Default headers with borla question???

Hey everybody!!

I tried to look this up but I couldn't find any info on it. I have borla stingers #140128 and it includes a X-Pipe, but my question is what headers can I put on my car?? This might be a dumb question but I can't find any info and here in a few weeks I would like to put some on my car.

PS the louder the better, if there's any brands thats louder than others.

Thanks to everybody with any input!!!!

Default Headers ?

Hi Matt , Any of the major brands should bolt right up to your Borlas . Many people here really like the LG . I hear good things about the AR brand and Kooks . I personally have the Dynatech and like them alot . Just make sure you stay with the major brands , they shouldn't differ more than 5 horsepower between them . LG's may be a little better on the low end side of the torque curve . Make sure you are getting the long tubes and not " shorty" headers . I live just across the river from you if you would ever like to hear mine . Yes , they are pretty loud at WOT .

Matt, With an ARH system you'll have to swap your X-pipe with ours. Our system will bolt right up to the Borla's at the axle connection. By installing our system as a unit you're taking advantage of our X-pipe placement which is an integral part of the package. Using your existing set-up spliced in will effect performance. If you need a better explanation or would like to learn more about ARH systems please feel free to call me at 631-608-1986. Thanks.

Catback X-pipes were never designed to be used with long tube headers. I had the Borla Stingers w/long tubes, if loud is what ya want they will do the trick.
