Headers for a 402ci LS2 with LS7 style Heads? Hey guys. I am trying to decide what headers to get for my 402. The 402 has ETP's LS7 heads for the 4.00" bore. I am getting mixed opinions from everyone and I am on the fence, so I need someone to push me off. lol.
I think I narrowed it down to one of these guys ...
- LG Pro Series headers ... $1500 ish.
- Kooks 1 7/8" Headers ... $1300 ish.
- LG Street Series Headers... $1000 ish.
The plan was to go with the headers w/ no cats, into dual QTP electric cutouts, then into the stock cat-back. This way I could open the cutouts for racing, and close them for normal driving. I was tossing around the idea of getting the high-flow cats ($300), but I feel they may be a pretty large restriction ... any opinions on this setup??

I'd say KOOKS or LG pro's.
Nothing else
