It kind of depends on your buget. What are price range are you looking to be in. Pacesetter is a pretty good header as most guys well tell you on the forum and are pretty cheap.

Check out some of the sponsers on the right side of the page, pretty much all the LTs will produce about the same power gain. If you go with pacesetters make sure you get the coaded or you will be rusting pretty quick. Or if you decided to go with any other brands stainless steel would be good.

Stainless is forever. Coating lasts a long time, but eventually goes south after a while. This usually only happens on the part of the header under the car, which isnt seen much at all. I have coated pacesetters on my car and couldnt be happier.

If you dont want stainless, there is NO reason not to get pacesetters. If you want stainless, the QTP's with the HVMC are sweet. The HVMC (high velocity merge collector) works very well and they are POLISHED

Check out the sponsers on the right. I think i saw them on thunder racing or tsp or speed inc. or somewhere listed for the new sale price too!

Pacesetters are going to run you about 370$ while the QTP's will set you back about 750$ i think. You will also need a new y-pipe or go with a true dual system. Thats a whole other ball of wax.
