RATING HEADERS???
What makes headers so much better than others??? common since would say build qaulity just like anything else, but is it worth it to spend more on top brands such as ARH, Kooks or is the HP diff not that much diff??? Also do diff headers sound diff!!! This is something that I dont really have much expierence in as I have only owned a set of Hookers. I plan on getting ARH or Kooks.

To achieve the sound you want you have to combo the headers and the exhaust system for those tones. Have you considered Stainless Works? The Camaros that were starting up under and around the Tom Henry tent at Carlisle this past weekend were equipped from Stainless Works. Anyone who heard them can chime in with an opinion...I just happen to like the rumble it puts out on my Camaro. |

yes different brands have different sounds...
the cheaper ones use thin wall pipe...and the coated ones will eventually rust... teh high end products are usually stainless so they don't rust/pit and on the older f-bodys usually fit better... |

ARH made 42rwhp/42rwtq on my L99 with tune. I'd have to say I'm pretty pleased. The sound is nasty @ WOT and quiet as stock when cruising at 75mph.

I like to have choices when it comes to collectors and primary sizes. I like the companies you mentioned because they meet most, if not all of my criteria, based off of my understanding and experience. Cost is an issue too, however, I'd rather pay $1200 once and not $500 and then another $1200 a couple years later when I realize I didn't get what I really wanted or expected. JMVHO

I've been there - done that - and it was expensive. I hope people don't make the same mistakes I did

I really don't like how HP numbers are just thrown around to make some products look better than the competitors... It should be average stock vs. average upgraded....

Guys I'd very much be willing to work with some of you guys & do back to back engine & dyno testing with all the different header brands if you'd like. I personally have a few sets of ARH headers here & they are super nice! We also will have the Kooks here, and I will have our TSP header system here within a couple weeks! I'd be more than happy to work with you guys to get before & after of each header in comparison, but we'd need to get a few independent guys here at the same time. Maybe if I could find buyers for a set of the ARH, and Kooks headers ahead of time we could use them for testing on a test car prior to shipping them off to the customer. As a result of course I'd be willing to give them a good discount for us putting 4-5 miles on dyno time on they're headers!
