headers alright i have been reading, reading, and reading..WHAT type of headers should i get. my buddy keeps saying buy QTP or Kooks. but then i read on here that Pace setters are good. but then i read that Qtp and Kooks are tuned? what the hell is tuned in headers mean? i understand that kooks and QTP will not corrode as fast as pacesetters would. But would i still get the same power gains using a generic brand.

KOOKS and QTP will not corrode (stainless). Pacesetters can eventually rust through if you live in a rust inducing environment.
Kooks and QTP's Velocity spike collectors outperform all other headers hands down.

yes you should get about the same they may provide minimal gains over pacesetters, nothing to lose sleep over. but tuned headers that is kinda retarded sounding since you have to get a tune after you install them anyways if you want to gain there full power, but just go with pacesetter coated headers thats what i am going with and my friend on here has and he is satisfied with them. only thing is the Y pipe sucks, so QTP has the Y pipe that would be best for pacesetters since it has the flowmaster merger on it.

If you have the $$$ QTP/Kooks. Super quality, easy install, no modifying the crossmember and such, won' t rust, look sweet...
The y-pipe can be a pain, but a little patience will fix ya' up nice ;D
QTP baby...

Header design is very important and on a highly tuned motor can make a big difference.
However a mildly modified bolt motor will see very little performance difference between them.
If you want to spend to money go for it, but most likely you'd see the exact same gains with the Pacesetters or Hookers.
