Everyone is going to tell you they love which ever ones they bought, I know I do. Search is your friend but if you want my personal opinion on my Kooks I would say its 1 of the best mods I have done to date. They have been on my car for 2yrs now and still look brand new. I think power gains from all header companies are going to be really close but the fit and finish is where I think they are seperated. I bet alot of the cheaper brands will be falling apart and leaking after some time but my headers could outlast the car. Call Brandon at Maryland Speed. He will hook you up but you have to call for the best deal.

ARH are great

Your a cheap ass, get the Texas Speed ones. Not to mention gains are close enough to the same on all 1 7/8" headers. And, your a cheap ass.

lol, I too am a cheap ass. I love my OBX, cheap and high quality.

On another note, who thinks ALL header threads should be combined into one giant one and made a sticky? There were only be 147,575,752,776,183,927 posts to read...lol.

I am running 1 7/8" Dynatech Supermaxx LTs with Dynatech HF cats. Drop in fit, no adjustments needed in any way. Great sound, great preformance, could not be happier. Recommended to me by Ted at JRE and he has never pointed me in a bad direction.

That said, there are a LOAD of top quality LT headers out there. You could pick one brand out of a dozen and get top results. Really a load of good choices out there.

I have the TSP full system, headers to tips(no cats). For 1100 plus shipping that is the best bang for your buck. Like others have said the performance gains are similar and it sounds AWESOME. I installed everything with a friend in under 4 hours. We did have a problem fitting the offroad pipe onto the left header because the the collector on the header was not a perfect circle but we were able to tap(beat) it into shape with a hammer. Other than that slight problem i am very happy with the purchase.

2SSRSinBama · 05-18-2012, 01:45 AM

I got the Doug thorley Tri-Y and his catback... and my installer said it was the smoothest header/catback install he's ever done... but i'm sure that is the same for ALL 5th gen headers, we just have a lot of room to fit headers:

I know LS1 guys are envious

Choosing The Right Headers

LG Super Pros get my vote. Check them out if you haven't already.

Bay Area SS · 05-20-2012, 11:28 AM

I heard there not making them anymore but Im not sure. I have XS Power headers, they look great and made good power. Im very happy with them. I think I paid under 800 for a complete system headers to tips.

mdub76 · 05-20-2012, 12:47 PM

TJeezey · 05-21-2012, 02:02 AM
