Probably the stainless Edelbrock Victor headers and matching stainless ORY.

Kooks and ARH will not come in at 900 or less. QTP headers have alot of bad feedback lately.

I can get ceramic Hookers for $400 locally, not sure what a catted y would cost. Maybe find a cheap used y and install cats?

Many do. I believe the pacesetter will work. If you go to the site it list what y will work if I remember correctly.

you really dont need the 1 7/8" unless you are heads and cam or bigger cubes, they are really not worth the extra on car with your mods

yes but i plan on doing those mods in the future. and as you can see with the latest dyno results from texas-speed. 1 7/8 are fine to use on stock cars

I have Hooker lts and ory, nice fit and easy install but shitty product. I had an incomplete weld on the y-pipe, and the headers are already rusting after ~3 months from the lack of coating by the collectors.

I got the LPP SS headers and ORY, they are still on sale i think for 600 hundred shipped which is the cheapest price you will find for Stainless steel. The headers are really good and the fit was perfect, but alot of people have some problems with the Y-pipe. I had to tweak the Y pipe a few times to stop leaks and banging. All in All its not a bad set up I am happy with it for the money that i spent.

If you are getting the 1 7/8 headers from TSP, they also have the y-pipe you need. They are built to work together, so no worries. If you plan to upgrade everything in the future, go ahead and get their 1 7/8 headers.

If you have questions on any other headers or prices though, shoot me over a pm and I'll help you out.
