Pretty much anything with 1 3/4" primaries would work great since you have stock cubes. If you have the extra money, by all means I would go stainless. Just find what you want with the best deal and go for it.

I would look into the Kooks 1 7/8 headers. If you plan to do any other mods this would be a good header to grow into. We have them in stock with the emissions fittings or the race style. Let me know if you would like a price!!

does having a stepped headers really make that big of a difference? I mean if i have no idea what i'll be doing as far as future mods, would i be better off getting 1 7/8? or stepped? or just stick with 1 3/4? I would want emissions and stainless is a definite here in NJ. thanks for the help!

If your keeping the stock cubes stay with 1-3/4 headers, theres NO REASON to do 1-7/8s unless your uping the cubes. And im gonna have to agree with everyone else, QTPs ROCK.
