These are a direct replacement for stock manifolds!
There is no good way to put cats in these without compromising the design. Cats will not be an option but can be added to the exhaust behind the headers by any muffler shop if desired.
I've been teasing with the idea of visiting TimmyC to see if his headers would fit the XLR.
Sunday I took the XLR out for Autocross racing and actually beat my buddy who has a modded G8. Got home from autocross racing with the Boeing Sports Car Club and decided to check my mail. As usual - tons of eBay notices, but one caught my eye: "Cadillac XLR-V Exhaust Manifold / Header / Converter <used>". I opened the eBay ad expecting to see a standard OEM manifold, but lo and behold, its a pair of D3 HEADERS. Price $299. D3 wanted $1600 new.
Could this be real? I was just talking to a couple C5 owners this morning who love their Kooks headers. I also, not two weeks ago, called D3 about headers and they're not making anymore.
I bought it QUICK! I hope this is real. We'll see in a couple weeks.
My vendor status needs to be renewed and I'm trying to get that done but in the meantime my pm limit is way less than the messages that are in there now. Best to email me at T_coel@Yahoo.com for now.
I just purchased EFILive V2 so I can install these and not have to deal with the CEL or tuning issues down the rd. I was trying to put off buying the unit because I knew as soon as I had the ability to tune I would start modding like crazy. Let the fun begin I guess. Can't wait to get these ordered as my first real 'mod'...
do you have any feed back on the exhaust sound from the interior especially at cruzing. Im looking to do the same setup but not sure if I should do the Corsa or just the headers. can you post a video from inside car while accelerating and cruzing. It would be greatly appreciated.
I think my browser farted. If not, I apologize for the dual inquiry, and to others, the dual post. I'm looking for a set of your STS-V Headers. I need them to be able to mount, with flanges, to a set of high flow cats, as im sadly not a racer, and have to have the car inspected. Where do I send the check? Please email me at rboughne1@yahoo.com.
