Hey everyone I have a 02 Z06 and I was wondering what you guys think is the best bang for you buck when it comes headers?

I got the jet hot coated dynotech Supermaxx LT headers, cats and x-pipe for 1600 to my door. Made a huge difference on sound, responsiveness and fun!

texas speed headers and off road xpipe... about 800+shipping. I saw a car dyno 29rwhp from these headers tuned. They dont look as pretty but they make just as much, if not more power, than the 1300+$ longtubes

The question was bang for the buck. TSP is the best value IMO.

Jet hot coated Supermaxx system with cats, x-pipe. WOW is all I can say about the difference. Sound is awesome, "seat-of-the-pants" dyno indicates more power. Kept the stock Ti mufflers and I'm glad.

LGM streets are what I have. They were $1,160. to my door with high flow cats & X-pipe. Excellent power gain & sound. LGM gave me top of the line customer service also......thats part of the "bang for the buck" as well.

Bang for the buck? Easy, ebay headers. Do a search on here for the massive ebay header thread. Nobody can beat the $299 price tag.

I went with Kooks 1 3/4" LT headers with offroad X-pipe. I think it was about $1280 total. I chose Kooks not only because of their reviews but due to their ease of installation, and lack of clearance issues.

A guy put the entire system on my car in less than 3 hours for $300.
