Why Kooks? Take a look at American Racing LT's. I've got them on my 403. Fit and finish is VERY good and they have a true merge collector.

Now that you have established an opinion on which LT's to go with, AR or LG, can anyone answer the initial question, who has the best prices?

I'm ready to get divorced over buying a set, I need a good hook up for price, so I can slip the cost passed the wife.

I'd suggest the AR headers, simply for the fact that they have a flange setup, rather than a slip fit. Exhaust leaks can be a pita with slip fits from time to time, and car to car.

We have over 300 dealers across the country. If you call me I will get you intouch with one near your location. 1 866 586 KOOK ext 308. And for the record we use a ball and socket desing as well as a true merge collector. We did a lot of flow bench testing and dyno testing the ls1 ls2 ls6 really liked the merge to neck down to 2 3/4. Not the 2 1/2. And on the ls7 we found that even the 2 3/4 transition was to small thats why we made it 3".

I was recomended the Kooks headers by my local performance shop, as I really do not know which ones are the best. They have installed them on several C5's and they highly recomended them over alot of the others that are out there. I really personally don't know the difference.
