I went from SLP's to ARH and couldnt be more pleased. took 4 hours to get the slp's OUT!! and I have the ARH's in WITH y pipe in 2 1/2 hours, and this was doing it on a garage floor. Power seems better with them, I put down 340hp 350tq through 3.42 and a 10 bolt with the slps, and 340 hp 346tq through a spooled 9" with 4.10's with the ARH's. Knowing that a 9" usually "eats" 10hp/tq I think they make better power too. Not to mention with the slps I went through 02's like it was cool (4 sets in 10k) so far with the ARH's I have had NO more 02 problems.

Headers on lowered cars are always going to be more susceptible to dragging on things.

ARH Rocks. They are top notch, 2nd to none.

Here is a thread I created back when I received my full exhaust...

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...078&highlight=

And Nick was awesome to deal with. My experience was the best possible.

ARH will go a LONG way in this community.

Yes all can be reached. I have a lift so #8 is VERY easy with the headers. Just reach up from underneath and done.

Is there a setup to put on my camaro and still have it run out the central exhaust? Wanted to change out my entire exhaust and was going with ARH. Have seen a few that were custom made for TDs. Any ideas?

I went with the ARH's on my 2000 SS, been on for a year no banging, no scraping, no leaks from day one. Glad I took my time and saved my $ in order to buy them, you get what you pay for!

Who is everybody buying the ARH headers from. Directly from ARH? or through a dealer.

I got mine from MPH Motorsports, but I know Byunspeed carries them also. I'm sure some other sponsors do too --------------------->

I got mine through Race Proven in Delaware... WS6 Store would've been my other choice. Can't go wrong with either.

I've had 2 sets of headers for my truck (pacesetters and OBX), so you learn to appreciate little things when it comes to headers and y pipe. It's most definitely true you get what you pay for. Just to point out one thing I see in your picture, ARH goes so far to cut slits into the OD pipe so that the supplied (what appear to be) accuseal clamps seal as well as possble and makes removal easy. Everything looks top notch.

sure, you're just going to have to have an exhaust shop fab it up with your favorite mufflers. probably be cheaper than buying a kit anyways.
