If you get the right exhaust, it won't rasp. Please don't put testpipes on your stock exhaust though....it makes the car sound horrrrrible. Just get a single like everyone is saying. They do sound really good. Sometimes I would like to trade my duals for a single. But I would do TP's or HFC's only with an exhaust system. Seems dumb to free up exhaut flow, just to push it through a tiny muffler and piping again. AAM is a popular single exhaust and it sounds realllllllly good. You can buy it in different pipe sizing too depending on how loud you want to go and all.
But PLEASE don't get TP's with stock exhaust.

I might as well do the whole thing
So what about headers.. do they even net some power? seems like they don't add much

So plan to do the Arnold meet tomorrow night? can we like actually get more people and kind of make it fun hahaha its always the same 3 or 4 z guys that go hahaha
Lets get a few people together first and cruise up together or something. Maybe we can all park together, iuno. Those meets are so scattered haha

From what I hear, for the price and time and hassle of install, Headers on the Z engine aren't worth what you get out of them. I hear they're good for roughly 13 WHP. So to me, because I've done TP's on my car and know how annoying they are, it's almost not worth it to do headers unless you plan to do a NA build.

If you look in the DIY section, I think someone did one on headers installation. They said next time if they did it again, they would pull the engine to do it if I remember reading it correctly hahahaha
