Go to the parts for sale section and look for some used stainless headers.

If you go the home page of ls1tech.com, you will see a section called for exhaust,(EXTERIOR ENGINE). JRP, who is one of the moderators for this site, posted up some sweet information about the question you are asking. He KNOWS his stuff!! GOOD LUCK!!!

I went with Kook's. They are a little more exspensive than most but well worth it. I would do what the guy said above and search the parts for sale section and find some stainless headers.

I have Coated Pacesetters with Corsa Exhaust, I love how it sounds, very loud at WOT, but the Corsa Exhaust is kinda pricey, I also have a few friends with Trans Am's who also have Coated Pacesetters with different exhausts, one has Magnaflow which is fairly inexpensive but IMO the tips look better on TA's than on Camaro's, another with Borla with the plate taken out, another pricey system, and the last with TSP True Duals dumped at the axle, the loudes of the set-ups but also a lot of interior noise. For headers I would say the Pacesetters are the best bang for your buck though and many sponsors have deals on them all the time. I got mine from Speed Engineering
