
Its holding up great, only complaint is it collects dirt more than I would like lol ill make sure and get some shots of what they look like in the next vette video.
Nice! I am on the way!!
Did you use the speed engineering 12” spark plug wires as well? Or did you change them from the oem ones?
I used the oem red AcDelco plug wires. Plenty long enough.
@@MitchCarveth good to know! Thanks Mitch! My set up just shipped but thought I should snag some new wires while we’re in there.
What mid-pipe did you use to connect the long tube headers to the borla? Also what size headers do you have? 1-3/4", 1-7/8", or 2"? I have the Borla ATAK (Cat-Back). I just need the headers and mid-pipe w/ high flow cats.
I'm running 1-7/8" headers with 3" X-pipe. Here is a link to the install with more info if you're interested.

New Subscriber 👍👍
What kind of headers are installed?
I have Speed Engineering headers
Is this the axle back or cat back borla atak.
Nice bruh!!!
Do you have an aftermarket cam or anything else besides the exhaust?
Just intake and full exhaust right now. I'll be putting the stage 3 cam in over the winter.
Mitch Carveth awesome! Thanks!
It rips!
Is it z51 pack? Sounds sick btw
She just a base and thank you!
borla atak axle back or cat back?
The kit was a cat back, in this video It's a catless setup with x-pipe.
@@MitchCarveth
thank you
Hey after installing the long tubes did you have any problems since it’s not tuned yet?
Only problem was check engine light from removing the rear O2 sensors.
Was it cammed?
Not at the moment, the cam will be going in over the winter.

Hey man how much did your valvetrain noise increase with these headers? I know some headers are worse than others and I was thinking about getting a set of these. Thanks
I didn't notice it over these loud injectors lol I coated my headers so that might be working as a sound deadener though.
@@MitchCarveth lol yea I saw your video where you coated them, very nice job!
Thank you!
I assume you bought the car new? It definitely has a very small cam in it.
I meant used not new*
Second owner, Internals are stock right now just has bolt ons.
Corsa extremes sound so much better
I like the Extremes but something about the Ataks that just hit harder, at least in person.
@@MitchCarveth Corsa seems a little to "raspy" to me. I also went BORLA ATAK...and love them$$
Which model Ataks? The sideways mounted round mufflers or the big cans mounted frt to back ?
Big cans mounted front to back
@@MitchCarveth I have the s type 2s and I actually regret getting them but switching to the “ classic style” round Ataks. Thanks for the input
Please dyno the damn truck ALREADY!
Talk to the governor of Washington for me so I can lol We are still locked down where I'm at.
