Default Need header help for 03 Z06

I'm looking to get some for my car and wanted to know what are some good headers for my 03 Z06. I've used Kook's on my 02 Camaro and loved them, but for the Vette's what does everybody recommend?

American Racing Headers, probably the best out there...

The best three IMO are American Racing, Kooks, and LG Pros. They again some people swear by the Crap-bay headers.....

ARH are a very high quality header, but for the most torque, especially under the curve I'd send you to LG Motorsports for the 1 3/4 LG Pro Longtubes. Most powerful header on the planet for a reason. They make more torque then any other 1 3/4 header. I've had mine since 2005 and ZERO issues. If you want to save a few bucks without losing much either, then try the LG Street series.

BTW LG pros, Kooks, and ARH are all excellent, it comes down to personal choice.

It was a tough choice for me between the ARH and LG Pro's. I went with the LG Pro's.

The Dynotech Super Maxx are very similar to the LG's and are a bit cheaper.

The ARH's are great if you're run in the higher RPM ranges.

Really depends on what you use your car for.

I am happy with Kooks. One thing to remember is that the LG Pro headers are not 1 7/8" if you have a higher power setup in mind and want that next size up on the header. Nice headers though.

LG Motorsports actually does have a 1 7/8 header coming out soon. They call it the LG Super pro.

I have been running the LG Pros since 2005, and I would not change them to anything else. They are a great headers and provide excellent torque numbers.

Kooks 1 7/8" here and plenty happy. I agree on those top 3 mentioned before. Can't go wrong with any of them.

I like kooks, but have heard great things about the American Racing headers for the vette's.

I run Kooks 1 7/8's but just flip 2 coins between LG's, Kooks and ARH's. You will be impressed with all of them.
