Default belanger, FLP or TTS headers

I am looking into purchasing one of these header systems. I do not have alot of information on the FLP other them they do not require welding. I was told the belanger are alittle more $ then the TTS. Does anyone have any information such as how well any of them install. Maybe pro's and con's of each. I am not really sure which ones to purchase. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Just installed a set of LG Motorsports long tube headers and Radom cats. Quality product, great sound. Waiting to have the car dynoed. If you can afford the extra cost this is the way to go.

I highly recommend the TTS Long Tube headers, especially for C5s with only bolt-ons and maybe heads/cam plans in the future. Their smaller diameter tubes help out big time with power in the lower RPM. To me, the power in the low RPM is the most important because it is power you feel everytime you drive the car, unlike power gains at 6000rpm that you feel only for a few seconds.

The TTS actually cost slightly less than the Belangers. The TTS are also excellent quality headers. To the best of my knowledge none of our many TTS customers have ever had any quality problems.

I just got back from Arizona Saturday morning. On last Monday Nate and the crew at Xtreme installed the new LS6 intake and Belanger headers. Those babies sure make my B&B Sports sing a sweet tune. Great seat-of-the pants difference.

A special thanks to the guys at Xtreme Motor Sports for taking very good care of my car and being so meticulous with their work.

As far as I know only B&B Shortys have paid the tribute to the CARB and have a number.

As long as you leave your cats alone any long tubes will past the sniffer tests. Several have been tested.

Anyone in California with a '97 will have had a smog test, anyone with a '98 will have a smog test this year.
