I don't know why these headers are never mentioned on this forum but Texas Speed makes an outstanding header for the C5/C6 cars. They're stainless steel, and literally 1/3 the price of some of their competitors. Their only problem is keeping them in stock. Back orders are common.
Kooks & AR's are obviously works of art but if you're on a budget and can't spend $1K+ on headers, look into the TSP stuff. It's an excellent bang for the buck and we have no issues with them at all. Install probably 15-20 sets per year on Corvettes. Installation is also very smooth as well, something I CANNOT say for one other competing product.

OP: ....Pfadt 1 3/4 headers. Here are some thread for you: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...s-1-7-8-a.html & http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...s-1-7-8-a.html From what I have read the 1 3/4 headers may be better for low end HP/TQ. Also take a look at the FAST 102 - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...st-intake.html Good Luck with your mods!

I've read a ton of horror storries from using cheap brands, I'd hate to start the project and get stuck with parts that don't fit. I would go with Pfadt, Kooks, or ARH myself based on my research. All 3 are still made in the US, and provide great customer service
