American Racing 1 7/8 back to the axleback w/cats & 3''x pipe fit great on my car and made good HP.

We have a stainless header as well if you're looking for a different option. We now have connection pipes to connect to the factory exhaust as well as a complete header, x-pipe, muffler kit. It would save you some money and still have great performance it fitment. If you have questions let us know!

It's early and I haven't had any coffee yet, but I believe the only headers that are going to be able to get carb approved in Ca, are going to be the shorty ones that keep the cats in their factory position. Bob

I would say go with LG if you dont mind paying the extra $$$$. I have kooks headers and love them... great price and great performance.

I would also look into these

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113481

cant beat that price any where! $900 for a complete system (headers+catback) thats just crazy! I have their catback and the quality is great. not sure about their headers though, but from reading over the camaro5 it seems like a good one.

if it was me, I would either go with LG or the XSP!

FYI, there was another thread on there about a couple guys having to dent their primaries to clear the steering shaft. Not sure if they are all like that or what, but it's something to look out for.

oh thanks, didnt see that one I guess you get what you pay for I only have their catback, and I think the quality and fitment was great! in that case go with LG, kooks, ARH... those are the only three i would consider.
