I have LG Pro's, if I had it to do over or I could afford it, I'd have ARH's. I've been to their shop and seen their contruction and they have my vote!

I went with the LG streets because I know I'm not going to do any mods to the engine. I'm not sure if spending the extra $ on any of the others would yield any more power on a stock engine.

I am installing a set on a customers car right now I also have them on my racecar and I am going to use them on my wifes race car and street car. They fit great are easy to install and we have never had any problems with them.

Another vote for Dynatech Supermaxx. My biggest concerns is leaky headers, the great thing with these is that there are soft lead ends on the headers so that the cats or offroad pipes actually form on to the headers and create a very airtight seal.

I know I'll get all kinds of flack on this. But, if you're on a tight budget and aren't looking for the last bit of power, the infamous ebay headers are the way to go. Sure, they aren't perfect, but you can't beat the price.
