Per Complete Street Performance C8 Corvette Kooks Headers
In this video we install a set of Kooks 1-7/8″ headers on the C8 Corvette with the factory cats. Then we put it on the dyno to realize the gains, only for the big surprise to be that we went the opposite way. We think we identified the reason why and hope Kooks will address the issue. If they do, there will be a follow up video! The Complete Street Performance YouTube Channel is dedicated to bringing you humorous but quality car content, mostly specializing in late model Domestic V8s. The work we do is with roughly a century of experience between everyone working at CSP, and the best part is we have fun doing this specialized work.
Per Emelia Hartford Kooks Headers C8 Video
Today’s episode is a fun one to say the least! Happy to announce we have partnered up with Kooks Headers and Exhaust to install a beautiful set of their new 1 7/8 304 Stainless Headers and Ultra Green High Flow Cats! Of course before installing the cats we had to see how she sounded with open headers! For the record these headers are not off a NASCAR but Kooks does make NASCAR headers and they sure sound like they are!

C8 Corvette Lowering Collar Install
We install lowering collars for the 2020 C8 Corvette. This car is equipped with the front lift system which means it does not have adjustable coil overs in the front.
In place of a traditional coilover is a small airbag system that rides on a collar. By replacing this collar with an aftermarket collar we are able to lower the car around 3/4″ in the front. The rear you can match with the OEM coilovers. If your C8 is not equipped with the front lift system you can simply lowering all 4 corners with the coilovers.
