FLP all the way
Best fit and you don't have to remove the starter or motor mount to install these.

But you do have oil plug issues with them, and they are 2.5" pipes and many others are 3" all the way back to the catback.

PPC/ Kooks / QTP are the best headers.

The Kooks & QTP are both stainless which is good and the QTP Y-pipe is the best of the two.

PPC has a polished coating warrantied for 3 years to your satisfaction, a very similar y-pipe to the QTP as far as the collector, plus you can change out the cats to ORP like the FLPs.
The best *overall* system IMO are the PPCs...but they are also the most money.

STAINLESSWORKS!

Seriously, for the $$, they are cheaper than Kooks or QTP, they use 304L stainless steel, welds are perfect, thick flanges, and NO BANGING.

Hands down, StainlessWorks Headers are the best all-around. Sponsor link to the right.
