I have installed and ran both Kooks and ARH but prefer the ARH in 2 inch.
I also get the jethot coating really seems to help cool under the hood. My 2015 M7 with the 2300 and coated headers runs cooler than my 2017 A8.

Just put a brand new set of 2” Kooks + 3” x-pipe in mine fit is perfect. Got mine from Vengeance Racing. Kooks have been around for Vettes for a long time with great reviews. But ARH are also very nice. Really can’t go wrong with either. Just going to true long tubes and removing cats are where you get power. Don’t forget a good tune once done. Just go with 2” also not 1 7/8.






They come with exhaust gaskets (ordered extras @ GMPartsDirect) + Vengeance sent some I paid for.

Guys, with all due respect, I'm pretty sure you're all smart enough to realize that if there's a significant price difference that there's a rock solid reason why. If all you care about is cost, ARH is not for you regardless of vehicle type. If every other reason you can contemplate for going for the very best for your Corvette is paramount, ARH is your only choice. Bank on it and I'd be happy to discuss that personally with anyone interested in knowing more about what separates us from the rest. Feel free to reach me at 631-608-1986 for the full story. You could also email me at nick@americanracingheaders.com with a contact number and I'll gladly reach you. Thank you.

If you can post here that "there is a rock solid reason why there is a significant price difference" why can you only explain it over the phone and not here?
No offense, just wondering.

The Kooks can more cost than the ARH if you order the green cats (better cats) which the ARH already includes the better cat than the KOOKS standard so it really is a wash
in price plus the ARH seem to do better.

please tell, who ever had a headers failure on here!!?? Why overpaying is so important? Dont get me wrong both company are top notch, always had Kooks on my vette because of the deal i had, not by preference. This time i wanted to try ARH, since there is few deals around! Sick n tired of all that corvette taxs BS, like every corvette's owner are dumb and will pay whatever price asked for anything without asking questions!! Like HRE said one day, if you have to ask, you can't afford it!!
Same thing goes for anyone who paid over MSRP for a car!!

end of rant/
