All depends on what u wanna spend? If u dont care about the money and want the best go with QTP.. There stainless with HVMC u cannt go wrong.

THere just 1 3/4 LT. Have to find a good exhaust company near u to do it, or just buy QTP y/pipe and play with it till it fits nice.

Thats not the y/pipe thats part of the catback setup. When u buys headers u aslo have to get a ypipe to hook up to the new lt stock will not work.
Go to the QTP web site there a sponser on the right they will have pics of there headers along with there ypipes.

Kooks with a Kooks y-pipe. Best Y-pipe on the market. Great Customer Service.

I have heard the most positive responses with Kooks, but both Kooks and QTP are top notch Stainless headers. Just talking to a bunch of people and having installed them on my friend's cars the Kooks slide in easier and fit slightly better than the QTP's. The HVMC is nice though...

Kooks and QTP (stainless) seem to be top notch. Pacesetters (coated) sound like an awesome deal. I would go stainless if I could swing it.

Kooks hands down. I have a set on my camaro and my roomate went from hookers to Kooks on his camaro.

My Y-pipe is a custome one from Louis at LG.

Personally I would recommend American Racing Headers

Their fit and finish is amazing and their customer service cannot be beat.
Honestly, you really get what you pay for in the flooded aftermarket with these cars. There are a lot of choices out there, if you want one of the best heraders available for your car then you definitly need to check out ARH

I just got a set of American Racing Headers for my '02 WS6 w/ no fittings in 1 7/8" (plan on a D1SC set-up) and had them fab up some nice TD's for me...the headers are amazing and the work they did with the TD's is nothing but beautiful, I couldn't be happier.

You can see some pics and more details of the headers HERE and my TD set-up in this thread HERE
