Re: best headers for lt1?

better in what way?

are long tubes better than 94/95 SLP midlengths?

for performance, the LT's are a BIT better


are longtubes better than 94/95 SLP midlengths for groundclearance?

HELL NO

are longtubes better than 94/95 SLP mids for plug access?

that's debateable

its all a tradeoff, i chose the 94/95 slp midlengths (pretty decent plug access)

I have about 4000 miles on my slp mid's on a 95 single cat car. I like them, no problems since install. I would get the ceramic coating, I wasn't sure about it but nothing has been burned up and it still looks good.

Kooks are expensive, but these are the best headers I've ever had.
Clearance is good, the mounting flange is thick, and plug access is awesome.

Those Kooks are well worth the money just in build quality. CANTONRACER bought a set of the stepped headers and when he brought them over to the house I about had a fit - extremely nice build. Those are badass and when I need new headers that's the route i'm going.
