Default Need header recommendations

Looking to buy a set of headers for my corvette, any opinions on ARH?

ARH, Kooks, LG, Stainless Works are all top line. Many fans of ARH. I have LG Super Pro Stepped headers and very happy. They make great power up and down if you are staying bolt on.

Texas Speed: good headers, lower price if you want to go cheaper.

Chinese stuff: NOOOOOO!!!!!

Same info as above AHR, I also have the LG step down 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 amd back cats out with a 3 inch mid pipe and Borla ATKA cat back.

For the money will not beat the LG stuff. I would myself go with KOOK again I went with a 2 inch Kook header from them in the c5. Was told this was the NEW set up it would not burn out the A/C line well it did. I called the guy at Kook 4 days after putting them on, it did burn out the A/C all I got from him was sorry and wouldn't do crap about it.

It cost me 150.00 from a vendor in here that made A/C piece to cut and move it over and also cost of rechging the A/C again.. Robert


I SEE LG HAS THEM 200.00 OFF STILL THUR 12/2/2016

There are more of these threads than I can count, yet all of them are filled with the same answer: "Yep...Kook's, ARH, LG, Stainless Works, they're all great! Pick which one you like best!" In other words...no valuable info.

Can anyone describe the actual differences between each one?

There's not much of a difference besides fitment. I have to say, I bought a kit for a Camaro 1LE a few years back from TSP, and even though headers were OK, the rest of the exhaust had poor fitment, forcing me to get some of the parts repaired. I'd probably stick with ARH mid-length with cats to preserve my tune.
