Default Has anybody had both kinds of headers?

What I mean is has anyone had expensive sets like the Kooks or QTP's and also like pacesetters or mac's? If so, was there is any power, sound, or quality difference? I am asking because I was set on the Kooks but the money is taking longer to get here than I thought.

I have heard of lots of people having one or the other but never both.

P.S.--- I have hit the search button and not found what I am looking for

Save up for the QTP's or Kooks. I had the Hooker LT's and there is no contest in quality versus the QTP. The Hooker LT's leaked, fit was marginal and failed after 20 months. The JetHot Coating blows and the headers rusted. So, I had to buy a second set of headers because I was disappointed in the Hooker LT's. In the long run, I bought the QTP's anyway. The quality of the QTP's is second to none. The welds and fit was perfect. I could not be happier and I have no banging. I had plenty of that with the Hooker's and never totally resolved it. I urge to not make the same mistake I did, go QTP.
