I have a SW 01 z06. I used the stainless works 1 7/8ths. The install was easy and the fit could not have been more perfect. They are expensive but hell, who cares as long as it makes power right? I have not had a chance to deal with any of the other manufacturers, but I would definitely recommend stainless works to anyone with a vette 
. Hope this helps, and good luck.

You left out a good choice - Dynatechs. They fit well, are good quality, and are cheaper than the usual "name brands". I gave $1150 for my system delivered. I haven't dynoed but there was a definite SOTP difference.

They are all great headers man. They really are.
But, hands down...LG motorsports headers are the creme of the crop. Not saying anything bad about any company, cause there is nothing bad to say but....the LG's blow them outta the water when it comes to TORQUE. I have the Pro Long Tubes with 3 inch X pipe, off road,....and it is by far, one of the best mods i've ever done, on any car.
I've installed KOOKS as well but, when compaired to the LG's, they're noway even close to being the same length. SW's look like they are pretty badass but, "I" have never seen any info as far as numbers go,... But I have talked to them on the phone, and seem very proffesional and very cool to talk to.
You probably couldn't go wrong with any of them brother but...my vote is strongly on the LG's.

Dynatech, Kooks, Amercian Racing or LG
DT, done a bunch, simple install
Kooks, need to lift the motor, takes a bit more time, w/ heads not an issue
LG, never done a set
AR, never done a set, the owner is a former Kooks employee, they look like a standard Kooks LT w/ the LG collector, and easy to install, positive reviews

Could you tell us where you got those headers at that price? Thanks

Well let me chime in on this LG friendly page. I totally endorse LG Pro Longtube headers. I love the sound, and the power. No cats, hooked to BBExhaust Bullitt no mufflers. This M/f'r is loud, and nasty. Scares the wannabees away. Makes great tq up top for those of us that want to stay in the top 1/2 of the speedo as much as possible.

LG pro long tubes are probably the best thing out there, but like Tripintaz said you will pay for them. They seem to run a few hundred more then the next guy. Since I have them, and didn't pay what LG is charging now I love them to death. I think Lou should run a sale, give more people a chance to get his product. F Body owners stand by, Pro Long Tubes are soon to be available for you guys too. I have it under good authority that there has been a set for the F Body in the works for awhile now, just testing and tuning to get them perfect. I can't wait, that means more Camaros and T/A's closing the gap.
