QTP, Kooks, or ARH are the ones to consider.

If you are looking for a nice stainless header, I would go ARH or Kooks. Fitment on both is very nice and ground clearance isn't an issue on either one. We carry both brands as well as several nice options. Let us know if we can help!

For the price and quality from what I've seen your in house headers are just as nice and cheaper.

Couldn't be happier with my QTP's. The 3" y-pipe comes with a flowmaster 4" collector already welded in. May not have the best ground clearance but I have no problems at all running them...

Kooks, I had some spagetti long tubes also, Horrible ground clearance. Plus the Kooks or ARH are made from 304 Stainless. SLP uses cheaper 409. The 300 series stainless is alot better quality. Unless your car does wheel stands and comes down hard( as mine did) the Kooks and ARH will not get damaged or hang up on about any bump.

Default Kooks versus SLP

I've had both. Kooks hands down is better than SLP. Better ground clearance and their y pipe fits nicely.
