Pacesetter is best bang for buck as far as I know.

QTP is very good, but only if you're willing to pony up for it...

What's your budget? Under $500, it's hard to beat Pacesetters. If you want the best go with either Kooks or American Racing.

I like ARH's set up with cats. I seriously would recommend you save up and get the stainless set up with cats if you plan to keep the car and want it to look good. If not, Then look at Edelbrocks' or Hookers/Jet hots using the Hooker Y.

Kooks, QTP, or American Racing are all great high quality headers. Apparently a lot of people have fitment issues with QTP, though. I'm personally getting Kooks next month.

Kooks or ARH. You can't go wrong with either choice. I opted for the ARH with catted Y-pipe.

ARH or Kooks. Stay away from QTP

KOOKS!!! If your N/A on stock cubes go 1 3/4'' primaries...their stainless steel and fit very well. Real easy to install... Plus the new Kooks header come with extra 02 bungs for like widebands or dyno hookups for air/fuel and the collectors are "enhanced". pretty expensive though. I paid just over $800.00 for mine.

I only went with QTP because I did mine the poor guy who wants stainless LT's way. If I had the money, I would have went with ARH or Kooks stainless with their catted stainless Y, JMHO. QTP doesn't offer a stainless catted Y and they've have fitment issues with the aluminized one that's made for them. I'd also consider the Hooker stainless stuff if they offer a matching catted Y.

I have the ARH with the catted Y and I love it. It went in smooth as anything with just myself installing them. The fit and build were awsome

Kook's or ARH.....I have Kook's 1 7/8 LT's and ORY , I picked up a few HP/TQ from my old Hooker setup. They are a bit expensive but well worth the investment IMO.

Love my Kooks!!
I would get them again, or the ARH setup.


If on a budget....Pacesetters.
