You guys forget about Dynotechs......
On my 97 with Vararam and Dynotech Lts, and Borla straight pipes I gained 47RWHP and 52RWTQ
Dynotechs are pretty much same headers setup as the LG just without a 3 inch merge connector.
and KOOKS by the way are not 100$ stainless Steel..... only the primary tubes are SS the rest of the system is ALUMINIZED STEEL fo some sort.......
I never heard a Problem with DYNOTECH headers, FIT, FINISH, QUALITY is second to none. And Dynotech make headers for a lot of applications not just a C5/C6.
LET THE HEADER WARS BEGIN.............

Must admit, those numbers posted for American Racing and Dynatech are very impressive.

They were offering the street series kit for $999. Add $200 for the cats and $38 for gaskets.

Headers
LG has a special right now on the Street Series with cats under $1,200.00 shipped to your door. Great deal, but you have until July 4, 2006. They have it posted in one of these sections...

Well, since we're on the topic of headers, who manufactures an 1 3/4" header system that is flange bolted, front to rear? Long or short?
Not slip fit / muffler clamp technology.
I'd like to continue to use my Z06 Titanium mufflers.

If the longtubes have the same size primaries and collectors and are both coated or both uncoated will perform the same. Buying Brand A or Brand B will not matter in the performance dept. What you should be concerned about is ease of install, thickness of the flanges, how well others have said they will last. (Note: just becuase somebody said "oh they haven't rusted on my car for x amount of years" doesn't mean they will last that long for your application.) You need to pay attention to your climate vs theirs. Ceramic coated longtubes in the climate I am in only last a little over a year before they start to flake and rust. Where as in AZ they will last significantly longer.
