hm.............you need to do more research.... flp were one of the nicest headers out a few years back...but they arent stainless so they eventually rust..
do more reseach and you'll come up with QTP stainless being possibly your best choice.

Kooks is the way to go in my opinion. The great thing about them is the headers are stainless, and they give you options!! 1 3/4, 1 7/8, or even stepped headers!! Race headers with no emissions, or they also have them with all the factory emission hook ups. They also have a nice Y pipe (off road or high flow cats) that is aluminized. We keep Kooks on the shelf and would be happy to get you pricing for what you need. Feel free to call, pm, or email me with any questions!!

All others tuck up fine.
$- Pacesetter
$$- Hooker
$$$- QTP or Kooks (QTP HVMC fan and satisfied customer myself).
The supramaxx system looks neat too. Pretty pricey.
I will be in the market for LT's again soon (new build up) and if I do an F-bod again, I'm leaning towards Edelbrock stepped. Great price, great collector, great Y. SDPC---->
i know alot of people will tell you kooks or qtp. but they are really, really expensive. if it were me i would just get pacesetters. you pretty much can get all your bolt ons for the price of kooks or qtp. you figure kooks or qtp are atleast gonna set you back 1400 bucks. in my eyes, thats your lid, pacesetter longtubes w/ ory, a catback, and pulleys. and i think tsp has said over and over it puts the same amount of hp like all the other brands. everybodys seems to like their pacesetters. the only thing that sucks is the y pipe.

I am going to agree with TXZ28LS1 QTP/KOOKS are pretty expensive it you dont care about them rusting go ahead and get pacesetters, but if quality is what you are looking for just spend more money now than regreting it later on. I just ordered some qtp's after a long time of holding back.

no doubt, definitely stainless. but man, you can spend that 1400 bucks towards all your other mods. ive even heard people thats had ceramic coating for more than a year and everything is fine. somebody was saying, unless you live in a messed up weather area than i would worry about ceramic coating.
