Your just going to get opinions that don't really add up to anything.

But if you need an answer I would have to say QTP or Pacesetters.

Another vote for QTPs. Polished stainless steel, great fitment and high velocity merge collectors. You cant beat it.

Depends on how much $$$$ you have to spend.

On a buget; Pacesetters

Pockets full of $$$$; Kooks

QTP's are really nice, but the same can't be said about the y-pipe.

The Kooks are very nice, but their y-pipes are what made me go with them. They fit awesome. I also wanted a 1-7/8 header, which QTP doesn't sell any more.
