1. American Racing Headers
2. LG
3. Kooks.
I used the ARH's on my 2006C6 coupe. Form, and fit were excellent. Try doing a search on the fourm for headers, I am sure you will get lots of opinions. Good luck.

Yes i have heard american racing do fit the best. Your right they are the top 3. I heard lg Super pro long tuibes where best for track and someone else said kooks best for quarter mile. American racing i never heard what they are better for. I want to squeeze even 1hp more if any of these 3 will do that.

A big waste of moey.You are going to spend over 2500 dollars for 7 measly horsepower.If you arent going with heads and cam dont put on headers.Your car will not be any faster than stock.

I won't debate the horsepower gain, but 2500 bucks really? You can buy a nice set for 1200, throw in a tune and you are at maybe 1600. People pay 1200 for axle back exhaust just to make noise for heaven's sake.

I use ARH 1.875 with no issues, excellent quality. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Kook or LG either.

I've had the Kooks in my TT SRT8 300, they where low!!my Z06 has the ARH and I go over the same speed bumps tat my 300 scraped on with no issues, and my Z06 is 3.5 "s off the ground at the side skirts and Front Splitter, so, I have to go with ARH just for that, and I know that my Z has lees clearance as they both sat!!

Mine were only $1700 installed (ARH). That included the X-pipe and hi-flo cats. It was the tourque under the curve I felt the most. AND it added a great sound with the muffler mod. I assume you haven't tried headers on your Z and just offering up an uninformed opinion??

To get the most out of the headers you need a tune and then you will pull the "stock car pretty easy"
