Any experience with C6 headers other than Kooks?
Have any forum members installed Stainless works, the new Dynatech Supermaxx or LG headers, cats, etc on their cars? Any dyno results, opinions? I'm definitely interested in putting a set of headers/cats/X-pipe on in the near future(once tuning is available).
Thanks
Thanks

No slight of Kooks intended
I'm not ruling out Kook's at all. From everything read on this forum, they have a fine system and horsepower production! Just wanting to make sure I've checked out all the choices prior to sinking 1500 plus installation.
Any negatives of the Kooks? I understand their X-pipe is aluminized versus stainless. Also, one forum member thought his mileage worsened, though this would likely be corrected once tuning is available and the mixture leaned out a bit, etc.
Just gathering info!
Thanks

Paid $850 for my Kooks headers(c6) installed. I have been very happy with them and my mpg increased. Other benefits are cooler temps under the hood and lighter weight than stock(makes up for some of the increased weight from the Corsas)

Not sure if their C6 versions are out yet but the QTP Tri Y long tubes look pretty good as well.

About 1500 is for entire system
I'm pretty sure if you check most of the vendors that Kooks, Stainless Works, Supermaxx and LG are at least 1500 for the headers, X-pipe and hi-flo cats as a package. This is what I'm looking for, either to self-install(if its doable by a relatively savvy do-it-yourselfer) or to have a shop do it. I already have BB Bullets on.
Are the LG headers available yet? Also, their cat position appears to be far downstream. Would this cause any codes?
The other products all appear to be available, but perhaps no one has installed them yet?
