Default TSP LTs or LG Streets?

I think most agree that the LG Pros and the American Racing headers are the best out there. But they are also the most expensive. I've seen that the Texas Speed and Performance LTs are nice as well, and about 1/2 the price of the Pros or ARHs. And the LG Streets are similar as well. Any thoughts?

KOOKS Is half the price also, and gave my car the most hp and torq, the guy who owns VetteTech has tested all of them many times and he only uses KOOKS 1-3/4" & 1-7/8" headers now. Unless the customer specifically wants another brand. All the headers mentioned up top are amazing, but If your looking to save money then I would go with KOOKS I.M.H.O with the 3" Kooks X-Pipe and High flow cats. Best of luck with your choice.

LG's rule for sure. I have Kooks and I wish I had never put them on - friend and I with similar cars -I put Kooks he put LG's. I got nothing for power he got 28hp at the rear. Same dyno, same guy, same day- both cars were dynoed the same way before pipes added. Lou all the way!!!

I see way too many sets of Kooks LTs in the for sale section. Plus it just sounds weird to say the name. Is it pronounced like the word "cook", or is it "Koooooks?"
