Default whats the cheapest stainless headers?

Im looking to get headers for my winter project of the year and at first i was just gonna get pacesetters but I think i've decided to shell out the extra money and get stainless headers just because i want headers that will last a long while. Whats the cheapest stainless headers that i can count on to last me for a long time? So far i've been looking at kooks mostly, but i dont know of other brands that offer stainless. I've heard AR headers are really good but alos that they are one of the priciest pairs out there. What would you guys recommend me?

Wrong. XS headers are on here by a sponsor.

There are ones on Ebay, but would you risk it?

well... i can see the argument for both sides, but in the end we DO have sponsers that pay for those very things so without them we couldn't have the site we have today. However, I think there should not be anything wrong with pointing fellow members to a certain product that may better their need even if the sponsers don't carry it.

ok question for XS:

I have AT LEAST 50 PM's a month asking me about the headers and who to buy from yadda yadda yadda, is there any chance you'd be intrested in making me part of a signature or a pic link or something to forward potential customers to you. I always give them your screen name and despite my thread on them with all your info they still ask me about it. So maybe we can work something out?

Sponsors pay the bills to keep this place running, please give them your business their rates tend to be extremely competitive, and you have the benefit of follow-up contact with them vs. the shaky follow-up of pure eBay companies.
