My car with the ARH units made more power than any LG headered car (headers/tune) my tuner (Wongs Performance) had done and the LGs are the brand he sells. Not just peak mind you, but throughout the range. And mine are 1 7/8 so thats something to contemplate for those that think the 1 7/8 diameter is too much for an LS2. You might be thinking Im braggin on them. Im not. We are talking about a few hp. A lot is made about the primary length/diameter but in the end your talking about a few ponies here or there and you will never feel them.
Truth be told the name brand units are all good. I would have got the Kooks from TByrne if it wasnt for the fact that there was a juicy GP from A&A on the ARH units at the time I was looking to purchase. Were it me I would look at DSOMs list of "other considerations" and make them my primary considerations along with price.
Take the money you save and buy some booze. At least you will get some SOTP out of that.
BTW, The Dynotechs started two on fire and one guy caught it while it was still just smoldering. My understanding is they now include a clip to pull the clutch line out of the way.

Addendum: If either of you guys have a torque curve that looks like the one in post #7 of this thread, with just headers alone, I sure would like to see it. From 2500 RPM -3000 RPM, I have not seen any other header out there that can touch them when you talk about torque.

Not doubting you, but if you were making 350 ft/lbs of torque, and up from 2500 RPM and making better than 380 ft/lbs of torque at 4500 RPM, and staying at least at 350 ft/lbs all the way up until about 5700 RPM, with your ARH headers, I would certainly be interested in seeing the dynograph.
Thanks.

Im a couple thousand miles and several months away from my dyno graphs. As I recall my car topped out in the lower 370s so it isnt going to make the 380 cut. Toms dyno runs low for everyone and thats a good number at his shop. I was in transit from Kodiak to Dutch Harbor when the Hawks game was on so I didnt see it. I understand the boys put up a good fight?
