What are my 1 7/8" header choices?

Who all makes them? I know Kooks at QTP does, but is that it? Which is better? I dont plan on using a Y-pipe so that doesnt matter.

Edelbrock does as well. It is 6 of one half dozen another. They are both stainless. Honestly I like the Kooks 1 7/8's better.

So QTP doesnt make them anymore? Looks like Kooks, American Racing, or Edelbrock?

I have been told Kooks are the best by alot of engine builders who do not sell headers. So it is not like they are a distributor for Kooks and they have nothing to gain from saying that. I was looking at QTP's and Kooks, and I have decided to go with Kooks hands down. Have heard nothing bad about them except a couple of fitiment issues, which I believe every header and car can have that issue.
