LT Headers - yours and why?

[Redfuzzbutt]

I can't leave well enough alone and want to go with some LTH to compliment the performance aspect of my car, so I'd like to get the opinions of those who have made this decision and find out why they went that route.

Not intending this to be a debate thread or "bash the other brands", simply want to know why you chose to go with your specific brand and style.

ARH because of quality and fitment over many years on different vehicles. I wanted the extra top end power with the 18 manifold and tune. Knowing what I know now, I will probably pass on headers this next round to avoid any emissions headaches with getting O2 sensors ready but I may end up going with them at a later point as long as I can go back to a stock tune.

Stainless power from lethal- great reviews, spot on fitment and the price was under $800 shipped was selling point for me. Not sure on prices now as of the whole converter BS. Mine are catless

Texas speed because the shop had them, one of the items I paid to have installed. Wanted to open the exhaust some for the blower.

+1 for ARH here. S550's are pretty picky with header fitment and I personally felt like the higher price for ARH over others was worth not having to worry about fitment issues.

I wanted to get headers because of my supercharger. I went with Stainless Power. After a bit of researching, I thought they would be the best bang for my buck. Turned out fitment was perfect and I love the sound of them paired with my Roush axle-backs.

Decided to go with kooks uncatted for my FI setup. Expensive, difficult install, 02 emissions issues, changed exhaust three times afterwards attempting to find correct tone and volume. So Hell yes id do it again.

I grabbed ARH catted headers with their x-pipe from LMR for $1095 when they were closing them out. Couldn't pass up that deal. It was between ARH and Kooks because doing headers on jackstands sucks and I wanted it to work the first time. They fit perfect.

Went with Stainless Power catless headers to pair with my Roush cat back because: loud. And damn is it loud. It can be tame if you’re cruising though. Price was ~800$ and I am very much pleased with intended function. No fitment or performance issues. Had mine put on at roughly 10k miles and am 13k now.

Went ARH for guaranteed quality and fitment. Power well worth it when pairing with e85 and tune. Only hesitation to do it again is all the new restrictions. Next go around may just do CARB legal boost off the lot and keep oem headers.

2M fab 1 7/8" because I'm frugal, I can't see them, and for fitment issues (didn't have any) I can go to Lowe's and drill or sand it should there be any issues. In the end, they're just metal tubes that make the same power as the other metal tubes. Nobody here is going to SEMA and putting mirrors underneath their car or eating bluefin tuna off it.

ARH catted headers, ceramic coated inside and out paired with a Magnaflow Competition cat back.

Kooks 1 7/8". Proven perfection.

Ultimate headers for the 321 stainless steel with nice welding made in USA.

Aside from the cat back system, why the ARH and ceramic on inside and out?
