Although I can't have long tube headers here in CA, I hear that LGs and Kooks are preferred by many C5 owners. Either way, they sure aren't cheap!

I have kooks headers on mine with corsa catback. Car sounds sick. I also have a big cam so the car just sounds wicked. Kooks is one of the best along with the corsa cat back!

I''d go with either kooks, or dynatech headers. I have the dynatechs and they sound pretty good with borla stingers

Go with 1 7/8 only if you have serious mods (more dispacement than stock, or new heads. Otherwise stick with 1 3/4 Deleting the cats on anything close to a stock engine reduce HP, too. Unless you have done something to push RWHP to 400+, leave the cats on, they help.
