Lt fit, which have the least problems?
Hello all, I'm rather new to the forum. But have had plenty of gen 4 camaros & firebirds. I just picked up a gen 5 ss and love it. I'm in the market for a set of Lt headers and I have been reading a few posts on fitting problems with certain brands (rubbing, squeeking, ect).
Which brand of Lt. Have the least problems in this area and the best gains performance wise? I have the upgraded quad exhaust and would like the headers to connect with the stock exhaust connection, I want high flow cats as well. I would like to stay around 1200.00. The car is a m6 ls3 fyi. Thanks in advance. |

My ARH took two of us 45 minutes to install (used a lift). Fit perfectly. One small adjustment for a rattle after driving it for a day and no problems since. ARH are excellent quality and fitment!

Kooks, with their type of hook up to the exhaust it gets the least leaks IMHO.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same. Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.  I can't wait for my next Track fix.

The next tier down would be Texas Speed or Stainless Power made my Stainless Works. These are also very popular and you seldom hear negative comments on them. But it's always possible to get that 1 set that has an issue. Depends on if you want to have the best chance or just a good chance that you will not have any issues. If price is not a factor, stay with the top 3 brands. |
