I have Kooks and have been happy with them. I did not have to install them though.

Where's a good place to order/price out ARH? Any vendors sell them?

With your mods, I would personally select the LG Pro's between the two choices.

I'm shopping as well. Why do you recommend the kooks? I'm very close to pulling the trigger. I'm just trying to figure out the correct size.

The "corvette tax" is too high on those. Kooks are way behind right now but I'm waiting in line patiently. For the price of ARH they should install themselves

I have LG Streets with the ORX and a XER 224/228 cam and runs great! Only suggestion is mock up the x-pipe and weld it up so its one piece, the clamps that come in the kit arent too good and leak. Only planned on cam+heads setup so i figured it appropriate to run 1 3/4 primaries. Maybe a 100 shot later. If you have plans on a bigger motor or blower i would go with LG Pros or Kooks 1 7/8. Hard deal to beat the Streets complete kit for $999.00 compared to a lot of other name brand LT kits out there. Texas-speed has a nice coated setup also and is even cheaper than the LG Streets.

I think their price is competitive with everyone else. Besides you don't have to remove your valve covers and other accessories to install.
