SEARCH is your friend, although it has been having some issues lately. Soundwise they're all going to be about the same. The QTP headers with the hvmc are going to be the best bet flow wise with Kooks being a close second IMO. All lt headers are very close performance-wise though. You pay extra for quality pretty much.

Pacesetter will be your best choice for cost/performance. They are priced very reasonably & I haven't heard one member on here with a bad experience. They are also said to be one of the easiest to install. Thats what I'm gettin soon.

They all about make the same gains which will vary with each individual car. It basicall comes down to if you want S.S. or not. I personally wouldn't waste the extra $400 just for Stainless. Its better spent elsewhere.

QTP HVMC hands down will make more power than any other header. Polished stainless also gives the Bling

You should also check out Dynatech headers, if I were to buy headers they would be my choice.

QTPs. I have had them, and loved them. Now, you can get HVMCs and a full polish for the same price as the regular collector. More money, yeah, but they are bad@$$
