Default Thinking of buying headers soon need opinions!!!!!!

ok ive been looking around and i dont wanna spend a lot of money on headers i want to try and keep it under the 600 dollar mark for a full dual exhaust system. for now after i get my LT's im just gonna run 3 in pipe back to dual sweet thunder mufflers. and eventually go with a H pipe setup with dual electric cut outs. ( but that well on down the road.) so i need to know what yalls opinions are for header. i dont want to spend over 400$. and im gonna install them myself. i was thinking either..... Flowtech, pacesetter, hedman, or edelbrock. so let me knw what yall think!!

Pacesetters if that is all you are willing to spend and as long as you can jack the car high enough you shouldnt have any problems installing.

I like my flowtechs, they are really cheap and perform very well-the welds lack quality, but it won't affect performance, unless there is a big hole next to the weld, and if thats the case you call them up and have them send out a new header. I had to have one sent out because the flange was'nt even, but they sent out a new one right away, and now everything is fine. They even come with o2 extenders, and 3 inch collector reducers. Tbyrne has them for 230 uncoated
