Pacesetter + most everyone with an F-bod, great quality for a great price! if money is not an option, then KOOKS OR QTP OR HEADMAN HEADERS FTW!

I hav e heard that the slp have ground clearence problems. On the other hand I have been running my pacesetters for about 2 years now and love them. Like DesertLS1 said they are a great deal for the price, but if you want to spend alittle more and get kooks, QTP, or dynatech then go for those. You might even get a few more hp with them.

I've got pacesetters and thought they went in real nice and have great ground clearence. My buddy just got some of the new Edelbrock LT's and they look like a real nice header too. We'll keep you posted on how they work out.

Buy the SLP's and you'll have a snowplow. Those things hang down lower than the tires.

Pacesetters are proven and cheap. I'd get them in a heartbeat if I didn't want to crank out the dough for Kooks/QTP/ARH. I used to have a set, and they were badass. Went in/out even easier than my Kooks that I have now.
