Default Headers??

Thinking of getting headers in the future. I am also planning on installing a Comp cam pretty soon. Would like to do the headers after the cam. Need to know which ones would work well with my Cam and exhaust. The cam I bought is Comp 222 226 .566 .569 114. I currently have Borla exhaust. I want headers that give good HP, sound, gas mileage, etc. Will probably go with cats for now. Also, something not too overpriced. Kind of leaning towards Hooker, but suggestions and opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Id try the QTP headers out. FLP and Hookers are very popular as well. Slp's hang low and are $$$, but its up to you.

Another vote for the QTPs, their optional merge collectors may help a lot with that cam

Thanks for the replies! I will take the QTP's into consideration. But, will do some comparisons with others before making the decision.

I've got a set of QTPs with merge collectors on order. They should be great when they get here, but be aware that there is a wait for them. So if you need them soon, you might want to look at Thunder - same design, just not stainless and no merge collectors.
