BTW I am working with someone now and we have produced our own longtube header system that makes more power then Kooks and ARH, is made of better material and lighter material and is also priced better. Right now we have a bunch of the C6 system in stock and the C5 system is coming next very very soon. We also have a catback system in production right now for both C5s and C6s.
OK. You got my attention... Please elaborate. Pics? Material? Power?

I'm going with ARH. American made, not Mexican or Chinese. Go with the quality product, not just hype about #'s.

Crazy stuff.
