Hooker or Jet Hot
Yes, the removable cat Y-pipe includes the cats. Again guys, people like to come down on the coating because all they have had is the cheap "outside only" coating jobs that Pacesetter has done. These Jet Hot headers are coated inside and out and will last basically the life of the car!
I have had my Jet-Hot coated Hooker LTs since 2002. I wouldn't go with any other header, Hooker is the best IMO. They were a breeze to install with absolutely no fitment issues, nor ground clearance issues. And yes, they came with everythign to install them ... less the tools. 
The other really huge factor is, the bung placement for the O2'S on the jethots fit without ANY issues. There are so many sets of long tubes on the market that change the O2 location and you have to end up hammering something to get it all to fit.
Kooks and QTP's are seriously a HUGE waste of money. They don't last any longer, they don't provide larger gains , they don't look better, yet they cost $300+ more, why ?

Jet Hot's are the same as Hooker. I bought my car with the XS stainless already on them, and I have no complaints. They obviously make good power, look at my sig. 11.40s @ 116 with 340hp 
If I were to need new ones, I would go with the Jet-Hots because they pay out for NMCA contingency.

None of the others are TIG welded, or have things like blended primaries...and there is obviously the difference stainless vs. Plain steel. Also you can get Kooks in 1 7/8", 2" stepped, you name it.

I have Kooks longtubes and their catted Y.....I think they are great. If you have the money get them. Good fitment, nice finish,great product. If your on a budget, pacesetters are the way to go. Just get yourself a set of copper gaskets (theirs are basically like paper) About 4 of my buddies have them, and love them. It's your call.
My friend has Jet Hots, just a couple years old, and they're rusty as sh*t. I'd go Pacestters cause they're cheaper.
