I dont really know much about either brand. Im just wanting your guys input on which long tube is the better of the 2 for a stock Z06 ?

MasterVette

Vette Doctors American Racing Series All the way better fit better merge collector, more power, better price. All stainless steel. No better header out there.

Stainless Works make some amazing headers. They are D port like the American Racing headers, and 31" long tube like the LG headers. They are the thickest ones you can get, as well....so they are the most durable. They also are the only brand I am aware of that offer a 2" primary. They come with Random Technologies polised cats and Random Technologies X-pipe, as well.

Better fit! So you tried them all?

I purchased American Racing Headers intalled by Vette Doctors. They're very satisfactory, except during reasonably hard right turns, the engine moves just enough for one of the pipes to lean against the steering shaft. It has no effect on steering, but the vibration is very noticeable in the steering wheel. Price was good, sound is great for me (with high flow cats).

See these are the tpyes for things I want to know. Does anyone know if there are any problems with the Kooks headers or the LG headers ?

Im not too conserned with the price I just want whatever fits the best and doest affect anything ( rattles ect )

My Kooks 1 7/8 headers fit perfectly.

MasterVette

They have redone that pipe on L/s no more problems.
Yes lets here about the other headers out there for the new zo6.

Do they sound pretty good ? I still havent heard a Z06 with long tubes

DoctorV8

Mine sounds great, but it's not exactly a fair indication, since I did a cam at the same time.

The Stainless works do sound very good! However they state you have to drop the engine cradle to install them, and change out the dry sump lines with longer ones (provided). I'm not a drag racer, so the primary tube length on the American racing headers are too short for me. The Kooks do not have a merge collector. If the LGs fit better and had D shaped ports, I'd get those. Until then, no headers for me.

Sometimes it just boils down to one's preference in brands for whatever reason. We exclusively use Kook's on the C6Z06s we do. We have installed at least a dozen sets with absolutely no problems. There is plenty of clearance by the oil lines. They fit perfectly and install easily. We are very happy with the quality and performance of the Kook's.

Are they altering the ones already installed?

MasterVette

Im sure if you call they will send you a new header.

Zip Corvettes

So the steering is affected? That sounds dangerous. We use the Kooks and have never had a problem. Not to say the Stainless Works are bad, we have used there exhaust on other Corvettes and it is good.

Thanks for all the help guys. I just placed an order with one of the vendors about an hour ago. The best part was they were on special and I saved $200

DoingOK

Great, can you PM me who has the special. Thanks

Hmmm, no problem with my ARs. But I watched the guys at A&A Corvette do the install. Looks like it was some work to get them in there.

I like 'em.
