Do some searching bud. Read the stickies at the the top too. A lot of people like Kooks headers.

QTP stainless all the way ..

i had the Jet Hot Coated JEt hots with Hooker Y before. THey rusted after like 7 months..

I did a lot of research and decided that QTPs were the best. I even found more power from going from the Jet Hot to QTPs.

QTP's Y pipe has a true Merge collector in the Y pipe yielding more power, I also have the HV(High Velocity Merge) header collectors and they rule.
