Default What headers should I go with?

Have an 02 z28. Looking for a good set of headers for about 400 bucks or less with good horse power gains and great sound. I have an SLP loud mouth exhaust. If anyone could post their recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks and God bless!

I got the BBK Chrome LT's and have had zero issues with them. Great headers for the money. Your going to get a few different recommendations but make sure you get OEM header gaskets, good bolts as well and you wont regret anything. I went with stage 8 bolts, oem gaskets myself and not even a slight leak and its been over a year.

+1 for the coated Pace lt and ypipe. I had an easy install and lasted without a problem with my old set up for a good 4 years.

I have a used set of Hooker headers that I can sell you for the price of shipping.. Let me know if you want them. I went 10.90 with them and my old build. I also have my old true dual exhaust that came off my car. I have a whole new setup now so I won't need them..
