Most on here go with the cheapest they can afford, I personally choose the Hookers. They fit very well and isntalled easily, contrary to popular judgement.

I talked to several people with Hookers before I bought mine and they all said they fit great and had no probs with install. They also said they tuck up nice which is important to me since I am lowered. Having said that mine are sitting in my living room as I gather all my stuff to do H/C, intake, ehaust, oil pump, TC etc.. all at once so I can only pass along what I have heard. I wanted SS and they were 519$ from one of our sponsers. Not bad compared to some other SS headers. The quality and collector design looks good too. I heard good things about Pacesetters too so I don't think you will go wrong with either one. I just wanted SS so I went with Hooker.

The guys I talked to never mentioned any probs bumping the floorboard. I am gonna do poly motor mounts at the same time which I think eliminates that issue 99% of the time.

I was going to go with pacesetters at first. All i have heard about them is how good of fitment and bang for the buck they are. Only problem with both of those headers...you are going to see surface rust very quickly if your car is in the weather much. If i was you...id go with a set of stainless if you got the money. I was going with ceramic coated at first until i saw a 5 month old set rusted. Go stainless if you got the money.

I agree, that is why I got hooker SS. I got them from T-byrne and was the cheapest SS could find. Just couldn't justify spending $170 more for the next cheapest SS header I could find even if the collector was a little better. Plus the Hookers are supposed to fit great. I think they will work out good when I get them on.
