Re: Best Headers (NO2)

LGM's hands down. If you want true long tubes, race merge collector, perfect fit, and Lou's support, this is the way to go. If you can afford the whole system (ORPs, High Flows, X Pipe) you get enormous flexibility in an easy to change package (I know, I've got them). Besides which, Lou is enormously honorable: he'll stand behind his stuff to the end.

See my sig.

Merry Xmas.

I agree, LGM. The SS is great, as mine have been run extremely hard for a complete season, and show no signs of heat fatigue.

I would have to agree the LGM's are the best headers available for the C5. :yesnod:

Re: Best Headers (NO2)

IMO the best when all things are considered: Performance, Quality and Price
are the LPE Headers.

Re: Best Headers (NO2)

I've had 3 of the listed headers above, and have to give the nod to the Belangers. Though, the LPE's are pretty close, but I've never tried them. :cheers:

Re: Best Headers (JWSchmidt3)

My vote would be for the FLP's. I have them on my '02 Z and have been very happy. One thing I really like is that its a complete bolt on system that I can remove if I decide to sell the car.

Belangers seem ok on stock cars, but my concern would be on higher horsepower applications. If you have ever seen them there is a huge "hot dog size" restrictor in the collectors. I would like to cut this thing out and see what kind of effect it has on performance, maybe they put it there for a reason, but it seems like quite a restriction to me. :crazy:

After busting my a5s :banghead: installing TTS's, I think I'll save the money for an all in one system next time (LG or the FLP's). Installation stunk with the TTS's, but finished outcome was worth it. :yesnod:
