might as well ask; blonde or brunette. cant go wrong with either

if you get qtp's i'd opt for the HMVC. and either one you choose the TSP duals wont be a direct bolt on.

Ah w/e im sure my exhaust guy can pull it together..money isnt much of a problem so i dont mind..i was thinkin about pacesetters but im really not in a bind on money and i read a few threads about pacesetters being crappy and easily rusting so why not go with the 2 top headers..

The main difference between the two is the placement of the cats - look at the ys and see which one suits your needs.

You can't go wrong with either header. But the TSP duals will probably give you problems in getting the necessary ground clearance. For maybe $40 more, you can get custom built true duals that comes full welded with clamps with a Dr. Gas X from Lane at www.lanesperformance.com. Mine bolted right on and tuck up very nicely with no banging.

I have QTP's and several friends have Kooks. No difference, other than the HVMC option with the qtp's. Both are great headers, so choose whichever you can get a better deal on.
