hes right, most regard these as the 2 best headers available, however they are the 2 most expensive. I have the jet hot headers, and am happy so far, but if I had it to do over, I'd get the Edelbrock's. Too bad they werent out when I bought my headers

Just get you a set of Armor coated Pacesetter LT's for under $400 shipped to your door. Best bang for the buck & if you dont live on a coast or in a snowy state dont even worry bout wastin money on stainless.

I think so, some dissagree but the stainless will never come off I've read alot of posts of the coating comming off other headers. I only drive my car on sunny days it only gets wet when i wash it, I figured spend the 700 once or go cheaper and posibly have to replace later. I don't regret buying them one bit.

Why Edelbrock???

Welp, they're around $400, they're 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8", they go in pretty easy, and their Ti-tech coating is supposed to be pretty good, too. Not that I have a set, I'm just passing along what I've heard about'em.

And search, this question has been gone over hundreds of times before.

Personally I'd go with coated pacesetters, but I am always on limited funds.

I would personally get the Edelbrocks if it was me, but I'm not unhappy w/ my Jet-hots. I've been hearing alot of really good things about the Edelbrock headers, so for the reasons listed above and the $$$, I think its a really good deal.
