I just put the LG streets and off road pipes on her 05 C6
awesome fit
leaky couplings, but had them welded up and all is fine

you do hear them tick at the collector though, but thats typical of some headers

but again... the fit simply awesome
and makes a nice healthy exhaust note now
and the power is an added benefit (still working on the ECM tunning)

The big three are all made in America which is important to me. I am on my third set of ARH and have had zero problems.

The long primaries and the merge collectors result in a great torque increase! I don't think any one else can claim 39 rwtq increase without a tune.

All 3 are great. I have American Racing and couldn't be happier with the setup

Ford FR500 Mustang Cobra Jet

Dodge Viper ACR.X

Dodge Challenger Drag Pac

All the above cars use ARH, Ford/Dodge has the money and ability to choose any header, they are concerned with results

I've installed over 100 sets of ARH since 2006, best fitment.

I would use OBX myself.

Even that is only speculation. I don't know that there has ever been back to back comparison of LG's versus OBX to show that there is a performance difference of any kind.

That's true Shawn--I was just trying to give the benefit of the doubt. I would agree that the ARH and LG Super Pro's are more visually appealing out of the box, but once they're installed, the only thing 99% of the people will see is the top of the primaries and they all look the same from that perspective.

Might as well use 99 cent motor oil and Arco regular gas also.

That's not even remotely the same comparison but this is not that place for that discussion. It has been beat to death.

Can you send me the name of the 99 cent motor oil that accomplishes THE EXACT SAME THING as $6 quart Mobil1 because you can bet your *** I'd be using it instead of Mobil1

I also guess that Arco regular gas must burn at the same rate as 93 octane?

I'm assuming it must...or your comparison would make not even the slightest bit of sense.

I'm obviously joking around, but you get the point

OP: I have the corsa sport exhaust and the kooks headers on my 07 A6 and like the sound a lot.

Good Luck!
