I always loved watching Billy Boat drive a sprint car. He also makes some outstanding products, but I don't think his C6 headers are that good. They have plently long primary tubes, but the collectors are way too short and have an angle in them. It's just my opinion that those collectors are not very efficient. In my opinion I'd stick with venturi collectors like on the LG's, AR's, or the new Kooks.
Here's a photo of the BB headers, look at the short and angled collector on these:

Ah I see. I asked because I'll soon be purchasing their Bullet exhaust system, and eventually I'd like longtubes with an x-pipe, so I thought that if I got everything from the same brand there wouldn't be any worries of compatability issues if you know what I mean.

The bullets will bolt up to one of the other header brands using their x pipe just fine. Have you heard a bullet/header setup? Sounds cool but very loud. Loudest I have heard on a C6 so far.

Here's a forum member's clip of Bullets with Kook's longtubes, it sounds great.

So far it looks like I'm going for either Kooks or LG. Could anyone PM me who has the fairest price on either of those brands? Thanks a bunch for the replies, everyone!

And look at where your O2 sensors mount. Both banks are in the collectors!
