ARH, Kooks, TSP or LG Longtubes?

Polishdevil · 08-25-2017, 09:22 PM

Being that there is such a price difference between all of these, what do you guys run/recommend? Fit, finish, install, results? I'm looking at 1 7/8". I had ARH on my C6 and loved them.

LG who?

Kooks is pretty much the go to header.
Some pay more and go ARH.

That's it.

I have TSP love them

Many have posted no fitment issues with ARH but Kooks have had some including the plug wires.

Additionally ARH has the BEST customer service period. They've replaced 2 headers for me personally no questions asked. I'm an ARH customer for life, but I always buy the best anyways.

I have ARH ONLY because TSP were not available when I bought mine last year . I had TSP on my 11 and they were great .

If your in the area I'd be happy to provide you with a lift and dyno if you want to run them all side by side. I have no doubt you'll love the tsp setup

Lou Gigliotti aka LG Motorsports. Reportedly makes more power than either the ARH or Kooks on the C7 platform.

I say the exact about Kooks. Been buying Kooks for almost 20 yrs on 3 different camaros. Customer service is above the rest.

Ponyeatr16ss · 09-05-2017, 08:14 AM

personally I tend to buy my parts based on how long a company has been around and what their service is like as well as their customer base.

I love my Kooks. Muffler shop said the fitment was great and they sound amazing. Regarding the spark plug wire, you will need to buy some blankets for them. They're only about $100, and they keep your wires safe!

I had no issues out of the 2" TSP headers on my 5th gen.

What about the 2-piece Hooker blackheart headers?

I believe you're missing a couple of manufacturers.

Personally, for the money, TSP is hard to beat. And I say this while acknowledging I had issues with their headers on my 5th gen. In an ideal world, I'd love to get ARH but, they're stupid expensive. I'd likely vote for aFe or TSP if given the option. Since aFe isn't on your list--TSP it is.
