I am patial to KOOK's as I run them -

But performace wise they are all really close in HP turn out

Fit is a different story - but the two you selected are among the front runners

Thanks,Matt

Both are great choices and I ran AR 1 7/8 on my boosted C5 and the fit, finish and sound are second to none

My 01 with bolt ons is running the ARH 1 3/4 and my boosted ride is running the ARH 1 7/8. Fit and finish is outstanding.

Both of those headers are very good - I don't think you would go wrong with either one.

Between those 2 I would go with the kooks.

But between all the headers out there I would go with the LG streets. You can't beat the price and they will make within a couple HP of the two you listed and make more lowend torque. And you can get them for about half the price.
