I'm just wondering what everyone's opinion out there is. What is the best set of headers for an LS1 motor? I'd like to have everyone's input because that is definitely a mod that is coming up soon!

 

Shorties are a waste IMO. Mids and Long tubes have similar gains. If you have emissions I recommend MACs.

 

We have emissions here... but they only hook us up to the computer now... they don't even worry about the sniffer anymore... so NO worries there

 

If you're looking for headers with good ground clearance, then avoid the SLP's. If you want a nice set of headers with interchangeable Y-pipes (catted/ORY) then go with the FLP setup. If you want a cheap set of coated headers that still flow nice, then a set of Flowtech's or Pacesetter's. Want a nice set of stainless steel headers? Then go with QTP or Kooks

You can always go with Jet-Hot or Hooker's as well, they're nearly identical. The Jet-Hot's seem to be designed slightly better but you can find pretty much all the information you'd ever need for headers if you do a search

 

I believe Jet Hots have emissions hookups while the Hookers don't. Not totally certain though.
