What have you heard about the 1 3/4 lg pros ?? I've had them on my ride, and no problems since 2005.

I looked at the big three (Kooks, AR, and LG) and I saw each of them on C5Z. For me, I think the Kooks is a better header. Kooks have been getting TONS of props for years! I have the 1 7/8 on my Z and am very pleased.

Stick with the Kooks!!!

Thanks for all of the advice, I have not come to a final conclusion due to some $$ issues and not being able to afford any of them right now. I loved the Kooks on my SS, and have heard nothing but good things about the LG, but the ARH's are a fairly new product to me. I would definitely like to see each on a car to see fitment, if anybody has pics.

I had LG Pro Long Tubes on my C5 Z06. IMHO - They are the best you can buy.

Just ordered a set of LG Super Pro 1 7/8 Long Tubes for one of my C6 Z's with LG Cats.

I would go with LG Super Pro 1 3/4 Long Tubes for you car. You will love them.

I haven't heard anything about them. I don't know anyone with them. I have been reading & asking a lot of vette questions lately.

Thinking about either a C5 Z06 or a C6 myself.

They make killer torque, and are out doing the competition in low end torque, and matching hp up top. LG Motorsports is releasing the all new 1 7/8 LG Super pros with a NEW merge collector. The 1 3/4 headers are also going to get this new merge collector. Just going to have to wait, can't say anything else.
