American Racing Longtubes
Currently I have LG Long Tube Pro on on my 03 Z06.
The headers fit well, but you have be patient when installing.
The slip joints did not fit well, but I have my own exhaust tubing bender and expanded the collectors to fit the tubing to make a good seal. No issues with leaks.
I am running the stock catback Titanium mufflers and love the sound.

I have Kook's, but quite frankly I don't think it makes any diff.
Just price shop for one of the two or AR.

Funny you say this. I've been counceled by mine that the Kooks may loose a bit on the top end, but for street driving a better choice, if your going to do lots of racing (high RPM, WOT stuff) then the LG's would be the way to go for a few more ponies up top.
Perhaps this is more accurate....
One things for sure, the Kooks would save a few $$$

Kooks, LG, & AR are all amazing headers. I wen't with Kooks on my C5Z & I couldn't be happier 
I'm going to switch it up for my C6 this time & go with LG Pro's. There more expensive than the Kooks but, I still wan't to try them out. From what I hear... Kooks gives more HP & LG has more torque. I don't know where AR stands in this. If you put all three on a dyno I'm sure they would be within +/- 5 HP/TQ throughout the rpm range. (Give or take).
You will have nice gains with any of them.
