Default vette doc/american racing headers update

I drove by the vette doc shop today to thank carmen and dennis again .
my new american racing headers are GREAT!! The car runs nice.
Im very happy i didnt go with LG headers. These headers are less $$ and have an easy installation.
Just to let you guys know, the head designer for KOOKS is now american racing. same guy. but better design.
if ur thinking about headers, call carmen up at vette doc. u wont go wrong.
my bro have a z06, he is getting them installed asap.

here is what i said last week.
thank carmen
see u soon

Vette doc and american racing headers just installed their new headers on my 2002 ls1
Very very very happy!!!! These headers rock. The car sounds mean!! when you get on it, its like a true muscle car.
here are the results

rwhp 322.6

My bro has a 2003 zo6, and after driving my car, I think i can beat him. The car runs great!!!
You can feel the difference.
