Default Headers

I am having trouble deciding between headers. I have four options I am thinking of. Pacesetter, JetHot, Hooker, or Lingenfelter. I haven't been able to find any lingenfelter headers so it may just end up being between those three. I am really just asking for your opinions. It's the next mod i'm going to do and I want to make sure I make the right choice.

After installing ARHs and running them for a few weeks, the choice seems like a no-brainer. Before buying the ARHs I was filled with doubt whether they were worth the cost and if they were overrated or mostly hype. Now I would rob my senile grandmother (kidding) to come up with the cash to buy these headers. They are that good in every way.

I wrote an install note/ appreciation thread after installing them:

I am also trying to decide about headers and what to get. The LPP's are the best deal in my opinion if you want stainless. Sponsor here sells pacesetters with the jethot coating inside and out which i am also looking at. I also want to keep engine bay temps down. There are many choices depending on what you want and that's where i am at. thanks
