Default headers

I heard Breathless headers are the best and cost the most. $1450--What do Kooks headers cost ?

No... and no. Pricing is all dependent on the vendor and sales. When the Kooks first came out I got a smokin' deal becuase one vendor said they would beat any price by $20 w/ free-shipping, well another vendor gave me a low ball price just to see what'd happen and to my luck I got them brand new w/ cats for $1160 to my door... they're about $1600 normally.

From www.thelapd.com

Kooks C5/Z06 1 3/4" Stainless Steel Headers with High Flow Catalytic Converters
Code:KOOKS_C5Z06134
Price: $1,549.95

LGMs are shown to make a bit more mid-range torque, but most headers show similar gains.
