american racing headers
I have a stock c5 coupe except for a b&b prt cat back system, I'm considering the corvette doctors american racing headers, high flow cats, and X-pipe package for $1900. Can anyone tell me if this is worth investing in, what size headers I should get, and about how much HP will I gain?

I would suggest the 1 3/4 primaries unless you ever intend to build a larger cube motor or run a ton of boost.
Good luck buddy I think you will be happy with them!

These were my second mod. I think there great! I have been extremely happy with mine. The Customer service with ARH and the Vette Doctors was very good, and the product is holding up great!

I was torn between the LG's and ARH's . Went with ARH's and a tune from Vette Doctors at Carlisle. I got the 1 3/4 on a basic stock motor, and love the results . As for a good investment !! Why not

Go ARH 1 3/4"
I just got my 1 7/8'' after talking with V Drs. What a great experience I had with them. I just wish ''THEY'' were closer to ME. With all my checking around I had a lot of shops that said the only reason they were'nt using ARH was because they could profit more by selling other brands. ARH uses US SS, not foreign *%$#*. Look at ARH headers, they don't need free coating,their work shines for itself.

ARH has gone out of their way for me for an issue I was having with another shops installation. They asked me to come to their shop where they inspected the work and fixed the issue all for free even though it wasnt originally installed by them in the 1st place. The people there are really nice and die hard car enthusiasts.
