If you check most of the thread most say LG and Kooks. When you buy the LGs you get the complete system with high flow cats. I got mine for 1700 shipped and am not mad at all. It has the x pipe, cats and extensions for o2. They have been proven to have the best results from what i have read. To each is own.

The hands down comments will be ended after that. I don't care about 1/4 mile only performance since I use my far more in the low rpm then high rpm so I think I will have one of two sets of headers for sale shortly. I don't care which.
The 1/4 mile guys could care less about off idle TQ but I do. The swap will be about 500 bucks more than I will get for the Kooks. Its my money and I'm bored.
Same dyno....same day...same other mods.

Okay a few things here...
1. No after market emblems (z51 etc); could affect top HP/TQ
2. We will need CORRECTED numbers; we've seen the fallout
3. If using Z06 style fender flares; please note
Actually, looking forward to seeing the numbers; have them printed out on the same sheet so we can see the TQ/HP through the curve.
As I recall you have the 1of1 spinmonster air-intake; correct?

I can't speak for Fred, but I have LG PRO LT's on my vert with corsa sport and it's just a wickedlly bad **** sounding car. My favorite tune is 5Krpm on the highway going under a bridge...it's like a symphony!

I will cast my vote for the Dynatech Supermaxx system. I have the full system(LT headers, PowerCats and X-pipe) on my '03 Z06 and it is terrific. Easy install and paid $1325 shipped to my door. Sound is awesome and quality is as good as I have seen on any system.

1,300 for a part for an 03 Z06? Well add the fact the C6 is still "new" and you get to 1,700

How about the long tube LG vs. the shorter tube Kooks in throwing codes?
The difference of sensor location on the LG and Kooks is quite a bit.
Without editing how many of you are getting codes with the new LGs?

As far as sound - it's obnoxious! I like it, but if you are concerned about drone and being too loud then go with a tamer exhaust. When you get above 3k rpm and hit it, it is piercing ... my neighbor can hear me a mile away when I get on it on the highway on-ramp.
As far as performance, I picked up almost 15 hp and 20 Tq - stock to this set up with no intake, no tune.
