Default lt4 headers

I've been reading threads about headers and exhaust and was wondring what you lt4 guys think is the best header for performace on our vettes. I've got a 96 six speed. Also, do you need to relocate the cats for long tubes?

Yes you will need aftermarket cats for longtubes. I think the best header availible is exotic muscle.

I have EM's and magnaflow cats.... My only regret would have been to replace the resonator with a H-pipe. Let me know if you want pics...

Thanks guys. boulderlt4, that is one sweet looking setup. What did the tpis's cost you?

Also, does anyone know of a comparison test in a Corvette mag, or maybe a header comparison test in general for lt1/lt4s. So far I have 3 different views in as many replies.

I bet yours will be in soon. I ordered mine a little more than a week before you did and they came in yesterday. What sucks is I am leaving the country on Sunday so I can't put them in now!

I will admit that they look pretty d@mn good!!
