American Racing Headers for sure............... Two 5th gens todate and booth had/have American Racing Headers...

I can't tell you the gains specifically, as all mods done at once on both Camaros, but the sound is just awesome, especially at WOT!!!

Nick and crew at ARH are top notch people to deal with and American made product!!!

Would these headers from American Racing go in with ease on the ZL1 or do you have to alter some things? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARH-1-78-LON...-/221210368914

I have been looking at this and in my eye's the two best canidates are

budget
stainless power

texas speed and other make sets as well the stainless power are inspected by them and seem to be a nice header.

high end
dynatech 14ga 304 (they have a 4 bolt ball and socket connection at the collector instead of a slip fit)

kooks are 18ga 304 wich is lighter but not sure over the lifespan how that will work and are ball and socket but a two bolt design.

ARH (14ga 304 slip fit collector) are nice headers but for the money I can't see the advantage unless you are the personallity that like to talk about how much parts cost then they are hands down the best header for you. I can't find anyting about them that is nicer than the dynatech for the $400 exta.

I am either goint to go budget stainless power ($699) or dynatech coated I am still on the fence. I am keeping this car and all the people on the forums like to go on and on about quality but if stainless works sources good 304 for the stainless powe headers they are going to last just fine. I will inspect either of them for warped flanges and all that before I start to put them on.

Make a great header that gets overlooked a lot

With any headers installation on the ZL1, the underpan has to be cut (modified) slightly.....

And talk with IVAN @ Southwest Speed for killer price

I went with Ceramic Coated JBA Long Tubes and they have been GREAT. I have used JBA in the past and had NO issues. Paid under $600 for the 1 7/8" Stainless and Ceramic headers and $200 for the mids. For $800.00 I received "Stainless and Ceramic coated 16G 409SS headers and mid-pipes. I could not beat that and I wanted Ceramic coated headers no matter what brand.

Check out Padre SS running 10.3's with his JBA Ceramic headers and making 720rwhp with an A6.
