Kooks and QTP are both good. SLP's hang real low-bad clearance. If you plan on purchasing SLP's, don't plan on lowering your car.

"Best" is too vague. Depends on what you want in a header. Do you want stainless headers or coated? If stainless is for you, QTP & Kooks are your best choices. If ceramic coated is good enough because you don't want to pay for stainless, look at Pacesetters, Edelbrocks, Hookers......do some searching around this section. There's a new "which headers" thread every 12 hours. Once you figure out which headers you want, check out our sponsors for a good deal on whatever you decide!

Amen.

I feel that QTP is probbly the best if your willing to shell out.
Bang for buck it's pacesetters.

This does not mean any of the other headers are bad. Just my $.02.
You need to know what you want out of your headers before you ask a simple whats best.

I am getting ready to buy some headers and really didn't want to sacrafice quality so I was thinking QTP headers, but I realized that I can get Ceramic coated pacesetters and a true dual setup for cheaper than stainless headers and a y-pipe. so I'm pretty sure that's what I'm going with. I have heard the pacesetters are pretty much the best bang for the buck.

In case you haven't already, read the sticky at the top of this forum on mods. There's a large section on headers.
