Default Headers? What to choose?

I am going to get headers for my C6 Z06 that already has the B&B Bullet exhaust system. Who's headers are going to sound the best and pick up the most power? Also, has anyone experienced the Ebay TopSpeed headers? Thanks!

What other future mods are you planning?

Bigger is better IMO

Maybe a H/C package down the road, but nothing for a while. Only mods to date are the B&B Exhaust and LG CAI

I'm very happy with my Swain Tech coated ARH headers.

I know the EBay headers are much less in price, is it defiantly worth $1100 more for The others?

You are right because it takes that mechanical sound away due to the tri-y. It is awesome I love them.

On my last three Vettes, I've had two sets of KOOKS and a set of LG Pros.

Can't go wrong with either, and the people who own American Racing headers seem to like those as well.

Your axle back will effect the sound more than the brand of headers you choose. I have Melrose, but would not turn down any known brand.

I couldn't justify spending $1500 price on bent metal... I went with OBX after PMing some of the members here who had them. They looked good when I opened the box.
