IMO the best is (1) QTP because of their HVMC's, followed VERY closely by (2) Kooks.

what is the length on kooks? what about QTP?

QTPs are equal length, right?
i dont think kooks are

QTP has the HVMC
kooks do not

all you guys buy kooks

i will buy QTP, okay?

Any stainless steel headers will last the longest.

I went with kooks and am glad I did.

I got SLP LTs, just because when I bought them there was not much on the market. I cant complain tho, with my 3xpipe and true duals with 12inch bullets sounds beautiful.
This sound is unique. As far as performance... well car runs damn good I can tell u that. But if I was to buy headers now..Id definetly go with QTPs.

QTP HVMC are the best. The make the most power. The are polished stainless steel. They will never rust. And now they come with the merge collectors as a standard. Also they are cheaper than kooks.Its a no brainer
