Default Quick Time Performance or Borla Headers

I am looking to get headers for my 02 C5. what brand headers are best (sound, power, etc.)? I was going to purchase Borla Headers but have an opportunity to get some used Quick Time Performance Headers for cheap. But i don't just wanna know between those 2. Shoot me some other suggestions as well and tell me why. Thanks

Havent seen the borla's but QTP makes one of the best SS header. If there in good shape pickem up and use the rest of your money for more mods. Are you keeping your emmissions? Also long tubes are prety much the same power wise. There will be little differances but nothing major.

Sure you have.......They're just sold under the name LG Motorsports.
LG Pro's, to be precise. The Streets are made by someone else.

The LG Pro's are one of the better header systems you can get. Very long primaries. Similar to the Dynatech system. You'll get very good midrange torque, but sacrifice a little on the top end.
For better top end performance, go with a system which has a slightly shorter primary, such as American Racing or Kooks.

Those 4 above are the most respected C5/C6 header systems.

QTP uses a tri-y design. Some like it, and I've seen some who haven't. Personally, I have no experience with them so can't comment. Not very popular for the C5.

I would consider our system it's all american made from US 304 stainless and the easiest to install (ask around). I put mine on my C5 in about 2 hours. If you have any questions PM me or call the shop 631-608-1986

I never knew Borla made LG Pro headers. In that case, I wish they made a set for the F-body I remember a few months ago seeing a dyno from a guy who switched from 1 7/8" ARH headers to LG Pro's on a Vette and picked up over 30rwhp. It was a pretty crazy dyno. Whoever designed those headers did one hell of a job.
