Default Thinking about getting some longtubes...

For my 99 auto c5. Was looking at LG motorsports and a few others but the options are sooo numerous.

Currently, I just have the mods in my sig, but I'd like to add some longtubes w/hi flo cats, a shaner s2, and get a tune...

not looking for the MOST horsepower...just something that will work, be reliable, and go best with my intended setup...any recommendations?

Thanks!

I'm getting the American Racing headers put in by the Vette Doctors this week, I'll tell you how it turns out. From everything I've heard, you can't go wrong with these headers - both in terms of performance and value.

I have installed many sets of all the best known brands and I prefer the American Racing Headers.
