SLP or Hooker headers
I had SLP's for like 2 years and now have hookers..why'd I switch? ground clearence..the SLP's hit on every damned thing taller than a pebble..I smashed mine up good with stock ride height, when I decided to lowe the front with Hal's i knew i would be screwed so I sold em and got hookers, no problems at all. i didn't really like the design of the slp's either, i think the hookers will make more power. i got slp only cuz they were the only longtube desing other than G-hanns available in spring of 01.
Hooker all the way, more power, more ground clearence,and better design. Definitly get the coated ones tho. Or you could get some headers from jet hot, they make there headers off the design of hooker so are pretty much the same thing and make the same power, plus they are coated and are a little cheaper than coated hookers.
SLP LTs for $400 (brand new) 
That's a good price!!!
I'm still happy with my Slp LT's despite others' criticism. SLP LTs make the same hp as everyone else out there +/- 5hp. I also don't have ground clearance issues, but I haven't lowered my car either (probably won't).

Try Flowtech, A sister company to hooker, exact same design, and same quality, I got a set of coated headers and an uncoated Y pipe for $509 shipped. There are a few posts about them on here.

DON'T waste your money on Pacesetter's unless you get them coated. Trust me on this, I thought I was getting a deal on those things then two weeks later they warped from the heat and I had a grimey exhaust leak. Now I've got Hooker ceramic LT's w/ no problems at all. Besides, Hooker has been around forever, I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing. Hope you make the right decision!
I've installed Pacesetters on a 98Z and after after grinding the K member and denting a tube for clearance, they still bang. And that's the headers, The Y was even worse. If trying to decide only between Hookers and SLPs, then definately the Hookers.
