    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    Hi Everyone, Took a little time but everything was installed last week and I was able to get some videos. I did not get any reving shots yet but I think the start-up video is enough to give you an idea of the sound coming from the corsa system. Both videos were taken inside my garage so little...

    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    Oh nice! Happy to meet up at some point. I grew up in eastern PA (Yardley) and always up for a drive. I am up in the Armonk/Scarsdale area now. Send me a PM next time you guys are around this area. I am actually getting the Corsa system installed this Wednesday so we can all make a whole bunch...

    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    Thought I would post a quick update. After so much debating back and forth I just decided to go with the Corsa Extreme for now. I am going to save the headers for when its time to make more substantial upgrades, most likely when the warranty is up. Appreciate everyone's advice. Will post sound...

    Kooks or Stainless Works Headers for My Corsa Extreme?

    OK that is really helpful. Man I go back and forth with what to do. Catback is obviously the easiest and then I don't have to worry about the warranty. If it made a significant difference vs stock for you I may just go that route and leave the headers until I want to start making real power mods.

    Kooks or Stainless Works Headers for My Corsa Extreme?

    Question for you… is the reason you are changing the headers just for improved sound or are you doing other mods to you BW? I have been debating going headers+ exhaust or just Corsa cat back. Worried that I am going to go the cat back route and not notice that much of a difference. Was there a...

    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

    Sounds great! Thanks for posting. Now the quesiton is will the dealership allow me to make the mod without voiding my warranty. Did your dealer say anything about it?

    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

    Do you have any soundclips that you can share? I have been debating aftermarket CB with factory headers vs Kooks headers and factory exhaust. Looking for the best sound gains. Did you get a CEL with the green cats? Worth the upgrade or would you have done something different looking back?

    Is there a manufacturer that offers this or something you need to have made?

    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    Not sure I understand regarding the CB exhaust. Many factory exhausts are made really well and sound great. Changing the CB exhaust often adds minimal power gains and often little exhaust note differences. IE my other car is an F12. If you swap out the exhaust it does next to nothing and it will...

    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    Appreciate the feedback. Was expecting the green cats to factory mufflers to be louder than factory cats to aftermarket cat back exhaust. If that’s not the case then it’s probably easier to just go the cat back route and avoid any CEL/Warranty issues. My only experience with exhaust systems is...

    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    Can anyone out there speak to the sound difference between factory headers and an aftermarket CB exhaust vs aftermarket headers, green cats and a factory exhaust? I assume headers and green cats would be louder? I have listened to so many videos and honestly I really can’t hear that much of a...

    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    Just to clarify... He removed the factory cats and picked up 8whp. Is that correct? If so that is more in-line with the gains I would expect. Picking up 30whp going from factory to green cats sounds like a lot.

    Is it 30whp with the green cats or is that just the competition pipes?

    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    I also live in NY. If there is no CEL you will be fine. Does anyone know if the green cats require you to run a tune in order to avoid the CEL? If so I guess that would completely void the warranty.

    Help Kooks Headers vs Corsa CB Exhaust

    Hi everyone, New member to the forum. Just picked up my 24 blacking in Dec. Already have the itch to mod the exhaust. I have been listening to sound clips but its really hard to tell if I am better keeping the factory catback exhaust and then replace the headers with Kooks + green cats or if I...
