You can also check the C4 parts for sales section and scan down the page for the CF group buy from STAINLESS WORKS.

these are not inexpensive however everyone that I read about who has them loves them. One reason is that the primaries at 1 5/8 a just a little smaller in size than the normal 1 3/4. This seems to promote more lowend torq on stock motors and it's easier to get at your spark plugs.

You have to read the posts & call them and judge for yourself

“Stainless Works” offers long tube headers for the 92-96 LT1 Corvettes in two different configurations. The headers with 3.000” off-road lead-pipes, part number “C492-96” retail for $943.95. The headers with the 2.500” lead-pipes & high-flow cats, part number “C492-96CAT” retail for $1258.95. They both have 1.625” primary tubes and are made entirely of 304-stainless steel. There is still time left to take advantage of the “group purchase” special offer; $50.00 off of the retail pricing plus free ground shipping anywhere within the continental U.S. This offer is good until the end of January 2006. Send us an e-mail at info@stainlessworks.net for further details.

Thanks,
Scott

I didn't think that Kooks made anything for a C4, at least the last I knew. Stainless Works has engineered a set especially for the automatics where you can put the RT bullet cats next to the transmission, right off of the headers. They have a GP going on right now in the C4 Parts For Sale section.
