Default what are the best headers for me???

The Macs or the SLP's-----only two i am considering

mods are in the sig.---100 shot of nitrous, what would be best the LT's or the Macs?

Which ones are easier to install?

I know the price difference but i want the best for my baby. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Consider the new Hooker long tubes. Not much more $$ than Macs, and look to be good quality. Actually, the painted version is cheaper than Macs. Like $360 or something.

I posted basically the same response to the FLP header posting. You will need to check for any differences between the years of our cars though. I know nothing about nitrous and how that would affect your set up.

Just my .02 cents worth with my SLP LT Headers, "Y" Pipe, and RT Cats. Seriously, if I had any problems with them I would tell you. They are a perfect match with my 01' SS.

I installed them myself on jacks with some help from reference postings. (It took me 3 days by myself) I am not a mechanic by any means either. They fit perfect and the quality is great. I have not encountered any clearance problems with them. Basically, I am saying they are a great product with no problems. Are there better headers out there...maybe, I am letting you know my experience with the SLP LT's. No risk with the SLP LT's on a 01' SS.

Hope this helps.

Todd.

I too have SLP's LT and I'm quite happy with them. I dont know much about the Mac headers so I cant comment on them.

i ABSOLUTELY love my dynatech LT headers. for the money and sound, dont go with the macs. they have the worst sound of all of them. the FLP/Dynatechs have had great success and were SOOOOOO easy to install. mine installed in less than two hours when doing my cam! that is great in my opinion.

From what I've heard the Dynatechs are the way to go, that's what I plan on getting.
