Long tube headers
I know this topic has been discussed numerous times, but what is the most reasonably priced set of long tubes for the z? I don't feel like spend a fortune on the either
I know everyone will say LGs or Kooks. But what else is out there that will put deccent numbers to the ground, I am very leary to go too cheap. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!

For cheap there is the OBX or similar, I have not seen them in person so I cant say on quality. The cheapest of the big name headers would be the LG street headers which are good quality.

You go cheap, you may end up regretting it. Keep an eye out in the PARTS FOR SALE section, deals come up!
I honestly would not buy KOOKS, the install is to much of a PITA when others are so much easier. When you do it, get a x-pipe with it.
Good luck.

Melrose, TPiS, Corsa, Borla are a few other names
I have TPiS on my car. Bought two sets of slightly used LG Pros and intended to install them each time. But some one offered me several $100 more then I paid for them so I Sold them each time.
