Default Headers Dyno Sheets?

So Ive got it narrowed down to either LG Pro longtubes or Kooks headers both in 1 3/4" to keep my TQ numbers up and i'll be running an X pipe as well, can anyone throw out some numbers that they saw after their install? Or some testimonials from each? Probably cant go wrong with either but ive been told kooks has the best coatings available so i may go with them. thanks!

Dyno's are always going to be different even if you have the same model/year with same mods... Every dyno reads a little different as well so I wouldn't buy completely off just max increase but more off the baseline... nothing like a smooth powerband to redline vs peak at high rpm only...

Default headers

You will get a thousand opinions on this but I will tell you what I did. I ordered LG Pros. Great fit . The only issue I had was a leak at the slip joint that took a while to fix. After tuning I made 380 rwhp and 370 torque. They have been on the car now for over a year and no issues whatsoever. You results may vary. Good Luck.
