If your on a budget go Pacesetters and if you have some money for really good headers go for the ARHs.

Kooks 1 3/4 or QTP 1 3/4 on the 1 7/8 you will lose HP and TQ if you are on a stock cubed motor .

the QTP 1 3/4 are the shiznit and if you don't believe me, message WS6FirebirdTA00, he has dyno graphs to prove it versus pacesetters

I'll just add that my QTP's slid in with no clearance issues.

My decision was between QTP, ARH, and Kooks. Felt the three were close enough that I'd go with the set I could get the best deal on.

Like many people said, if you got the extra $ go with ARH, little over $1000 with ORY,had mine for a year, no problems so far, best investment I did on my car
