only differances really are ease of install, finish, and price
if you want to spend the money get the QTPs, otherwise get the coated Hookers, thats what i got and they work just fine
if you want to save some money, get some pacesetters, i don't know what everyone else is talking about, but those were the only headers to give me a hell of time putting them in

I think QTPs have clearance issues with there y pipes so I got the coated 1 7/8s kooks on the way,Qtp say there headers give 40hp or so and I suspect kooks are just as good, as for hvmc I dont no if the kooks collecters are as good or not but I think they have a venturi collecter with turbulance spike or something so should be just as good unless anyone knows better?

I too have Pacesetters ( EGR type) coated.. have approx. 110K on them.. some surface rust but still solid! VERY simple install.. NO problems whatsoever..
Getting ready to replace them with the Pacesetter "Race" style ( non-egr) headers.. along with my ported LS6 heads this week!! I can't wait!!

I am very happy with my QTP HVMC, they look excellent, very happy with the performance gains it gave me, and my buddy who works on f bods said they where the esiest headers to install.
