i wanna get new headers, help me out i want to get rid of my pacesetter headers (i dont want the emission tubes) and i am trying to find a good deal on some really good headers. i was looking at qtp race style headers. i think it said like 775 for it all. i have been searching on this and have a hard time finding my answers so this is why i decided to post. is there any other header that i can get that performs and holds up great that i can get a good price on? let me know where i can get them if so. thanks

I personally love my Kooks headers, but I think you'll find more people on here that are really hung up on QTPs, and for good reason. Both companies make excellent products. Both are of a similar design, and both will put down great numbers. Get whichever one is cheaper, and I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. The clearance on my setup is great...no problems with the oil drain plug or filter, I have never scraped them, and I didn't have to remove/loosen anything other than the stock manifolds to get them in.
With your setup, stay with the 1.75" primaries. Get the 1.875" primaries if you have goals of bigger cubes down the road.

sometimes gold sometimes blue...kinda oily color i guess at times...but do get a bit of gold.
i went with QTP but thats just because ive heard there welds are better...and slightly lighter...and i think they are said to be a LITTLE bit longer then Kooks but tuck up the same none the less.
go Kooks if you wanna save some cash.

I opted for the QTP's since the Y-Pipe is better. I have had mine for 6 months and no rust. I also got the race headers and they fit perfect. My QTP's do not have the goldish tint. They have a brown tint like the stock Y-Pipe did. I can drop the transmission with removing the QTP Y-Pipe. Real nice for the A4 guys.
