Default Which headers?

I've shopped around and price for headers and y-pipe are about the same. I'm curious which are better quality, fitment.

Are you looking for a stepped header? If so Kooks is the way as well. I have FLP's, but looks like you are dead set on one or the other. get your checkbook ready!$$$$

I love how you only made a poll for Kooks and QTP yet alot of people are voting for other brands

I vote Kooks. They just have a great reputation for quality and fitment.

qtp is a great header, the y-pipe doesn't have much clearance on a lowered car.

Kooks without any questions. I have used Macs and hooker before and this time I went with kooks. I will never go back to anything else, even if I have to pay 3 times as much for them then others, would do it. The fitment is unbelievable and the quality is second to none. I only had to lift the driver’s side engine about 6 inches to get them in and the passenger side went right in without any problems, both going from the bottom of course. Go wit kooks and you won’t regret it, if not, you will hate yourself for trying to save a few bucks, and I know I did!!

Out of the 2, I would say Kooks. But, I have Pacesetters and love 'em.

Well right now the motor is pretty much stock. Will stepped header be fine for a stock motor if I'm planing for more cubes later? Or will it just be a waste of money?


As far as what headers vote for I don't if it's Hookers, SLP, Pacesetter, just as long as they tell me why. I just had a baby and the thought of selling her has crossed my mind a few times but everytime I drive it (which is very limited lately) i change my mind. So I want to get something for it so we can bond again!!!

Kooks if it is lowered, otherwise it doesn't really make a difference.
