Question $600 limit on LT headers for an A4

So here's the deal.... I'm getting LT headers and high flow cats next month- I already have a custom true dual x-pipe system w/Magnaflow bullets on my A4 CETA. I've seen many posts that seem to lean towards Pacesetters as good budget LTs, but I want to hear other recommendations for my $600 limit on the LTs. My car is not lowered so I don't have to worry about them scraping the pavement just about the fit and price. Any suggestions?

I've used the same set of coated pacesetters on two of my cars. They get my vote

Pacesetters for price, ease of installation, and great fitment. Or for another $75 or so, you can get LPP/XS headers in stainless. I had major installation and fitment issues with mine, but other guys have had none.

My vote is for XS, but you may want to wait a little while for the revised version to come out though.
