Any reason that c6 headers are more expensive than c5, other than the obvious assumption that c6 owners as a rule spend more on their cars, so they should spend more on aftermarket parts also.

Gunnerrun, ARH C6 systems cost a bit more simply because the C6 requires the use of extension harnesses for both the front and rear O2's. C5's don't need them thus the price difference.

Nick.

Thanks for your reply. I looked at another brand and there was a $200 difference. Seems a bit much based on O2 harness extensions. I'll take a look at the ARH system.

Regards, Jim

Always call around for pricing on something like headers. A lot of time there are MAP policies that affect what you see on websites.
