Best price or best headers? I'd suggest Kooks. Build your own Y....both aren't very good.

Kooks and ARH have great headers. Go with 1 7/8 headers. Maryland Speed always has great prices on headers soo make sure to check in there.

Exotic Exhaust in Hiram Ga is by far the best around. He built some headers for my 5.3l that was built about thr same specs as your engine and man I can tell the difference in throttle response and overall power. He is not the cheapest around but when you really are one of the best why be cheap.

You get what you pay for and his work is worth ever penny. I paid 1600.00 for my custom headers but my install was completely custom and aftermarket did not have anything to fit I tried a lot of them.
