I like the Ar headers on my C5. But if I could do it again, I probably would of spent the extra coin on the LG pro's. Why? the Lg's are supposed to make more torque lower in the RPM band but suffer a little on top compared to AR. After looking at my dyno sheet it would be nice to have a little more torque in the bottom to get her moving quicker.

I got ARH LT's, the ypipe and collector design is excellent, but they still bang. I dont know if its one of the primaries hitting the kmember on the driver side or the ypipe but it definitely bangs around when taking off from a stop. So dont expect them to be perfect because they are way more expensive.

I voted for Kooks. I am putting Pacesetters on my car, but if money weren't an issue I would go with Kooks. Keep in mind though, that I was doing all the research for MY CAR, which is an LT1. Honestly haven't paid attention to what works the best for the LS1.

If you don't plan on ever going bigger cubes then I'd go with the Kooks. Yep I'm still on that bandwagon lol. If you do plan on going bigger than the 346 then the tsp headers are a great deal. I'd just recommend a custom Y.

There have been quite a few people in the LS1 external section complaining about the QTP header collectors not being welded properly and leaking.

I use kooks. but depending on cash flow Pacesetters are the best bang for the buck.
