Default Yes, Another Header Topic

Alright I have done some research and have done a search within the forum. But, I cant find which set of headers I should get that will produce good sound with my corsas and give great hp. I would like to see dyno results. The three I am interested in are:
1.) Kooks 7/8ths
2.) Vette Doctors/American Racing
3.) LG Motorsports
Other recommendations welcome...
Again, I apologize about the topic.
Thanks,
-Brandon

I personally prefer the LG Pro's after having all of them excep the American racing. That said, any of them is a good choice, however why 1 7/8's? If you have stock cubes the 1 7/8's will be too big, get the 1 3/4

I have LG Pro's and if I had it to do again, I would have gone with the Vette Doctors. I took a little tour of the American Racing (Vette Doctors) shop and their design and construction are better IMHO. They're also a bit less expensive.

Default headers

Topic has been thrashed to death on this forum. 1 7/8 too big for stock displacement-hp difference is minimal between the leading brands of headers. I doubt if you would be able to tell the difference in sound between any of the long tubes.
