Default Headers for a 99FRC

I have a 99frc and have done a vararam mod, I have also removed my maf screen and have added the TI Z06 exhaust. I also want to add the LS6 intake and get a good set of headers that will give me the best RWHP possible. I know there are KOOKS, LG, TPIS. DYNAMAXX, what makes one brand better or are they equal in HP gain. Please help?

LG's are the best units out there from what many pro's state... Do your homework and make the correct decision the first time...

If I was starting from scratch and looking for my first set of headers again knowing what I know now thru trail and error I would without a doubt go with the LG's.
Your going to see the most possible gains with them over anything else made at the moment.
See my post > Here and note the mid range improvement of 22 ft lbs of tq over the Kooks.
I'm not saying Kooks are bad in any way, they make power they just don't make the most.
It's kinda obvious why when you look at them together, the LG's can't help but add more tq with the extra length.
Oh, and the big bonus is they are much easyer to install..

My 2 cents ^

if you want him to look at your comparison, you might want to let him know the kooks has a smaller X pipe 2.5" vs the LG 3" X pipe and the kooks had cats and the LG setup didnot have any cats.
