I recently had to pull my headers to toss my solid motor mounts in and that got me thinking that since I'm about to have a custom TD set-up built now'd be a good time to replace my headers. The ones I've got now rusted.

Anyway, I was thinking about some edelbrock stepped headers or some of the QTP HVM's if I can find them for a good enough price, but I figured I'd check in here since I haven't been keeping up with the latest exhaust fads.

Thoughts?

a header is a header pretty much. Its all about which one fits best. I have heard mixed reviews on QTP. Not too sure about the edlebrock. Pacesetters have good fitment, are coated, and cheap. They are by far the most popular around here. SLP's have horrible ground clearance from what I see here.

What about Kooks.....???? Stainless, easy install(easy as headers go), and great ground clearence. You wont need to buy another header.

kooks = $$ I don't have. The only reason I'm considering the QTP's is for the HVM
