I just was going through this whole thing also...
You need to talk to Mark at LFP. I'm not going to post my findings because of vender bashing.
If you want I can send you what I have found out though E-mail.
It's worth a look at.

Not an Expert on the Dynatechs but heres what I do know about the Kooks.
The were designed during four months of testing here at JDM and then are produced at KOOKS. They were designed directly for the Lightning therfore one of the easier installs when done in a shop with an able mechanic. They are 304 stainless steel so they dont turn as dark as most stainless steel headers do. The headers come in 1 5/8" to 2 1/2" collector also can be ordered in Step header version for 1 5/8" to 1 3/4" then to 3" collectors. Usually gains of 30 HP are seen through the midrange with hiflow cats and midpipes as well as a catback. The torque increase is also approx 40 Ft/Lbs through the midrange. They are definatley recommended for vehicles running high boost applications or aftermarket superchargers ( Kenne Bell, Magnum Powers, Works, etc...) They also give an aggressive high quality sound to the truck. For ordering or further information you can contact JDM @ 732-780-0770. We offer these headers with a full exhaust system using Magnaflow components.
Hope this helps...

Also, are there any other LTs out there for our trucks other than these two brands?

Were these gains seen on a stock truck or modded? If modded, how much? Could you post some dyno sheets? I thought the LTs were on the pricey side, but if I can see 30 rwhp/40 ft lbs. of torque increase, then they might be worth it!

Tallimeca...ya, I'm just not sure how loud it will be...I would like to get the motor in, get set up like this, then maybe swap in the spring for the desired sound.
