You can use the Texas speed Y pipe with the Jet hot headers.

I voted for pacesetters, went in easy. Didnt have to notch the K memeber like my buddy who bought QTPs. But my next header is probably gonna be kooks stepped headers.

i have QTPs and have had great results with them. no rubbing or tapping anything. i know for a fact that kooks and ARH are both great peices but too me are just a lil overpriced. as for the pacesetters, my local shop has great results with them as well. for the price they cant be beat. only downside is they rust after time.

im happy with my pacesetters!! i actually had the money to get the pricey headers like kooks, and QTP but i would rather save a few hundred bucks. i could give **** if it rusts..

for the price of the kooks, QTP i was able to get my slp lid, magnaflow catback and pacesetter longtube headers.

Yeah, so I've heard. I, myself, would only go that direction as a last resort. I'd have to do something about the fact that their Y-pipe isn't coated. I suppose its trivial, but I'd like my exhaust to match. Not to mention, I live in Iowa. Aluminized Exhaust, without any coating, wouldn't last more than a few years. I'm not putting down Texas Speed's Exhaust, I'm sure its very high quality. Simply, if I'm going to spend the money, I need it to last.

Either Kooks or ARH would be first choice, both are investment quality pieces.
With budget a driving concern, TSP 1 7/8 units - hands down.

I'll vouch for the quality of their product. Can't go wrong with Kooks either, my buddy has them on his TA and they're awesome too.

I have the QTP's and have not had any issues with them. I have no regrets so I would say that you have some good choice.

They recently redesigned their headers and that is currently what is shipping. I have not seen any negative posts in regards to fitment/clearances with the new design. By all appearances they appear to be quality headers, and the threads started seem positive.
