Default Long Tube Header Suggestions

I'm looking to buy some long tube headers for my 2001 Z28. Looking on Ebay I have found some inexpensive SS LT headers. Here's the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99...spagenameZWDVW

If I go with these, will I wind up regretting it?? What are the big differences between headers. I've seen the ceramic coated, SS, etc. I know that diameter is important and tube wall thickness is critical for good flow and longevity.. Any ideas, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Pacesetter Longtubes I think are great for the price. If money is no object Kooks seems to be one of the front runners.

i agree pacesetters are the best bang for the buck. give us a call if you decide youd like a nice ceramic coated set, we typically have them in stock

Those headers must have short primarys because the say they are only good for 15HP. It's hard to tell in just a picture. I just got a pair of slightly used QTP's off a wreck and they look really nice.

i'll have to agree, pace setters are a good inexpensive brand but kooks have to be the best headers out there for a mild application.

ARH and QTP's are on par with Kooks. Can't go wrong with any of them. I just picked up some QTP's Edelbrock makes a real nice stepped header now too.

actually there's quite a few people running the ebay stainless headers on here and they've performed quite nicely for them and are no harder to install compared to pacesetters. Not a bad price for stainless when compared to the $700+ for kooks, SW, or QTP's.

I run pacesetters, but was very close to getting some XS ones.
