Default Best long tubes?

I know that this is a loaded question but,
which longtubes are best for fit/power/longevity?

That's easy - Kooks. ARH has top notch quality like the Kooks, but the Kooks are easier to tune due to where the o2 sensors are placed. The Kooks headers are a little shorter than most LT but they are not mid-length. This puts them in a very unique situation. Plus the material quality is top notch and fitment is perfect.

I ordered my Kooks recently but Brenspeed told me they're on backorder. DANG!

The bad side to the Kooks, like ARH, is the price. But you get what you pay for.

Kooks. That's what I would get if I ever get LT's.

I have MAC LTs, no problems at all. Fairly easy install, sound great, obvious power increase.

If you want to spend twice as much, go buy some Kooks and get maybe 3-5 more HP.
