header recomendations
I'm still confused on what headers to use for my 07? car is tuned, aftermarket exhaust(calloway), intake. Used for crusing, car shows. would also like to find a used system to save $$.

You can not go wrong with buying a set of headers from Kooks, ARH, or LG. Just get the matching x pipe from the header manufacture you go with.
All of them will show similiar gains if you compare the same primary and collector size.

i just made a thread about my experience with LPP stainless headers. i got the headers & catted midpipe for $750 shipped and the quality is excellent. my buddies were finding it hard to believe they were only $750 new.

For your stated usage, a set of 1 3/4" pipes will be more than sufficient.
I just ordered a set of 321 titanium stainless steel 1 3/4" headers w/ catted 3"-2 1/2" xpipe from JW Motoring plus high-temp O2 extensions and was out the door for less than $1000 including shipping.
If you don't need cats, knock off $125.

I used the kooks 1 7/8 on my 08 vette with the non catted x pipe i bolted them in with a buddy the install took 45min and that was on the ground with no lift. they went in perfectly zero clearance issues. i think any of the above headers are all great i found the kooks the cheapest.

Keep in mind unless you specifically ask for our headers by themselves all of our kits include X pipes, and all necessary hardware, piping, and wiring to bolt the system onto your with no other modifications.

I posted on my headers from LPP as well. They were simply OUTSTANDING! Couldn't of went any better. Mufflers will be your next issue. What will you use??? Drone becomes an issue with ALL HEADERS depending on mufflers...

The kooks x pipe will work with the NPP exhaust. I have never had a slip connection not fit. Better to have a tight connection than a loose one.
