ARH fit great, but so do any of the top quality brands. LG, Kooks, etc.

stock fits best - do you really need headers is the question? I keep reading stockers flow well

ARH fit great for me as well. If planning on doing more modding in the future you may want to go 2" primaries.

You don't if your Z is stock. With cam/heads... yep! Or you are really choking the added airflow. Headers on stock LS7 around 15 rwhp max. You can get close to 30/ 30 depending on cam/ head pairing. Primary diameter, stepped etc. YMMV.

I know my JBA headers fit with no problems. I was surprised because of the cost!
Maybe I just got lucky?

JBA makes quality stuff...just not a big following in the vette world.

PFADT headers are killer. Fit,finish and power. Great under car clearance also.
Expensive but well worth the money.

Easiest to hardest fitting:

ARH
Kooks
LG

ARH 1-7/8 falls onto the car. 2" is barely more difficult. I'll be install the ARH stepped race headers in a week or so, TBD on the difficulty for them.
