anyone?
I have the QTP's........very happy with them.........pleased with the fit and finish..........as far as technical data: http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/Headers/
Love my Kooks.
Would get them again.
i have the dynatech's and im happy with them.
kooks, id get them again
Cant go wrong with any of them really. I have Kooks and love them, great header. All those you listed are great headers.
I think I'm down to American Racing and Kooks. I think I may be leaning American Racing but looking forward to more comments on here
You cant go wrong with the either. Kooks will probably get the higher vote if this was more looked at. But, ARH are awesome headers. My vote still goes to Kooks.
kooks steped 1 7/8 to 1 3/4 all the way hell have then make u a 4-2-1 collector while ur at it
I say ARH (not having ever seek Kooks in person). I have ARH and they fit perfectly, including the catted Y pipe, first time no modifications or issues. Very nice stainless steel, look new after over a year on the car.
This is why I said Kooks. I have never seen ARH :) I would not hesitate to put either LT's on my TA.Quote:

LPP does not respond to e-mails has varied quality for fitmant, etc. issues and has virtually diappeared when it comes to customer service. I was all about the LPP's until I got deaper into research. Kooks or ARH still leaning towards ARH unless someone can steer me to Kooks.
So, you bought the LPPs anyway? I don't think you will be disappointed with the fitment.
Yes, I'm going to give it a try. I really hope they work out well. If not there will be a set for sale and I'll go ARH. I'm trying to do a quality 1 time build but it's expensive. I'm doing Strano/Koni 4/4's and misc. other parts there, already done my intake with MTI, PP TB, Free Mods, ASP Underdrive pulley, Smooth Bellows, free mods and a Pro 5.0 short throw and I'm going to do the stainless LPP's and a mufflex exhaust system, having 4.10's put in this week and then a tune. Shooting for 350rwhp with this and then will decide if anything else needs to be done. I may even do a mild cam down the road which will get into alot more.
Good luck. I have a mufflex "style" exhuast. Its custom and comes very close to some certain componets. Nice exhuast no doubt. The Mufflex flows great. What muffler you going with? Have fun.
Just a tip.....try not to have a dyno number as a goal. :)Quote:

Mr. Lous very true. I'm actually going with the 4.10's for the feel and fun of the car oppposed to dyno number results. I think of it this way; A Pro 5.0 allows you to feel the car in your hand and the 4.10's allow you to feel it in your seat. Most everything else is sound, breathability, etc.
For the other question I'm looking at the Mufflex with Spintech.
I think you'll be happy with the LPPs. They will sound great with any muffler you decide on.
Its a good flowing system and will sound good. Like I said, I have a 4" mufflex style exhuast with a Spintech. Great setup, Sounds great.Quote:

My vote goes Kooks also, I love mine, and have not had one problem with them in the 2 years they have been on, and they still look great....
just checked kook's booth at the nmca meet at maple grove this afternoon. very nice looking product. are most of you w/ kooks just running headers or the whole f-body kit w/ the 4 o2 bungs free flow cats w/y-pipe? without getting into y-pipe vs. true duals, that is a very high quality setup.:drivin:
i run kooks 1 7/8 headers, to a QTP Off Road Y-pipe (no cats) with dual electric cutouts and no rear O2 sensors, mated to the stock catback.... loud when you want, quiet when your on them long road trips.... Personally i wouldnt do it any other way....Quote:
