Need help on what kind of headers are best...
Need help on what kind of LT headers are best... I'm a new comer to the ls1 v8 stuff. I have a 2000 ram air and I want to get LT headers and more... Just want to know yall opinion on what kind of headers to get or stay away from. Or what would be a good start. Not looking for a 9 sec car but close, want to kill s/c cobras. Thinking about going ture dual. Web sites will help too. Thanks

QTP, Kooks, stay away from SLP!! Get good heads/cam and some suspension mods with some drag radials. Is this a auto or m6? There is no "best" header, the gains determine the header/y pipe/catback combo, and that is purely preference.

Like all these guys said, pick a long tube but brand and price will dictate quality more than performance. SLP is the only inconsistency with that statement. And to hang with S/C cobras these days a well built/tuned H/C setup is necessary. 
Those damn things hit 400+ hp with boltons.

If you want the best of the best, and are willing to pay, then Kooks, or QTP LT's are the way to go.--------->see sponsors list
Pacesetters,hookers,jet hot, flowtech, all have fitment issues somewhere. Whether that be hitting the k-member, or hittiing the floor pan.
Kooks, and QTP are known for quality and excellent fitment. I went with QTP's, though I have yet to install them
. And they are stainless steel.

i went with QTP also. very easy to put in. no clearence issues at all. fyi, you will have to take off the oil filter and drain plug to get the drivers side to go in. other than that, they are a piece of cake to install.
