Default 03 Z06 what headers and where to find

OKay I have a2003 Z06 I am int he market for some long tube headers and exhaust pipe, I already have the computer programmed to delete the rear )2 Sensors and AIR System so I think I will go off road headers with no cats, unless you all say other wise. I am not looking to drop 2 geand but dont want crap. What long tubes should I get and where can I find them...

By the way I plan on getting a cam later on and already have B&B exhaust, Intake, Throttle Body, Plug Wires, and 3:90 Gears....

It wont hurt you much if any to run cats they just cost alot more.If you want the best go with LG Pro Long Tubes or American Racing Headers.

I went Kooks and their 3inch piping and crossover, with Cat delete. Happy as could be with this set-up, very nice and performs well. I have a n/a tq curve that is to die for, and partly due to the kooks.

I've installed 10 sets of Melrose Motorsports headers with great results. Don't count them out.

Melrose = geat quality and performance. Only downside is they are amde from carbon steel then coated inside and out, they may rust if the caoting is compromised, but I am still happy after 3.5 years.

With the Melrose headers, Ls6 intake, Dr's and a Blackwing I managed a frekish 12.20@115 with my 99FRC. This made me a believer of the uderdogs in the header wars...
