Default Headers and CAI Brand Preference

I know this is a highly debated topic and alot of previous threads. But since I just picked up a 2013 GS 6M I am curious with everyone's current thoughts are on which brand/type of headers / X pipe and CAI plus tune. 2nd stage I will be doing cam plus heads. I plan on keeping the NPP so I can control the mild/wild. This is my first LS setup, use to C4 and C3 setups. Appreciate any opinions.

Several different brand of headers...I think they are all great. In no specific order...American Racing, LG, Kooks. In my opinion, all CAI are very equal. I would get the one with the best price. Good luck. Great looking car

I can say that the LG headers fit perfectly, can be installed with the car on jack stands, and are excellent quality.

I've had headers on a C5 - 1 3/4" Kook stainless long tube headers and stock cat adaptors. That car had Lingenfelter's 430 BHP/400 lbs-ft of torque package on it and the Kooks worked extremely well.
