A lot of people like Pacesetters....look into EDELBROCKS....better than P.Setters, and cheaper by far than SLP.

Try them out and give us a write up on the fit and difficulty of installation.

Most 1 3/4 headers are going to be very very compareable and the benefits of the most expensive over the cheaper, IMO, are miniscule. I had Pacesetters on both cars and the both made great power for the setups and the cars. The first car made 400/380 on a 98 Stalled A4 with a 224/224 .563/.563 112 and 241's w/a pulley and LS6 intake. The new car makes 431/382 with a 238/242 .605/.610 113, extremely well hand ported LS6 heads, no pulley, and the stock LS6 intake all though a stalled A4 with 17x12 wheels in the back. When it comes to LT's, at least 1 3/4, they are all very close.

I don't care how hard they are to install, I mean really you only have to do it once. So fit would be a bigger deal to me.

Tru dat.

I have QTP's, but that's because I got a good deal on them used. Otherwise, the cheaper the better as far as I'm concerned.
