Default Another HEADER question - don't shoot!

Yes I know this is a very distressing topic but what the hell I need to know.

I'm about to get headers for my 04' Coupe. I already have B&B Bullets with no cats. Soo my question is

Kooks vs. LGs

I only have Vararam with High-Flow Air Bridge and removed MAF screen. Don't think will mod the Vette any more. Waiting for C6 ZO6

How do you make the Kooks fit the B&B Bullets without welding and stuff since you can only buy the headers?? Do they sell a connecting X-pipe?? I know the LGs comes complete

Kooks also sell complete kits with x-pipe w/wo cats.

You can't go wrong with either one.

I voted for Kooks because that's what I have. I also have the hi-flow cats and x-pipe.

I don't think you can wrong with either one. I'd go with whichever one you can get at the best price.

I have the kooks and had my buddy's exhuast shop do the work. They just cut the existing H pipe (which already was a Random flow X pipe), but bolted up to the stock manifolds, and welded an extension to the headers. Since I already paid $$$ for the high flow Random x cats, I did not want to throw that investment out the window. Otherwise, if you are considering the x pipe upgrade as well, the LG's come with them, but $1895 is duckets! I got my Kooks for $700, and the x pipe for $395, and install was about $495. So in the end I saved some money, but it's not as clean as the LG's.
