Default Header Options

While lurking the boards as I oftenly do, I've found that most are running Kook's longtube headers. I've also found some running Pacesetters and SLP headers. Are there any other options out there?

I know SLP's headers had clearence issues, but the new design is supposed to solve that.

Also, I'm not sure that I want longtube headers on my car. I hardly ever run the car above 3K rpms, so longtubes may be as useful for me as a set of mid-length (tuned length). What my options there?

And before it is said, I've been using the search button.

Thanks in advance.

more options are American Racing headers, and QTP headers. lately american racing headers have been the popular choice as they have great fitment and theyre Y-pipe kicks ***.

i have jethot coated (same as hooker) and i'm very happy with ground clearance and they still look brand new! i dont know the diff if stainless steel is better. i've seen TPIS which look great but cost more. $$$$. plenty of people on the board seem happy with coated pacesetters but i've never seen them. (lowest cost option). just my 2 cents

Run whatever your budjet permits. I have had pacesetter in that past which was a good header for the money, and I currently run kooks, so go for what'cha like. Brian

Well I got tha redesigned SLP LTs on my ride and tha clearence issues with them are no more. Even tha installation wasn't a pain in tha *** either. I like them alot. I understand SLP is still sellin tha first headers they made. The new headers make more power in mid to upper rpm range while tha original makes power in tha low to mid range. It depends on what application to want to have.

Your budget will determine which headers are right for you.
