Best Headers?

I have a 2011 V6 Camaro, and I was looking for ways to improve speed. I hear headers are a good option. Ive reas that long tube headers are the better choice for speed. Which Headers are the best, and give the best gains?

Idk about the best. But most LT's give about the same gains.
I would recommend the BBK'S, good gains coming from my butt dyno and made my exhaust sound better. OBX is another popular choice, while also being a little cheaper than BBK'S

I recommend the BBK headers for the LLT as well. They come in a few options from coated mild steel to stainless steel. Please feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions or pricing.

Best regards,

If you don't have inspections you can't beat obx for performance and price. Absolutetly love mine. As was stated earlier the gains are pretty much the same between headers.

I thought running catless makes the sound more raspy
