Default best headers to buy, least problems?

Who makes the best headers? I have a '02 Z-28, minor engine mods w/ intake and TB. I have heard of clearance issues w/ SLP and them being a pain in the *** to install. I heard of one or two things claimed wrong w/ Pacesetters from a post I once read but a lot of people have those and like them.

I know my best friend has a set of hooker LT's and has had zero issues with them at all. They were installed about 4 years ago and they have no problem with clearence or anything like that.

Jet hot has good quality - basically hookers taken to the extreme and a 3 year re - coat warrenty (good for one time). if you want to go insane - QTP or KOOKs which are top of the line, and most expensive.

Pacesetters! Great price and great quality. I recommend gettting them coated cuz they'll last longer and they just look great under the hood when they're coated. No fitment issues and they tuck up nice and tight so you don't have to worry about them scraping all the time like you do with SLP's! yuk! I've accidently hit speedbumps too fast and never ever scraped.

What's your budget? Cheap headers that fit great = Coated Pacesetters. Expensive headers that fit great = Kooks.
