As much as I hate to say it, but... pictures, descriptions, SOMETHING would probably be a bit more useful on that site than a simple "add to cart" button.

EDIT: See? now that comment below? Definitely something to add

I just installed the above listed headers today. Stainless steel for at a coated header price. No cutting or grinding necessary. Used factory exhaust bolts and wires. A complete direct bolt in.

i just uninstalled some hooker headers from someone's car to install on mine(he was going back to stock to make it quieter for his dd) and they fit really well. all it took to get them out was unbolting the oil plug thingy and they both dropped right out. quality looks good. installing them on my car soon.

Pacesetters fit good. I just installed some on my friends car last night. I own some LPPs and I love them. No fitment issues at all...or any issues for that matter.

American Racing Headers. Primo stainless set. Comes with a really nice Y too. The merge is sex, and yeah the whole stainless part. Pricey though....

Myself, I'll probably get some ceramic coated pacesetters. Just don't have the budget for a stainless set. I have some suspension gremlins to tackle before I worry about stainless shizzle.

i had pacesetters and hookers. both are good headers. i think the pacesetters fit just a bit better than my hookers did. but you will be happy with either one.
