Default Kooks or ARC?

Im looking for either Kooks or American Racing 1 3/4" with cats. Any opinions or good prices around?

Do you mean American Racing Headers ARC? If so call Nick, the number is on their website. I also hear A&A corvette in Oxnard has them for a good price.

A&A can be hard to beat on pricing with the ARH. He also has a local place to coat them if your wanting to go that route.

These are both good headers and I would shop them on price. Whichever brand can be had for the lowest is your baby. Call vendors, many can go lower than advertised by phone.

craig man next time at captree check out my kooks set up, fit quality and finish is superb. And plenty of space between the header tubes and those fine looking spark plug wire boots, not getting kooked.

Anyways, all of these aftermarket headers are of high quality and proven to deliver hp, regardless of the make. LG headers are expensive, and known to generate slightly more torque, than most aftermarket headers, but for the price you can't go wrong with kooks..Also go for the x-pipe and hi flo cat combo.

I do not know about the others, but I love my Kooks - and so did Olsen Corvette who installed them - along with hi-flow cats.

378 RWHP and 380 TQ with a tune on an A6 ...
