Last year I installed headers on my C5. I asked on this websight which ones were recommended. I believe C4C5 referred to the Callaway headers as being one of the brands that would be good. I'm not to sure about the Throttle Body. I had mine ported and then polished. It did make a difference in the response. I ended up putting LG long tube headers on my car and I love them. I know Callaway makes a quality product in most every area. Just be wary of the advertised hpgains. My car dynoed at 346 RWHP. If I added up the advertised gains for all of my modifications it should be in the neighborhood of 550 RWHP. The 346 RWHP is reality, however. Mike F.

i agree with mike. the horsepower gains that are advertised are rarely anywhere near what they claim. personally i would not expect more than a few hp gain from adding headers to a c5. the factory exhaust manifolds are damn near headers already. i wouldn't expect any noticeable gain from changing plug wires either unless yours were bad.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I am keeping my ride stock anyway. Stay stock, stay happy. Thanks!!!!
