Looking for LT Headers

I know most..if not all LT headers will throw the CEL and require the trifecta tune..whihc im looking o purchase also..

But im undecided on the brand that will provide best gains in hp/tq and give me an awesome sound with my SLP Loudmouth Axle back..

There's not going to be s whole lot of difference in sound or performance from one set of LT's to the next. Get the best quality you can afford. If you can swing a set of ARH and Stainless Works-they're the most expensive headers and probably the best quality with OBX being the cheapest in stainless steel. OBX are sold without cats while the others at least give you the option. There have been some reports of ppl finding rust on their OBX LT's however. Doug Thorley keeps teasing us with reports that they are making long tubes but who knows where they're at with that project. Just take your time and realize that your sound is going to become louder and possibly raspier with LT's and more drone-something to consider.

I am one of those people with RUSTING OBX's. I liked the idea of the cheaper LT's, cat less was no issue for me, but getting stainless was a selling point. Turns out they are cheap stainless IMO. I am not happy about the rusting. Knowing what I do now I would have saved more and gone a different route.

apparently DT can't find anybody to volunteer their car for them to make the LT's. Hell if i lived near them i would for a free set of LT's then only have to pay for a tune unless they did that for free too! i thought about OBX but saw people said they sounded really raspy after awhile so i don't think i'm looking to do headers for awhile. just do your research and you make a decision based off your own opinion
