Wortec Headers
Discussion
Right Col and I have been discussing what to do with regards the Mods on the VXR8. We were going to go just go Sports Pack (catback remap Air mod and K&N) But after hearing the Red Bathurst with Wortec Headers yesterday Col wants those also. So the question is is there going to be much of a gain both in power and noise with the Wortec Headers over stock LS3????????
TIA

dyno figures dont lie
..lost me there 
but in the real world her car is faster on the road
?just not more bhp on the dyno ..?? right
her car is 40 ft/lb more than she used to have which is great. Thats fantastic even for an ls1 NA with no internals changed. For me my own figures have more than nailed the coffin on any ideas for headers/exhaust. I spent ££££ on the last setup and I simply cannot see how nearly 4k for an exhaust+headers is worth it unless you're after noise.

true .. but there are other options ..a lot cheaper out there ...sounds like the Xfiles
but the headers on my car , had the engine breathing 12% better !!
Thanks for all the advice again guys

GSD Col just wont look at anything other than Wortec. He loves them and i must say so do i 
The sound that came out of the Red Bathurst Saturday Col recons was awesome
Stig your right we are after sound more than BHP but a little bit more Torque makes all the difference.
I was not happy with my HP figures but the torque was great and we sure feel it when driving. I love these cars

Dont forget the vxr8 is an HSV and has headers and exhaust on it as shipped. Its not noisy because its not supposed to be. Doesnt mean it doesnt perform though.
Dont forget I had 360rwhp at SRR last time with just an cold intake and rockers on an otherwise totally stock LS2. Probably a £600 investment which outperforms all of the tuned & exhaust fitted LS3's
You dont have to do much if you are on a budget to get some good power out of the stock setup.

I'm glad someone else appreciates the "not-so-subtle" soundtrack I seem to have invested in..
One downside - I passed a lady in a golf at full chat; and she swerved out the way. Perhaps she thought the world had ended. It's easy to forget just how loud these cars can be.
Next for me is upgrading the rear anti-roll bar.. then I can be loud in corners too.
