Default Which long tube headers?

For the price and quality what would be the best option im not looking for anything stainless steel or anything just a decent product there is so many options and they all do about the same but i dont know what to decide on.

Do a search, but it seems like what youre looking for is the pacesetters. For a budget header its the way to go

From what i have read from a performance aspect all LTs are about the same when it comes to dyno numbers . Some might dyno a few hp over but from cheap to the expensive they are close enough to where spending twice as much or more can be spent in other areas of upgrades ,
That being said for the price and quality a new set of Pacesetters would probabally be the best bang for the buck .
Kooks in my opinion is the best quality but you may not like the price . Macs are mid length are cheap but they put out a decent amount of power for the price .

QTP HVMC will gain the most power of all the headers out there and they are stainelss steel which will out last the car.

I'm going Kooks when I get home from Iraq. What's the point of buying headers only to have them rust away in a few years?

Of course, this is under the assumption that your car is a life-timer. In which case, you WANT stainless.
