Looks...any coated header...performance..gotta say my stainless qtps are excellent.

 

Coated Bassani Mid length. Dont buy mac.

 

the QTP/kooks will make the most powerhookers are best bang for your buck.
Macs are great for midlengths

 

What he said

I went though the decision process the last few months, and am going to be getting Hookers most likey.

 

If your looking for a good deal you'll probably want to look at the Hooker Long Tubes or the Pacesetter Long tubes. Mac's deliver about 90% of the performance of long tubes at a lower cost. Kooks are very expensive but might be the best, especially if you have a larger than stock cubic inch engine.
I personally have the Hooker Long Tubes and off road y-pipe. I bought them for thier performance and price.

 

what's wrong with the macs???

 

nothing is wrong with macs but you may gain a little power with long tubes such as pacesetters that are roughly the same price. there is not a lot of data on pacesetter dyno numbers though

 

I found my Jet-Hot's cheaper than most places offer the Hookers at LM Performance. Better quality and come with the famous Jet-Hot coating that allot of people send off their headers to have coated. Almost everything in my sig came from LM. I'm happy

 

You always gotta love pointless replies like this. Mac being a well established name along with damn good proven performance, but dont buy them! Of course this claim is backed up with zero evidence, experience, or even a thought.

 

When i first started visiting this board i was told that an A4 w/3.42 is not a good working combination for our cars.I later found out that was a line of crap.It took a year and a half to realize it wasn't true.

I'm with you on this one u8dusst.

 

I just ordered a set of the coated hookers to replace my SLP's, after doing extensive searching on these boards it seems that alot of people have had real good results with this header dyno wise, Total for the y pipe and the headers I think I came out around 300 bucks cheaper than the Kooks. Both Kooks and hookers have had good results so I would say if you have 300 extra dollars get the Kooks if not get the Hookers.

 

134LS1-Year QTP Long Tube Header 1 3/4" Stainless Steel Emissions Style 98-99 or 00 or 01-02 $774.99

 

LS1Y3CAT 3" Off Road Y Pipe with Carsounds Cats $500.00


LS1Y3RT713 3" Off Road Y Pipe with Random Tech Metallic 713000 Cats $850.00

how about which Y pipe is better to go with the QTP headers...big price difference...

This is almost like WHICH BEER IS BEST!

I'm looking at QTP and Y/cats setup vs set of used FLP headers for 800.00 (used about 4 months)

I just agonized over this decision myself. The end result? $511 for the Jet-Hot (hooker clone's, supposedly better though) LT's shipped to my door. Should be here early next week IMHO, the best bang for your buck longtubes there are unless you get uncoated hookers. Best bang for your buck overal is DEFINATELY the uncoated Macs. (well, the Macs are HTS coated but it's crap, nothing beats a Jet-hot sterling silver coating :O))

 

I got the jet hot lt headers and they look awesome, mines was $560 shipped to my door here in HAWAII thats dirty cheap compared to hookers $629 plus $105 shipping. and I read in the forum couple of months ago this guy had picks of his hookers rusting so he replaced it with jet hots! i havent installed mines yet cause still deciding on wat mufflers to get for my x pipe!

 

i just got done installing my Jet-Hot LT's this weekend. the install went very well. The LT's fit great. I also did a poly motor mount on the driver's side along with a poly tranny mount at the same time and I have no banging on my k-member that others talk about.

The only problem that I have with them is that the y-pipe did not fit too well. But after a little tweaking it fits fine now. No banging, rattling, or leaking.

Over all, I am pretty happy. And the low price was a big bonus. I would definitely do it over again.

Now I just need to get back to the track to see what kind of improvements I see.
