QTPs, the last (and best) headers you'll ever need to buy. www.quicktimeperformance.com

get pacesetter's if you are going the cheap-end...they are better than both of those and cost less...just my opinion

I was under the impression that Kooks had the market cornered.

Maybe among Corvettes but I still think the QTPs are the header of choice right now...their Tri Y C5 long tubes look awesome too.

NO, QTPs are the best!
Truth is they're both great stainless header systems...I just prefer the better Y pipe merge of the QTPs and also the ease of buying headers, better flowing Y pipe (or even a Y pipe with cut outs already installed on it! ) and electric cut out all in one place.

I love the Kooks but never seen the Qtps. Both are Stainless Steel so it doesn't matter. Just buy the cheaper of the two.
