I bought my FLP's before some others were available. If I was buying today I would buy the Kooks.

Love my Ceramic coated pacesetters and TSP catted Y pipe (Magnaflow high flow cats). Got them both from TSP (www.texasspeedperformance.com) for 700 bucks and recieved them in 2 days. If money were no object I probably would have gone with the Kooks for looks and durability rep. If it were my Vette i'd go Kooks. Tell your budy to verify for header banging floorbords on Vettes (Camaros are notorios for this s--t after Header install. If so, Prothane poly motor mounts are the cure. Best to put the mounts in before the headers in most cases.

LG's have been proven to make the most power. How much more over the next? Well money is no object so who cares. Get the LG cat-less system.
