What's your price range?

The general consensus is if you want the best, go with stainless QTP or Kooks. If you can't afford those, get ceramic coated Pacesetters.

I have the same exhaust and I have tried 2 differnet types of headers: Flowtech and pace setter. Flowtech are the biggest pieces of crap I have ever seen. The pace setters I currently have along with one of my friends slap the floor board when you floor it. I fixed that situation. So, now you know of two types to stay away from.

I don't think FLP makes f-body headers any more. Best advice is to figure out how much your willing to spend, what your looking for in a header (quality, price, fit...) and go from there. Like said above people looking for most bang for a buck go with Pacesetter. Middle of the road would be Hooker, JetHot... And top of the line would be the Stainless Steel headers like Kook's and QTP.

It is the Y-pipe that bangs, not the header.
