Hi..I'm looking for suggestions on headers for my Tahoe. I prefer to hear from someone who has them or has done an install. Not looking for a big debate or drama..I just want to know what brand, part # or where to purchase.?.thank you

I have American Racing headers on my 09 6.2 Tahoe, they are longtubes and fit perfectly. Even the plug wires stay in the stock locations and no modifications of any sort were necessary. I love them

Can you confirm if your 6.2 headers are the same as 5.3 headers? I seem to remember that the stock 6.2 and 5.3 manifolds are identical.

I have Summit Racing shortie headers. I went with shorties for these reasons: 1. Clearance and fit for the headers I bought are similar to stock exhaust manifold. 2. I wanted to retain cats; which I was told can be a challenge with some longtubes. 3. In some states longubes are illegal. Shorties admittedly do not increase HP and torque as well as longtubes. But when we dynoed the engine it produced hp and torque numbers consistent with the numbers GM performance posts for this engine.
