For headers, it'll depend on your budget, if you have the $$$ to spend QTP or Kooks would be what you want (I'd favor the QTPs, due to the merge collector)
If you have a more modest budget, the coated Pacesetters are a good choice
Y pipe the TSP Y is a popular choice (with Pacesetters), or you can go with the QTP or Kooks catted Y
As for what you gain, 20-30 is the usual figure (you may get more with a tune), and you can feel the difference
As for what it'll cost, several sponsors have sales going on for both the Kooks/QTPs, and the Pacesetters, scroll down to the sponsor section, and shoot out a couple of PMs to get your best price

for kooks and qtp probably over $1000 for lt's and catted y, for pacesetters with catted y around $500. i would go with what you can afford.

I jusy bought a pair of Jethot LT' s and they are SWEET.

Very well made, no weld slag, the coating is nice. I want to mount them on the fireplace mantle.

Looking at picking up the Mufflex ORY or the Hooker ORY. I am leaning more towards the Mufflex, however, Tbyrne told me its not a direct fit and "would require some time and work". Could not be specific, though.
