really liked the LG streets we put on the wife's vette

but the best would be getting custom made and fit, thats of course if you have extremely deep pockets to get it done

I just installed a set of these on my Dad's C5: http://shop.huronspeedproducts.com/X...-XSPC5LTHS.htm

They fit real nice and the quality looked very nice. It also already had a bung for the wide band that I installed, and it was right in the X where it needed to be. The only thing I didn't like was the C claps that came with them. I picked up some stainless band claps locally that I used with them, and that worked great and looked much cleaner.

Now I am about to order another set for my C6.

American Racing Headers are fantastic, I'm sure, but I certainly wouldn't buy them because those companies chose to use them. They've chosen to use a lot of crappy parts.
I'm going to back away from these header disputes, doesn't seem to benefit myself or the OP'er in anyway.

Time to move on.

I'll answer this the same way we answer most of these threads on other forums.

Almost ALL of them are good nowadays. With the exception of the ones you find on fleabay for $299 shipped.

With that being said, the only bad choice you can make is to buy a set from somebody who ISN'T helping to support the forums.

Every dealer is here to help but only if you let them.

Good luck and let us know if you are ready to save money and get awesome service....
