Default Kooks or ARH Headers

The headers I was going to get is either going to be the ARH or the Kooks headers. I wasn't leaning one way or the other but I found a dealer that offered me a better price on the Kooks headers so that may be the deciding factor.

I'm sure I won't regret it either way.

If you order Kooks, make sure you call and get a shipping time quote. From some vendors, Kooks can take a couple of months or more for delivery.

Thanks for the response, the shop I am dealing with in California only sells the Kooks headers and I am pretty happy with the place so I think I am going to go with the Kooks headers. Thanks guys for the responses.

I would go with what ever is cheaper.

Both are made well.

I had Kooks on my 2012 Camaro SS and have ARH middies on the Vette. Both were/are very good. Nick and Steve at ARH were great to work with and since I don't live too far away had my install done at ARH. They were top notch and I saw their factory where they do the header manufacturing on site on Long Island. But both products are good. Add an X pipe for a bit more power and even better sound.

Hello CPais,
Like the gentleman stated you really can't go wrong with either. The fit and finish is top notch on both systems, they both install very nicely. Plus we have had both on our dyno and and the performance difference is not even measurable.
The only difference is we normally have the Kooks in stock, pending on year and combo, and will ship next day. ARH on the other hand is all built to order.

And you have another choice, LG Super Pro headers. I know many of you are new members to the forum. If so, take some time to check out our Site. LGMotorsports.com We have anything and everything for your Corvette. Street or Track, Carbon fiber and more.
