Default Longtube Header?

Bottom line, Which is better looking, longer lasting, and makes the most power ! 1 /78 Lgm's, 1 78 kooks, or 1 /78 dynotech longtubes on an aggressive 346 Head/cam set-up ?

I went with the LG Longtubes on my H/C set-up & highly recommend them!
They make some serious hp!

That is a nice looking heat shield, where did you get that? Looks like it would do a nice job protecting the O2 wires.

Thanks

I thought the LGMs where 1 3/4.

I would go with the LGMs. Lou continually sets new benchmarks on C5 products ranging from Coil Overs to Heads and Cam packages.
