Default American Racing Headers

How are these headers? What kind of numbers can I see with it on my A4 3:15 with halltech and quad GHL. You can see my current numbers in the sig.

Good question, one that i've been wondering myself. Anyone has opinions but black and white is what counts. I would like to see a tuner or magazine take top 5 brands (Vette DRs, LGM, Kooks, Supermaxx, etc.) and put on a stock car with no tuning and show before and after results. How hard would that be. Let the numbers speak for themselves. Then this question could become a sticky.

Default American Racing Headers or LG Street?

Thanks for the responses. It looks as though CF members are slowly headed to this brand of headers. Ramona C5 has this header recently installed in his forged 402.
I myself cannot wait to get headers on the car....aggressive sound, correct?

What is better:

American Racing Headers or LG LT street version
