It is an excellent brand but you are paying for name also. I got stainless power 1 7/8 headers with hf cats $700 shipped brand new from vendor on here.

ARH it top notch. However, in all likelihood the long system is not what you need. I assume you are trying to bolt up to your factory or an aftermarket cat back?

They all perform the same except tri y header design; performance is a little different I think.

Quoted for truth, and if there IS a difference, it's extremely marginal.

However, that being said. I paid $1200 for my Kooks LT Headers w/ high flow cats and they were ceramic coated as well. Could NOT be happier with these bad boys.


So without going all crazy over headers and choosing the right ones blah blah.

This is the most unbiased opinion you're going to get here.

If you're looking for reliability and that peace of mind for several years on out. Then get Kooks or American Racing Headers.

If you're looking for best bang for buck... you know, getting great gains without breaking the bank. Then Doug Thorley, Stainless Works, TSP etc have all had great reviews themselves on this website for nearly half the price.

So it's completely up to you.
Save $$$ or peace of mind?

the ARH long system is the way to go. you will get a little more power with them because the primaries are longer. You are also paying for the quality.
