We've got a handful of sets on the way. We're going to test LGs vs the American Racing headers on my car as well as a test on a 2007 C6. We've calculated the header size using an engine modeling software and are interested in seeing the results.

When did these pop up on the scene? I've heard of tons of people with Kooks, LG's, and Dynatechs, but all of a sudden everyone is getting American Racing headers. ???

Who can tell us the important stats re: sound, power, fit and finish?

What I like:
27-28" runners very closely matched
- will make the motor more consistent from cylinder to cylinder, A/F should be more consistent, the different length changes scavenging and overall efficiency

None of the install issues as with kooks

High flow merge collectors
Options options options
1 3/4"
1 7/8"
2.5" mid section
3" mid section
with cats
without cats.
Full stainless
priced to sell
