Default American Racing Headers

Is "Ragin Racin" still the best place to buy AR headers? I need a set with 1 3/4" pipes with cats for a C5. Any recommendations? Thanks.

We called ARH directly for a set of 1 & 7/8" with an off-road x-pipe. After checking around for prices they took care of us. Call them and compare. Very easy to work with! FYI ... make sure ahead of time you get the correct O2 sensors sent to you. We had a mix-up on which ones we needed and it took a couple times. Also, they didn't come with header bolts so either save your OEM bolts or get some ahead of time. We went with ARP studs which were very nice.

I'd definitely recommend trying to deal with them directly. Great bunch of guys. When I bought my 1-7/8" setup I went right to the source- literally. Nice to have the manufacturer so close to home. Good luck.

Thanks for the quick reply. "Tar Heel", did AR "match prices" with other sources, or come close? If so, I definitely like the idea of dealing directly with the "source". Thanks again.

No need to price match in my case. I checked many other sources and when I called ARH directly their price was the cheapest. Again, Anthony's customer service was second to none!
