Default which headers

Hey y'all i'm gonna be purchasing a new set of headers in the near future and i was wondering what kind everyone recommends. stainless steel or ceramic coated. i'm planning on keeping my car emmissions legal. i want kooks but i dont know if ceramic coated pacesetters will be just as good. also what kind of catted y-pipe does everyone like?

kooks, QTP are very nice quality products but very pricey. i had the chance to go and get kooks but i just opted to go with pacesetters and used the extra money towards other mods.

if you are staying emissions legal you know you cant have long tubes right? shorty's are the only emission legal "headers" out there. which in my opinion i would spend money elsewhere instead of getting shorty's.

+1 ^

staying completely emissions legal probably isnt your concern. my pacesetters havent brought me a problem yet and still look pretty good with no rust. for a catted y you could check out the tsp catted-y ive heard great things about them since they are adjustable.

ARH is the best header imo but they are pricey. I would try LPP if i did it again. They are stainless price is good.
