Pacesetter doesn't make 1 7/8 headers which is why the primary size debate came up....again. I'd say he has some good info on what set to buy.

OP: Are you dead set on those two choices? What are your HP plans? and what is your budget?

If your considering other options other than those two and are trying to make a little power and money isn't a factor...your best bet is a set of 1 7/8" Kooks or ARH headers. This is just my opinion and experience.

Did Kooks ever fix their crappy y-pipe merge?

Not sure about their y-pipe, I run ARH headers / y-pipe and everything fit like a glove and cleared t/a etc.

Default Headers

Just throwing this out there if you want to save a few dollars you can install the BBK Ceramic coated long tubes for about $500 and comes with the y-pipe. Mine went right in with no issues Look and sound great. Plus you can use the extra money you save to install the poly mounts right away.

Best budget header out there right now? I'd say the Speed Engineering LT's: http://www.speedengineeringlsx.com/s...ersion-25-1021

$366 for stainless, true 1-3/4" primaries and a great y-pipe. Really can't be beat for budget-minded people.
